Face

Benefit the POREfessional

poreless, mattifying with a light tint to it. Really need I say more?

Benefit That Gal Brightening Face Primer

Okay, a lot of you are probably thinking "REALLY? TWO PRIMERS?" and I'll admit, I was hesitant on if I should bring two primers. But I'm indecisive when it comes to packing and I'd rather over-pack than under-pack. After a 16-hour flight, one simply does not walk out with radient, super-model skin; in fact, I'm pretty sure one (cough, me, cough) would walk out looking like an extra from The Walking Dead (just without all the wound makeup) - hence, enter the face brightening. If you can't grow it, at least fake it. 

Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation in Medium Ivory 

I was thinking of bringing the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum at first but my skin is quite spotty at the moment so with the medium-full coverage, this would be my most reasonable choice. Plus, this is an amazing foundation!

Bobbi Brown Corrector in Peach

Undereye circles. Those pesky things that come out to play when you're trying to overcome jet lag. The  corrector helps brighten the under eye area like no other and helps fake the "I got ten hours sleep" look.

Bobbi Brown Concealer Kit in Light Beige 

I know this was meant for under the eyes but it creases like it's high on meth...unless I set it immediately. But this works great on blemishes and spots since it's highly pigmented and quite creamy.

Bourjois Concealer Stick in 51

My under eye concealer. It's not as full coverage as I'd like but it's easy to throw around and isn't a hassle to apply.

Eyes

Benefit Creaseless Shadow in My Two Cents

I have the mini version that came with the World Neutrals palette. It's a beautiful bronze-y gold that adds some definition to the eyes. It is shimmery, but not BAM IN YOUR FACE shimmery. It's absolutely gorgeous and so easy to work with. 

Maybelline Master Liner 

Tightlining, it's the way to go. And the quickest way I know how to do my eyeliner.

MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Stubborn Brown

For lining my lower lash line. This pencil doesn't smudge even in the hot humid summer.  

A brown-ish eyebrow pencil

I seriously cannot remember where I got this pencil from. And it's been used so much the packaging is looking sad. The color is a tad too light but it has a spoolie on the end and it does it's job.

Maybelline The Falsies Waterproof Mascara

Volume, definition, doesn't clump up and it's waterproof - need I say more? 

Lips

Smith's Minted Rose Lip Balm

You know you're going to get cracked lips...

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Honey

Simple every day color. And it's in the chubby stick which means you don't have to bring an extra brush.

Revlon Lip Butter in Sugar Plum

For the times when you need a bit of a flare. 

Tools

Sigma F80

Sigma F86

This brush is amazing when you really want to reach into the corners of your eyes or around the nose. What I love about this brush is although it's tapered, it holds it's shape quite well even after months of usage and washing. 

Bobbi Brown Powder Brush

The tapered end allows me to use the end to set my under eye concealer, while the big fluffy whole can use to set my foundation.
