A Makeup Artist’s Travel Beauty Checklist

Packing for vacation is tough, but deciding which beauty products to take and how to store them? That’s even harder! We’ve already told you what to take on the plane, and we’re obsessed with makeup artist Lisa Eldridge’s adorable in-flight skin routine, but what should you pack for your trip away, and how should you store it?

So what else does a top makeup artist always carry in her suitcase? Here are her essentials for a well-packed trip.
