She’s back! International Make-up Artist Corinna B. tells us what a smart newlywed will pack to keep her skin looking perfect on her dream vacation:

Planning a fabulous honeymoon with the man of your dreams?

When choosing what to take with you it pays to think ahead, be organized and have a plan. Especially when it comes to your skin care! If your skin looks fantastic then so will you.

 Remember to condense everything down into smaller plastic travel bottles & jars. Full size packaging will weigh you down and take up too much space. Some companies make travel sizes of their key products to make it easy for you.

Here’s a list of skin care items you can’t go on your honeymoon without!

• Cleanser. Take a gentle cleanser that both dissolves makeup and cleans the skin. Your skin will need extra TLC after days in the sun, on the beach, or in a different climate from home.
• Daytime moisturizer appropriate to the climate you’re going to. Your skin has different needs in a dry climate than it does in a humid one.
• Facial SPF (at least SPF 30) for daily wear. This is not your beach SPF, this is your everyday, walking around sun protection product. Rhonda Allison makes a fabulous facial sunscreen that you need to try.
• Eye cream day and night is essential!
• Night cream/night time moisturizer. Don’t skip this step!
• Specialty booster product. Depending on what climate you’re going to, your skin will have some extra needs. If you’re beaching it, or doing something that involves the outdoors, chances are you’ll need extra hydration. A serum or a moisture booster is essential.
•  If you’re heading to humidity you may need extra help deep cleansing or spot treating break outs that may occur
•  A rescue product. Too much sun? Wind burn from the boat? Hylunia’s Colloidal Silver Spray is an amazing source of instant relief to irritated or sore skin.
• Lip balm! You’ll need it!

 Look for products that do multiple jobs at once.

 Melt by Face Atelier was designed for the savvy traveler. It not only cleanses, but dissolves makeup, soothes and gives treatment too!

 Some companies such as Dermalogica provide single serve topical skin care capsules. Just count out how many days you need. This is a super lightweight, simplified way to travel!

 Philosophy’s Booster Caps do exactly that! They boost your current skin care. Take one capsule for each night you’re away, snap it open and mix it with your night time moisturizer

 There are two skin care products that you’ll need full sizes of:

Facial SPF for the beach. Get as high of an SPF as you can find! Neutrogena makes a dry touch SPF 85 with helioplex that protects the skin and wont break you out.

Body SPF for everwhere else. Get a sunscreen of at least SPF 30. Don’t forget to reapply every couple of hours!

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!)

Look sexy, beautiful and totally lovely as you’re jetting off into the sunset on the honeymoon of your dreams with your brand new husband and GO HAVE FUN!
