The best all in one make-up palettes for travel are the Pixi Beauty Eye Effects palettes and the Nuance Quartette palettes.
Which criteria should all in one make-up palettes possess to be considered the best for travel?
When it comes to travelling and choosing what make-up to take with you, you may find this task overwhelming.
What can I take with me? What should I leave out? Omg I need it all!
When it comes to choosing the right all in one palettes to take with you travelling, you should consider:
1. A sturdy packaging and casing. Is the packaging sturdy enough to withstand the journey?
2. An incorporated mirror. This will help you avoid bringing other mirrors.
3. A Versatile palette colour story. What formulas are present on the palette? Is the palette most importantly versatile enough to create a multitude of looks.
4. An array of useful pigments that can be used on all the face rather than just the eyes.
What types of all in one travel palettes are available on the market?
The types of all in one palettes available on the market include palettes which contain every type of formula all in one, for example the most complete palette would include foundation, bronzer, blush, highlighter, eyeshadow and eyeliner.
In this day and age, the combination of make-up types within all in one palettes are endless.
Which are the most recommended all in one palettes for travelling?
The most recommended all in one palettes are the Pixi Beauty Nuance Quartette palettes and Eye Effects palettes combination.
I don’t recommend having your foundation within the palette only because if there is any fall out from the other powder formulas this can get into the foundation.
I prefer having the foundation all by itself and not part of the all in one palette suggestions.
