The adventure weekend makeup bag


Now I know a lot of people wouldn't take any makeup on an adventure holiday however on my recent trip to Wales I took a couple of bits just in case we did anything in the evenings. The local pub definitely did not need to see my exhausted bare face! Today I thought I would show you what I took as for me it was the perfect little capsule makeup bag. 

Primer wise, I packed the Stila one step primer as it is super nourishing on the skin and I thought my dry skin would be appreciative of something very hydrating. For base I kept it very light, the Nars Pure radiant tinted moisturiser is one of my all time favourite bases as it sits so comfortably on my skin. I took this as I knew the weather would be cold and that my face was going to have to deal with being battered by the elements. What I love about this is that even though it has all the properties of a tinted moisturiser it offers a really lovely medium coverage. Concealer wise I took Urban decay Naked skin for underneath my eyes as it is just my go to under eye concealer and I also took Clarins instant concealer as it can be worn all over the face which was perfect for the night I just wanted a really small amount of coverage. When used in a targeted way this also has incredible high coverage for how light weight it is. 

For the rest of my face I decided I;d just bring along a bronzer and a highlight. Bronzer wise I bought Mac Refined Golden as it is a beautiful slightly sheeny super natural looking bronzer. It almost reminds me of a lighter Nars Laguna. Now this is in a limited edition packaging however it is available in the permanent line. For highlight I packed Laura Geller Gelato swirl illuminator in Ballerina which is a stunning baby pink highlight shade which is perfect for when I am super pale, so a good 11 and a half months of the year. This just added a little glow without being too intense and over the top. 

For eyes, of course I packed my trusty Urban decay primer potion which you will know if you are a regular reader I take everywhere with me. then for shadow I packed the Dose of colours Baked browns palette as it is just perfect for travel. It has five beautiful matte shades which are super easy and quick to work with and is a palette I would one hundred percent recommend to everyone. For my brows another very trusted product was packed, I pretty much always take my Anastasia Dip brow in medium brown with me as I know I can trust it not to smudge and end up all over my face. Finally for my makeup bag I took this super teeny adorable Urban Decay perversion mascara* I love a good travel size and this one is super slim so seemed the perfect one to pack. 

I'd love to know what you take in a very minimal makeup bag.
