This weekend, I attended the SweetLife Music and Food
Festival at Merriweather Post Pavilion. Now, I know that I am very local, but I
ended up staying with a relative so that my friend and I could be lazy and not
have to travel as far. I decided that I needed to pack a small makeup bag so
that I could quickly put my face on for this hot, sticky, sweaty day in the
sun.
Packing a travel makeup bag is very difficult for me, but I
took one of my favorite blogger/Youtuber’s advice and packed my bag while I did
my makeup to ensure that I only packed what I needed and did not forget
anything in the process.
BASE & FACE (IN ORDER OF APPLICATION):
The Body Shop InstaBlur Primer
BareMineral’s Complexion Rescue in Chestnut
BareMineral’s Stroke of Light Eye Brightener in Luminous 4
Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Ebony
L’Oréal Brow Stylist Plumper in Medium/Dark
Bare Mineral’s Tinted Mineral Veil
The Balm Instain Long Wearing Blush in Swiss Dot
Elf Eyelid Primer in Sheer
NYX Glam Shadow Stick in Elegant Marble
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Stag
Tarte Gifted Amazonia Clay Smart Mascara
TOOLS:
ELF Cosmetics Complexion Brush for Mineral Veil
Real Techniques Blush Brush for Blusher
Tarte Eyelash Curlers for these lashes
Makeup Bag from Old Navy
As a backup, I brought my Naked Palette in case the gold NYX
shadow did not live up to expectations, but it did so I did not need to resort
to my go-to gold Half Baked. For my base and shadow, I blended it out with my
fingers so that I could cut down on the number of brushes needed. I decided on
something simple for the festival because it was very hot and there was a
possibility of rain. My look held up for the entire day and I was very excited
about that.
