mac orb (highlight), satin taupe (for day), electra & black tied/carbon for evening.
Urban Decay AC/DC, Baked, Last Call, Nylon.
Chanel Mystic Eyes Quad-DONE!
I usually skip eyeshadow on trips. If I had to choose some, I’d go with Linnaeus’s Those Gams, MAC Smut, MAC Carbon and MAC Naked Lunch.
Hard to say, even though it doesn’t really add up to 4 I’d take a couple Wet ‘n’ Wild Coloricon trios.
Macs club, amber lights, hush Cbb & orb that’s today ask me tomorrow and it will be different haha
Christine what Mac would you bring???
Wet n Wild Night Elf palette — there are 6 shadows, but I’d use it for the shimmery white, antique gold, burgundy teal duochrome, and glittery black 🙂
CONGRATULATIONS ON GRADUATING!!!!!!! You are such an inspiration to me. You’re so awesome!!!!
the sparkly black half of hourglass prism, sugarpill dollipop (for my brows), benefit nice melons and some sort of icy white highlight (lime crime top hattie most probably!)
Would the Naked palette count? 🙂
Wet N Wild’s Penny, Sugarpill’s Love+, MAC’s Electric Coral, and L’Oreal HIP’s Saucy duo (not cheating – it’s depotted so I’d just take the orange shade, ha).
MAC carbon of course… MAC Shroom… MAC Espresso… MAC Stars’N Rockets… one for liner one for high light one for my eye brows and a fun color for who knows…
I reckon I’ll cut off the bottom half of the UD Show Pony palette (Painkiller, Smog and Toasted), and throw in MAC Shroom for my four.
But I’d rather not cut it, so I’m breaking the rules and taking the whole thing. Nyah!
Can I just cheat and bring a Dior eyeshadow quint? It’s just one more! Haha. Anyways, I’d bring the Dior quint in Messai Beige, which is one of my favorite quints. If that’s not allowed, then… a MAC quad with Mulch, Satin Taupe, All That Glitters, and Naked Lunch.
It would really depend on what outfits I’d be wearing, but the last time I went away for the weekend, I took my MAC Neutral Trip palette that has Girlie, Sunday Best & Agate w/ Shy Beauty Powder. I also put together a quad that I really like and intend to take on trips that has Vanilla, Arena, Espresso & Brown Down. That’s an ideal neutral palette for me.
MAC Honeylust, MAC Sable, MAC juxt and MAC Folie
MAC Woodwinked, Antiqued, Shroom and Mulch in a 4 pan Palette.
Mac Vanilla, Cork, Glamour Check!, Soft Brown. For a soft yet sultry look.
MAC Amber Lights, MAC Vanilla, MAC Texture, MAC Smut
EL honey Drop
WnW Nutty
TF Glamazon
TF Stiletto
MAC This & That, MAC Devil May Care, MAC Hepcat, MAC Parfait Amour
I just came back from a trip to Morocco and all I ended up using out of the eyeshadows I brought with me was Urban Decay’s Sin shadow pencil. Perfect, easy, and didn’t budge at all in the heat! Next time that’s all I’m taking!
Mac ricepaper
Laura mercier whiskey
Bobbi brown bone
benefit dandy brandy
I love single shadows probably more than palettes even though it’s less of a good deal, I’m getting colors I want for sure not half of the colors I want:)
MAC Sable, Ricepaper, Goldmine and Bronze OR Freshwater, Contrast, Ricepaper and Dark Soul pigment. 🙂
I would bring Patina, Satin Taupe, Handwritten and Woodwinked 🙂
The Smoking Eyes Quad from the Smoke Signals Collection!
MAC Charcoal Brown (brows)
MAC Soft Brown (transition color)
MAC Carbon (to do smokey looks and for eyeliner–makes a nice cat eye)
MAC All That Glitters (lid)
Mac Shroom and Haux for sure, and the other two would be Electra and Typographic. To darken things up.
I have a customized 4-pan palette from mac with naked lunch, mythology, tilt and mulch. I always take that with me when I go on a trip!
Brule, carbon, charcoal brown and bronze (All mac shadows)
Either the mac champale quad or mac stars and rockets, beautiful iris, parfait amour and blue noir
wow, this is a hard one… I’d bring mac blanc type (highlight), mac malt (transition), mac all that glitters (inner lid) and urban decay hustle (outer lid or crease). But I have all my eyeshadows depotted (including my urban decay palettes) and instead of 4-piece palettes, I have a unii palette, which is great for traveling and carries more eyehadows 🙂 I love it!
MAC all that glitters,sumptuous olive, sable and trax
are you going to review the D&G Italian Summer Collection? that quad is gorgeous.
I would either grab my Bobbi Brown palette which is filled with neutrals or my Hollywood Too Faced Palette.
Ummm, the last time I went out of time it was for the air force so I had to keep it simple. I brought (all mac) satin taupe, handwritten, brown script and sable. Those are a good set of neutrals for me
Hmmmmm…Dalliance and Odalisque(MAC Mega Metals), Kitten heel (Lancome),Gift o Glamour (MAC pigment, Tartan Tale)
MAC Vex, MAC sumptuous olive, NARS mangrove, Inglot black
MAC Ricepaper, MAC Unflappable, MAC Nylon, the taupe/gold shade from the L’oreal HIP Electrified duo (I have all of them depotted in a UNII palette) 🙂
Just my Kat Von D – Ludwig palette. (i guess those aren’t individual eyeshadows… CHEATING!!) 😛
Hmmm- Mac jest, its a beautiful subtle neutral, sephora aspen summit, idk why its just one i use a lot. A gilly hicks eye quad which despite being four, im going to count as one because theyre so amazing. ive truly fallen in love with their beauty line and mac prussian because its so dark and makes my blue eyes pop with out being black and scary
mac jest- a great go to neutral, sephora aspen summit because i just seem to wear it alot. a gilly hicks eye quad, probably the pink one. ive fallen in love ith their beauty line, its amazing quality and is something of their best kept secret imo and mac prussian, its a great dark eyeshadow on my pale skin without being black and scary
I’d bring Revlon Vintage Lace, CoverGirl Coffee Shop (it’s a quad but I’m counting it as one eyeshadow), Urban Decay Scratch, and NYX Red Bean Pie for any trip lasting less than a week.

I wouldn’t bring four I’d just pack the Naked palette and call it a day.
TheBalm’s Insane Jane and then MAC’s Mulch, Grand Entrance and Typographic.
don’t wear eyeshadow.
MAC Unflappable and Centre Stage (both Mega Metal shadows), MAC Saffron to use as a blush, and I guess MAC Carbon.
I’m SO sorry I didn’t get Unflappable. I have Centre Stage and it’s probably my favourite brown eyeshadow; I also got Ego and Dalliance but I really regret not getting Unflappable!

1) Sisley’s Toffee
2) Sisley’s Dune
3&4) Estee Lauder’s duo Pink dusk
I can match pretty much anything with a combination of these!
I almost always take my Painterly paint pot cause it goes with everything. Otherwise, it usually depends on if I’m doing a costume or not…yes, while traveling. :p

Buxom cream shadow Poodle, Nars Voyage, Laura Mercier Buttercreme, and Bobbi Brown Naked:)
Urban Decay Toasted, MAC Jest, MAC White Frost or Urban Decay Sin (highlighter), Lorac Serenity

I could do a variety of looks, like a simple everyday look with brule on the lid/browbone and either bronze or espresso in the crease. Then at night, I could do a golden bronze smokey eye 🙂
I’d probably bring along a fun blue colored eyeliner for the lower lashline to add a pop of color to my more simple looks.
