My Top Five Tips to Packing Lightly
1. Be realistic with your packing, remember you can't take everything and chances are you probably won't end up using half the make-up you take anyway!

2. Take a make-up bag that's durable, easy to wipe clean (in case anything leaks) and is large enough to fit everything you need, so you don't end up taking extra make-up bags as

3. Look out for travel friendly make-up sample sizes. I tend to get them as a free gift when I'm buying high end make-up as well as getting them free with magazines like Glamour and Marie Claire.

4. If your a frequent flyer look out for make-up brush sets at Christmas, as these are often half the size of your regular brush and are the perfect thing for travelling.

5. If your going a trip where you need day and night products, opt for one palette that can see you through both, as well as a wearable day lipstick and brighter or darker shade for the evening.
