Along with planning your wedding, choosing your wedding dress, booking your wedding venue, photographer and all of your other vendors, you also need to think about the honeymoon. Specifically what to pack, and how to pack it.

It pays to be a savvy packer.

When it comes to packing your beauty goodies a few great tricks make all the difference! Seasoned travelers know that well built cosmetic bags make all the difference.  And who wants to arrive at their dream honeymoon destination to find that their favorite eyeshadows and blush have been reduced to a chunky powdery mess?

Celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz, Britney Spears, Penelope Cruz and Teri Hatcher adore travel cosmetic bags from Stephanie Johnson. They come in a huge variety of shapes and sizes, as well as really cool, fashion forward, fun prints. These chic, stylish and functional cosmetic bags have convenient removable pouches, mirrors and compartments for everything a girl could possibly need on her honeymoon.

 Love. This. Bag.

International make-up artist Corinna B.  is the girl to know. She leads a life of glamorous parties, celebrity pals and global jet-setting. She’s gorgeous, she knows how to make you gorgeous, and she’s a New Zealander. Pretty cool, right?

Recently, she divulged so many invaluable tips and bits of wisdom with us that we are writing a series for you, “The Destination Honeymoon Couple”.  Today, Corinna talks makeup!

When it comes to makeup there are so many options to choose from – it can be overwhelming. But there are seven simple steps to streamline what to pack and how to vary your look a little.

 1. Pare it all down! You only need a few key products. Keep your makeup story simple. Take one eyeshadow set, such as a neutral color palette, or for fun a plum palette, and then change it up with different colored eyeliners and lips.

2. Transfer foundation from its heavy bottle into plastic travel bottles or jars. Face Atelier sells sets of travel jars, ideal for foundation, concealer and lip glosses. Buy travel sized primers and powders.

3. Pack a slimlined blush and a bronzer so you can add a little color where and when you need it!

4. Change your look with different fun lipsticks and lip glosses. A soft pink, a hot pink and a tangerine give you plenty of options!                                                      

5. Makeup Forever Aqualiners are waterproof. Grab a couple of different colors for variety or to change up your look.

6. Buy a waterproof or water resistant mascara. Nars has a fabulous water resistant mascara that builds lovely long lashes without clumping or bulking.

7. The ultimate travel makeup product is Nars The Multiple Tint. These are super sheer buildable colors that can be used on cheeks, eyes and lips. For a mere whisper of color, or for bold fun color – you decide!                                

 Try the limited edition colors Cadaques (fuchsia) Beverly Hill (bright red) or Turks and Caicos (orange)

Pack your makeup into well structured beauty bags, such as the ML Traveler by Stephanie Johnson. (For more info on Stephanie Johnson travel accessories, click here!)
