Despite our love of contouring and a full-on smokey eye, we’re all about making our beauty routines as simple as possible. This is especially true when we’re going on holiday. Holiday makeup routines should be quick, easy and light enough to keep our baggage under any airline weight restrictions.

You say: “This trio is all you need to conceal any flaws in your skin before applying makeup. After priming my skin this is the next step I take in my makeup routine. I don’t have too many skin issues, however my skin can look a bit dull first thing in the morning and the lilac shade is amazing a working some kind of magic by awakening my skin to appear fresher and less tired!” – Candyfairy

We say: One of my favourite palettes of all time, the M.A.C Mischief Minx Palette is a bronzed toned eyeshadow and highlighter palette. It comes with eight eye shadows and a lightweight, pearly highlighter formula in Opalescent. It’s the perfect palette for your holiday or weekend away!
