I’ve been trying to travel light lately. During the pandemic, I stopped wearing a lot of makeup because wearing a mask covered it up anyway. Now that I’ve started wearing some again, I’ve noticed my makeup bag was taking up way too much space in my suitcase – so I recently downgraded to a much smaller bag and only bring my essentials!

 

 

This bag is 3.74 x 3.74 inches. Here is a banana for scale!

 

 

The Makeup Bag I Use:

It’s small, but it holds everything I need!

The Essential Items I Keep In My Makeup Bag:

I bought smaller items that will fit in this bag, here are the links to them!

2. Sunscreen

3. Mascara

I actually use a concealer stick instead of eyeshadow! I like the natural look and it’s easier to travel with than eyeshadow
