During your summer vacation, you'll probably want your skin to take a break from the hustle and bustle of city life. Before you leave, you might be wondering whether to bring makeup, and if so, which ones, and how to apply makeup quickly and easily. I'll share some tips on what to pack in your vacation makeup bag.

In summer, it's worth choosing natural cosmetics with lighter formulas and healthy ingredients. Mineral cosmetics are ideal, as they are kind to your skin and don't weigh it down.

Underlay

Choose one that suits your skin's needs. It's worth combining skincare with the foundation's properties, which include evening out skin tone. A good solution is using a BB cream. These cosmetics moisturize the skin and even out minor imperfections. They're a great alternative to long-lasting, mattifying foundations, often used at work, for perfect makeup all day long.

Consider swapping traditional liquid foundations for mineral foundation. They have a natural, simple formula (mica, zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, iron oxides) and, above all, give the complexion a natural look, without looking mask-like or clogging pores. Annabelle Minerals is a brand that offers foundations in three finishes and four shades. If you have combination or problematic skin, choose a mattifying or full-coverage foundation. If your complexion is dull and tired, an illuminating foundation will add radiance. Choosing a shade isn't that difficult, trust me. It's worth remembering that Annabelle Minerals mineral foundations contain natural UV filters and offer sun protection of 10-20 SPF.

Pink

This multi-tasking product allows you to easily enhance your beauty. Just like foundation, you can choose a mineral blush that looks very natural on the skin. Apply it to your cheekbones, which will make your skin and face look radiant and healthy.

Blush can also replace eye shadow – you can easily create simple eye makeup with it. Simply apply the blush to the mobile eyelid with your fingertip. The choice of shade is important; the goal is to achieve a fresh look. Some colors can create a tired look. A peach shade works well, as it will also beautifully enhance a summer tan.

Applied to the cheeks and eyelids, blush creates a cohesive, natural makeup look. And that's the point!

Mascara

Ideally, it's waterproof or long-lasting. It's reliable in every situation. It doesn't flake or crumble, and lasts until you remove your makeup. If you don't want to wear mascara, head to a beauty salon for eyebrow and eyelash tinting. This is a convenient solution, as the effect of the highlighted hairs will surely last throughout your vacation, and you won't have to worry about this step of your makeup routine.

These three makeup products are worth taking with you on vacation. The makeup you'll achieve with them is natural and fresh. Don't forget about lip balm and face and body creams with an SPF suitable for your skin tone. Mineral foundations contain physical, mineral filters. BB creams have various filters, so when choosing one, choose one with an SPF of 15/20 or higher, as this will provide optimal sun protection.

This set will be perfect for many trips and vacations. Minimalism in the cosmetics bag and practicality combine perfectly.
