If you could only bring one makeup product with you when you traveled, what would it be? Why?
It’d definitely be tinted moisturizer–skin that looks more even is always something that is an instant boost for me.

Mascara – It makes me look more awake and dressed up!
Mascara for me too!! I always need mascara because my lashes are so thin!
Mascara as well, mine a fine and blonde still, I need the definition.
Mascara all the way!
Concealer! I have quite a bit of redness, which is evident on my pale skin. Also to cover up those dark eye circles!
Concealer for me too! my undereye circles are dreadful 🙁
Concealor for me as well!
Third this one. Couperose and dark circles.
Me, too. Concealer for dark circles and redness.
Lip Balm! if that counts… =)
Me too! I constantly moisturize my lips, even when I don’t need to at the moment.
A brown pencil. I always feel better with defined eyebrows & lashlines.
Eyebrow pencil for me too!!
eyebrow pencil. biggest problem on my face
A good creamy concealer. I need the spot treatment because of a facial scar but you can also mix it with moisturizer to create your own tinted moisturizer! Great forgiven skin tone.
Mascara! It instantly makes me look “alive”!!!
I would cheat and take a palette 😛 in seriousness, I absolutely need concealer to convince people the zombie apocalypse hasn’t begun.
Good answer why I didn’t think of that one, can I take a do over lol
Mascara! It’s able to be dressed up, dressed down, and if you are just a little creative it can be made into eyeliner in a pinch 🙂
Mascara definitely but I would surely miss my concealer 🙁
Just One!! Oh I would have to stay home 🙂
*LOL* Ditto!
Haha! I was going to say the SAME exact thing! 🙂
Pawsha ahaha!! You made me laugh.
I would probably say the same thing.
I would never travel without foundation and mascara, to say the least! I really can’t pick only one!! But it’s also true that if my skin was more flawless/slightly tanned I would probably get away with mascara only (I have long but blonde lashes)!
Me,too!!!
Anastasia Medium Ash brow powder, I need it to look normal!!!!!
Duo Mat powder foundation by Make Up Forever =)
Mascara without hesitation ^.^ Most of the time i wear nothing except moisturizer, but mascara is a life saver 😛
A bright red lipstick!
can’t bring one item only. I need foundation + powder (In all seasons), eyebrow definer as my brows are invisible (pale blonde), mascara and eyeliner. that’s the basic minimum I require to step outside my door…
I would go with mascara or eyeliner. No, eyeliner. I’m not huge on lashes but I do like eyeliner and if worn right can make your eyelashes look okay too. Plus you can wear it so many ways.
Mascara!
Blush! I look so sallow without some blush one 🙁
i would say either a brown eye pencil (for eyes and brows) or a bright red lipstick (it feels like you can get away with less makeup elsewhere!).
I’d go with mascara too!
One question concerning tinted moisturizer: I had the MAC one and I always had the problem that it streaked on me if it was a little warmer and I did sweat a bit. It was kind of running away… Also when I used powder on top 🙁 Do you have any suggestions of which tinted moisturizer to use and how to prevent streaking?
brow powder… I can do with no concealer and no mascara, but my eyebrows are very sparse towards the ends and when I fill them in they frame my face better. It makes all the difference 🙂
Lipstick, so I don’t look anaemic
if i was already made up i would just take a lipstick to top up, but if i had to go out barefaced then i would just take a bronzer that included a brush.
eyebrow powder。。。 i have no brows。。。 i’m asian ：）
Definitely a lipgloss. Perhaps MAC Enchantress <3
I’d bring a highlighter – I always look dull without it even with tinted moisturiser or foundation. I’d really miss my concealer and mascara though.
My hourglass primer..helps redness, blotches, and keps oil at bay for me!
definitely brow pencil. Biggest problem on my face too!!
I’m splitting hairs here because it does say “make up product” and I’d class tinted moisturizer and even tinted lip balm as “skin care”, so those would not count, IMO, as “makeup”. So I’d probably choose blush or even lipstick (which I could use as blush in a pinch!) because I am so pale!
A tinted lipbalm or lipstick. I feel naked otherwise 🙂
I would go with a nice red lipstick!
…or, having thought about this a while longer, I might actually opt to STAY HOME if this was the condition of travelling (or maybe I’d shop for some makeup when I got to the destination!!!!) This question has made me realize just how many products I rely on every day just for a basic look to be presentable when I leave the house! Oh, the joys of aging!
If it truly can only be one item then I’d say a concealer w/good coverage. If I can bring two, then it’d be Laura Geller Balance n Brighten and a retractable kabuki.
My bronzer from Edward Bess.
My BB cream 😀
This is a tough one…tinted moisturizer with SPF in it or mascara…
Origins Vitazing! It’s all I need!
Have you tried it Christine. I’m a tinted mositurizee girl like you and once I tried it it’s all I use now! I think you would like it.
Concealer hands down, but my chapped lips without lip balm might negate my concealer-aided face.
Probably a tube of red lipstick. I’ve been loving the sort of ‘post-modern’ clean face with dark lips look lately!
If skin lotions are not included, then I’d have to bring an SPF tinted moisturizer (and maybe get away with it to cover dark circles!) – Khiel’s or Laura Merc.
If regular lotions are allowed, then just an under-eye concealer.
Only one? I wouldn’t travel!
It would have to be tinted mositurizer
I usually bring my Bare Minerals Matte Foundation. It doubles as a concealer too. And if that is the only thing I can bring I would stop at a drugstore to get some lippie & eye product (he he he).
my concealer of course…..!!!
My Kohlstick! It makes my eyes look awake haha
Tinted Moisturizer
eyeliner 🙂 a defined eyes and plus so versatile to use
it’s hard but mascara!! i look and feel so drab without it. My eyes blend with the rest of my face.
I’d have to say lip balm to keep my lips from drying out. 🙂
well, I have two, one face, and one eye. Obviously the face one wouldn’t be necessary if I had clear skin, it depends on when it would be… but yeah, concealer ad mascara, NO QUESTION!!!!!
do tweezers count as a make-up product? if not, then lipstick.
lipgloss
Blush
tinted moisturizer with spf here as well, i need it!
I am with the eyebrow folks! Gotta have my brow product. I have such pale hair and invisible brows (and lashes for that matter). If I don’t have a brow product on, I look really sick and ready for the hospital! Pale face, really blond hair. If I had a 2nd choice it would be tinted moisturizer with spf in it (I know..all the dermatologists out there are saying #2 should be #1, and actually it is in there – I never go out without those 2 things on – often because I am not all that vane, I am fine just with those 2 things on to run out on errands).
I like the lip balm response as well too. I am never without balm on my lips in the house or out (though sometimes when out it’s a tinted balm AND gloss as well). My lips are the driest thing on my face it seems. I am in love with Fresh Sugar’s lip treatment – but ugh – the $$$$. I order my fav ‘other’ balm from drugstore.com in bulk – Blistex Herbal – only place I can find that ‘flavor.’
definitely my MAC pro longwear concealer! it’s amazing.
Lip mositurizer nothing too sticky just very moisturizing like Palmers cocoa butter moisturizer. Can serve as a cuticle softener, eye cream and lotion in a pinch.
My complexion COMPLETELY CHANGED (for the better) when I started wearing Neutrogena Healthy Defense daily moisturizer SPF 50 (sensitive skin).
Lipstick
My Hello Kitty Cherry Lip Balm
Definitely would be lipstick, because it can be wear as a blush, lipstick and shadow.
face cream
Now that I’ve found my HG eye cream, I could possibly do without concealer (I’d be cranky about it the whole time, though) and go for mascara. Even though my eyelashes are the darkest black they can be, they are so straight and impossible to curl that in order for me to look like I have eyelashes at all I have to pile on mascara. Otherwise, I look odd and it’s like something is wrong with my face but you can’t figure out what. haha
Concealer is a must for me!
Foundation or tinted moisturizer…then I would cheat and buy some cheap drugstore lip balm cuz it drives me insane to have bare lips!
My mineral foundation. It just makes me look so perfect. I’d rather look like I wasn’t trying to look good and just had perfect skin then look like I was only trying to make 1 thing stand out I.e. Eyelashes with mascara.
MUFE Flash Palette.
Because its brow color, eye color, foundation, concealor, contouring, everything.
although, my eyelids are NASTY oily. so idk what i would do to fix that… =/
I was about to say eyebrow filler (I use a MAC E/S), however, I just realized that my full bangs cover my eyebrows so it’s not a necessity! If I could bring only ONE I would pack MAC Select Cover Up because it’s super small packaging with a super lightweight wear that I can use alone or mixed in with my moisturizer!
lip gloss all the wayyyyy
Definatly mascara!!
this is an easy one; mascara 🙂 if i don’t have a mascara on i look asleep sometimes people think i am sick
Mascara!
Concealer!
Foundation!
My mac studio fix fluid!
It would be a debate between Mascara and Blush. They both make me look alive… Mascara though would probably win c:
OK, I am going to be totally honest, if I could only bring one product when traveling – I would stay home and I am serious for what is purpose looking really bad while traveling? 🙂
Lipgloss
Even though it is hard
🙁
I would pick a foundation because I have very uneven skintone.
Mascara all the way!
This is a tough one, but I’d have to say mascara. My skin is generally pretty good, with the exception of a few darker spots from past breakouts. I’d be fine with going out with nothing on my face if I had to. But mascara just makes me look so much more awake and polished.
