TRAVEL FRIENDLY MAKEUP BRUSHES
I haven’t yet found a makeup bag that makes it easy to travel with makeup brushes, so I usually try to stick to just taking the ones that are travel friendly. I have a small collection that are all under 15cm in length. My collection is still growing, but here’s what I’ve got so far…
Bobbi Brown //
Bobbi does some amazing brushes and some of them are really travel friendly without even meaning to be! The Full Coverage Face brush is tiny and compact. It’s great for buffing in foundation whether it’s liquid, cream or powder but can also be used for concealer. Alongside their new Long-Wear Gel Sparkle’s Bobbi Brown also released a new dual-ended cream smudge/ultra fine eyeliner brush. It’s double ended, one end to apply, the other to blend. It’s great to use with cream products and is smaller than a pen so fits perfectly in a makeup bag.
RMK //
RMK brushes are not only super soft and high quality but most of them are pretty small too! They’re the perfect size for makeup bags and you don’t have to compromise on quality, which is something I often find with travel brushes.
Smashbox //
This amazing double-ended, three-way brush came in my Smashbox Full Exposure palette. On one end is a blending brush a bit like the MAC 217 and on the other is a flat shadow brush that has natural hairs on one side and synthetic on the other. It’s absolutely perfect for packing on shadow and blending it out and it’s the only eyeshadow brush I’d need on a short trip!
Kiko //
Kiko have a great little lip brush that looks absolutely tiny until you pull it out to reveal the lip brush inside. It’s great if you like to wear matte lipstick as you can really define the edge before applying. This is a nice handbag staple too.
Blink //
Blink Brow Bar is my regular hang out for eyebrow threading but they also do some great tools and products! This handy little eyebrow spoolie is light in weight and very small. The spoolie itself is great because it’s very firm and brushes through brows well, but it’s the size that really wins me over.
There seem to be more and more travel-friendly brushes popping up in stores, I know that Real Techniques have some too. Some what are some of your favourites?
