While the weather here in the Twin Cities hasn’t been consistently representing the spring season, it is now officially spring break season! If you have been having a stressful time with school, work, or just life in general, hopefully spring break gives you some time to decompress and relax from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life. If you’re headed off for warmer weather or just going on vacation elsewhere for spring break, I’ve got you covered with my top essentials for your getaway makeup bag!
2. Universal Highlighter When I say a “universal highlighter,” I mean a highlighter that looks flattering on whatever skin tone you are at the current moment. For me, my winter paleness is still in full effect but whenever I go on vacation to somewhere warm I tend to develop a tan from being outside and also from lots of sunlight. That’s why I really recommend finding a highlighter that compliments your skin tone when you first go on spring break and for when you come back from vacation. My staple highlight for this occasion is Anastasia Beverly Hills So Hollywood Illuminator. It’s a beautiful light gold shade that works when I am at my most pale or tan. 3. Shade Adjusting Drops Like I mentioned above, my skin tone always changes when I go on vacation. When I know that my foundation won’t match my skin coloring, I use The Body Shop Shade Adjusting Drops, which comes in both dark and light shades. Just mix a few drops of this in your foundation and it will lighten your foundation or darken it to get your perfect skin color. (The one pictured above is the light shade since I used all of the dark shade last summer!) 4. Waterproof Mascara If you’re going to be at the beach or even if you’re just going to watch romantic comedies all night with your friends during this spring break, waterproof mascara is so necessary. Waterproof mascara is great for when you are going to be splashing around in the water all day or if you’re crying during the ending scene of a Nicholas Sparks movie. It will bleed less and you’re not as likely to have trails of mascara tears running down your face. My personal favorite that I have been using for years is the Buxom Lash Waterproof Mascara. 5. Concealer Not everyone wants to wear a full face of foundation on their skin, especially when you just want to relax during your spring break, that’s why concealer is your best friend. It’s great for hiding any redness or acne, but also for when you were up to late watching Netflix and you need to hide those dark under eye circles. Lately I have been using the Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer, it’s super lightweight on the skin but it still gives great coverage. Spring break is a great week where you can just take a step back and take minute to relax but also have fun and not think about everything that might be causing you any anxiety or stress. Take some time for yourself to decompress and do something you enjoy with your family or friends. I hope you all enjoyed today’s post and have a fun, relaxing, and safe spring break! Ciao! Xo, Abby
