Travel Make up

I need some expert advice!!!

I am going to Europe for 6 weeks in September – and only want to take carry on luggage – which limits the cosmetics I can take! (particularly liquids!)

So, I’m looking for a good foundation that’s quick & easy to apply, has good coverage while still looking natural, has great staying power as touch ups probably won’t happen during the day and comes in a VERY pale neutral shade… would also be good if it was in a compact 🙂

I’m not asking too much am I????

    And you can bring back more things lol

    As long as you have enough undies, bras and clothing for a week or so that you can wash, they don’t really care. And you don’t have to worry about liquid sizes.

    Women shop, that’s expected of us =D

    they don’t really care if it’s half empty, and if they ask you can explain and it’ll be quite reasonable.

    Thanks BQ, I definately don’t want to be detained & questioned!!!! I’ll just have to be strict with myself about the amount I carry in the checked luggage!! – will they care if it’s half empty or will that look sus too??

    Not sure Honeywhite.

    My dads an airline pilot, and he sees heaps of people being asked how long they are coming for, and if it is for more than a week with only carryon they tend to get sus, and detain you for long long questioning lol, and need to call friends and family to check things out. I just think it is simpler to take a case, and say you are going shopping, instead of lugging a carryon bag around.

    Hi Beautyqueen95 – I’ll be staying with family some of the time, so I hope that will make my lack of luggage less suspicious!!?? (and I can tell them that I plan to shop!!)
    I have freinds that have gone with just carry on and said it saves heaps of time & hassle – and forces you to not take more in your pack than you can carry comfortably! – and I’m definately the kind of person that wouldl try to take to much and then struggle to carry it around!!

    Thanks Stay C & ray_jay- the Napoleon Perdis Camera Finish looks perfect! Just the sort of thing I was looking for!

    Thanks Bide, Princess Fiona 1 and Melmeko – great advice!! 🙂

    Hi Melissa – yes I plan to shop there as well! 😉
