with these 4 packing tips for makeup I will share how I pack and store my
makeup for airline travel I'm going to share four tips that will help you
maximize space in your carry-on suitcase with your makeup I will show you the
makeup that I use and why I choose to pack that kind of makeup I will briefly
talk about some makeup brush tips as well if you travel for work you are
going to love my makeup brush hack and some of you are probably already doing
this stick around to the end see the three makeup hacks that I have when I
travel I usually end up taking a minimal amount of makeup and brushes but I think
my methods are going to help you when you are packing your travel bag or your
toiletry kit like I have I did a video talking about a toiletry kit the only
problem with a toiletry kit is that it takes up almost my entire carry-on
suitcase so I would only use this for like a two-day travel trip travel trip
say that three times fast for packing tip number one we're going to consider
Marie Kondo's philosophy of being intentional in the items that we choose
what makeup will you wear when you travel are you going to need it during
the day are you going to need it at night are you going to need to dress it
up or be in a dark restaurant where you want to really use some accent colors
for this makeup packing video I feel like I need to put out a disclaimer that
we are all beautiful in God's sight makeup does not make us more beautiful
on the inside it is a way of expressing our creativity and expressing our
personality think on that and then follow these next two three steps great
organizers will tell you that your items need to be stored in a home base like at
the end of the day so step number 2 is your makeup items need to be packed in a
home base and for me that is using makeup pouches now I have these freebies
that I've gotten some of them I have bought on my own just little
packages or pouches of different sizes is this not the cutest little pouch
I got it in Target a long time ago for like five bucks you can just find cheap
little pouches anywhere Marie Kondo has a three pouch organization system for
$180 but I am choosing a less expensive set if you like to buy
something for a vacation I highly recommend buying little cheap pouches
from TJ Maxx or even your grocery store our h-e-b has some adorable makeup
pouches that you can use for travel packing methods with pouches you can
store different size makeups in those different sized containers or pouches
your travel bag pouches also can fit in the pockets of open space in a suitcase
like between your clothes are stuffed in this little open section right here
because of their sizes I used to use a really big bright pink makeup pouch that
said sparkle but it was almost as big as my toiletry kit so I got smart and
started breaking it down into smaller pouches still organizing them to a
certain degree but it doesn't have to be organized it just means that your
containers or your pouches are going to hold the different size makeups and
amounts that you have when you travel the number 3 packing makeup tip is to
build like a pyramid or for you moms out there to make a Minecraft step section
down to a pool in your beautiful city on minecraft so what I'm basically doing
I'm building a pyramid I'm going to use the flat pallets that I have as edges in
my long bag okay I use these two ones a travel one and one is just a bunch of
matte eyeshadows for those of you who are curious and I won't take these every
time I travel but if there are some accent colors that I want or a lot of
different mats and if I have the space in my suitcase
I am going to take those two travel palettes and they are flat and they are
long much like the size of my pouch so basically I am going to pack my
makeup in a pyramid shape when I am storing them in one pouch those will fit
in a large pouch if I am packing in a minimalistic way I'm going to have my
blush neutral eye shadows and this covergirl flat palette with the bright
blue because I line well I put on top of my eyeliner a little dark dark bright
blue and then if I really need an accent like I did today I'll put it in the
corner of my eye and you can kind of tell I don't know and then I usually do
end up bringing a bronzer I have overpacked going to a beach location so
many times that I now know that I'm not going to wear a whole lot of makeup at a
beach so I will take like tinted moisturizer I'll take my neutrals and my
blush my one accent color and then maybe a bronzer eyeliner those fit easily in
little pouches now that Marie Kondo is getting us to look at our travel
contents and organizational way we can do what she does her tips and my youtube
videos are going to help spark joy when you get to your final destination and
you know where everything is everything is protected everything is together you
can take it out put it in a home base in the hotel room or wherever your
destination is I do know that makeup nor
things are the source of my joy but they can spark joy in us as long as we know
that's not the source of our joy right packing tip number 4 is to follow the
3-1-1 rule from TSA to get through security if you have any liquid makeup
foundation eye primer face primer anything like that cleanser moisturizer
all of your liquid skincare items that are going through the security scanner
because they're going to go underneath the seat in front of you or those that
makeup is going to go above your head and the little overhead bins above the
airplane seat those have to all be in one quart size bag and the containers of
each of those liquid makeups whatever liquids you have in here perfume the
containers cannot be larger than 3.4 ounces and
then the amounts inside the three point four have to be 3.4r ounces
or less like you can't take a huge bottle of shampoo with just a little bit
of shampoo in there that the container has to be 3.4 ounces now this bag is so
totally cute I got it from Sephora through Amazon and it is you know longer
available but the reason I like this is it's a silicone material so I don't know
what what it is about it it stretches I feel like I can fit more in here and
then I can those stiff plastic square ones that you see on Amazon or in the
grocery store or at t.j.maxx I feel like a bag like a rectangular bag that zips
will fit more and I did find one on Amazon that is this um almost clear
fabric and it is or look and it is the silicone fabric just a little note for
beginners I have a lot of beginners who are subscribing thank you you're gonna
be so proud of yourself beginner flyers who are subscribing to me or watching my
videos the bag does need your liquids bag that goes through security and it's
pulled out in the grave in that bag does need to be clear ish or mostly clear
because if TSA needs to look at it they can look at it quickly instead of
pulling you out a lot out of the line and then delaying you as well as all the
people behind you so that's part of the reason why the bag needs to be clear or
mostly clear now Ziploc also has a stand and fill plastic bag
much like their sandwich bags and that I've used before because my
mother-in-law had them but I didn't want to buy a whole box so I just have this
one that I use over and over again I also like this mostly clear type bag
because what I have inside does not scream out to other passengers oh she's
using Donna Karen white linen perfume I just don't want it to be screaming from
my bag I do recommend these type of containers for carrying really really
thick lotions or cleansers that kind of thing I have Vaseline in one and I've
used cleanser in the other and it does hold quite
bitte but they do save up a lot of space like this is my cleanser container and
it's 4.5 ounces but I can put enough for an eight-day trip in here and wash my
face every day with it if it's thick it will not leak from that kind of
container moisturizer my moisturizer is pretty wet and liquidy so I it has
leaked before in that little disk container and I'll link them below on
Amazon for you in the description box my husband and I have pre checked but we
have not gotten our 14-year old his own pre-check so there are times when I have
to go through the regular security line and pull out my bag of liquids even
though I have pre check I always put my liquids now in a liquids bag just in
case pre check is down or something like that I do travel with a minimal amount
of brushes I don't take all of my brushes I have all these brushes in
another big container fishbowl sized container of brushes that I use at home
but I'm not gonna use those while I travel my hard-working mom made me this
little fold up makeup brush container and I do pack my eyeshadow brushes in
here A makeup brush hack for when you stay in a hotel room is to use the
coffee cups that come in the hotel room the paper ones if you're on a cruise
ship you can use a glass mug from the ship restaurant or that is already in
your room let me know in the comment section below if you have a battle in
your mind over how much makeup to actually pack and let me know if you've
ever over packed or if you're just a minimal make-up packer on your vacation
by the way my name is Laurie and I want to say thank you for watching my videos
I do not want to waste your time so I appreciate your time in spending it with
me and thank you for those of you who stuck around to the end to hear the 3
makeup hacks I shared this one in my life hacks video about how to store a
beauty blender know I used this today so it is wet and when you get a Beauty
Blender wet it enlarges like this and it won't dry out until the next day but a
fantastic makeup hack for the beauty blender is to store it in a plastic
Easter egg it fits perfectly in here when it is dry I
just last week got a Beautyblender sponge cleaner and it is a bar of soap
that is charcoal infused and I think the whole problem with the beauty blender is
they need to give us storage containers for these items like I heard this from a
youtuber this makeup pack from a youtuber I don't know who it was I heard
it a long time ago but there's no way to store this wet waxy soapy charcoal
sponge cleaner now so if you have a hack for how to store that let me know
another makeup hack is to store your liquid containers horizontally in your
liquids bag I know that makeup palettes can get jostled around so another makeup
hack for this is to use one of those white circular cotton pads against the
actual color and the lid and then close it as much as you can it is thin enough
that most of the compacts that you have will be able to actually close when you
put the little cotton pad in there for protection anyway thank you again for
watching my packing tips for makeup travel video leave me a comment below
and let me know if you feel more intentional or more organized with these
four tips
