While I'm on holiday, I like to change up my makeup a bit. I look for multi-purpose products to save on weight and I go for a generally lighter look. These are the makeup products I couldn't get enough of during my week in Marbella.
Base first; I used the Indeed Labs Hydraluron moisturiser every day, and primed my skin using the Illamasqua Matte Veil primer (review here). The Laura Mercier Mineral Powder Foundation is my go-to holiday base. It has pretty impressive coverage and it's so easy to apply and build as much as you want. I have a shade or two darker than usual; perfect for holiday.
I used The Body Shop Honey Bronzer on my cheek bones/temples to add a bit of dimension, then used the Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Colour in Lush Nectarine to put a bit of peachy colour on my cheeks. The hint of shimmer is perfect for the sunnier weather.
To avoid an overly powdery look, the Urban Decay De-Slick Setting Spray makes everything look a bit more skin-like and keeps my base in place in the warm weather.
The absolute saviour was the Urban Decay Naked Basics palette; AKA the ultimate multi-tasker. Virgin is the perfect highlighter, Foxy evens out redness (sunburn, oops), Naked is a neutral eye shadow, Faint is ideal in the crease and in my brows and Crave is a gorgeous liner. I used it every day without fail!
After running a bit of faint through my brows I used Benefit Gimme Brow (review here) to keep them in place, or I sometimes skipped the powder and just used this for a more natural look. My mascara of choice was YSL Baby Doll - it separates and lengthens my lashes and it doesn't smudge or flake in the heat. Lastly NARS Matte Lip Pencil in Red Square (review here) is such a gorgeous bright orangey red; the perfect holiday shade.
Oily skinned girls can spend next-to-no time in a hot country without a powder. I went for this mini Make Up Forever HD Powder which I picked up from Sephora (haul on the way) which was perfect for keeping my skin shine-free.
What are your favourite holiday makeup products?
I love the MUFE HD powder. So good.

I love most of the products that you mentioned in this post! Finding multi-tasking products for when you go on holiday is key - the more it does the better :)

I've been looking at purchasing the urban decay setting spray for holidays because there is nothing worse than your makeup sliding off! xx

Especially in hot weather, my makeup lasts such a short amount of time in the heat!

I plan my makeup bag thoroughly before going on holiday, pack it all nicely and then... wear none of it whilst there, ha! My makeup never looks nice on holiday, as I get awfully pink due to being so pale! This is a lovely selection xx

I adore the Nars matte lip pencils. I use "Bolero" and it's perfect!

This is the only shade I've tried, but I'll definitely keep an eye out for Bolero!

I love the HD powder! It's fab and so similar to the MAC prep and prime powder that has always been a favourite of mine.
