Packing for the holiday is something that gives me more anxiety than actually planning and paying for one. Although oddly enough, it’s not the actual task of packing but more so what to pack that makes me go crazy. Clothes are the easy part—Bali? Bikini shorts and swimsuits. Paris? Lots of stripes and chic coats. See? Simple right? But what about the beauty products, more specifically makeup products—because I’m sure as hell not going to be allowed to check-in my entire vanity on the flight!

Since I’m an eye-makeup girl more than the lips, choosing between eyeshadow palettes, eyeliners and mascaras are the most difficult task! And while makeup palettes (’cause of their size) are harder to pack, I’ve narrowed down to a few I rely on whenever I’m packing for a trip. From these 7 palettes, you’ll have a great mix of neutral and warm-toned colours, and sparkly and shimmery shades as these are some of the best eyeshadow palettes for travelling!
