Here are our top 5 makeup travW4CC4el tips <\/strong>to ensure you show up prepared for whatever the competition season brings\u2026<\/p>\n

#1. Print off a beauty packing list (or download one from LOVER\u00ae Cosmetics<\/a>).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nothing replaces an old-fashioned checklist. We\u2019re not talking on your phone or computer, but a printed<\/strong> checklist that you can actually check off and jot down what you need.<\/p>\n

A great start is this beauty packing list from LOVER\u00ae Cosmetics<\/a>. We\u2019ve organized this checklist according to our five steps, skincare, tools and a space to add extras (think about adding hairnets, bun makers, glitter, hairpieces, and any routine-specific items you may need!)<\/p>\n

A good exercise as you start packing is to jot down each dance\/performance you are doing. Then, under each, list the specifics you need to achieve the onstage look you want.<\/p>\n

#2. Start a note on your phone.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re like me\u2026my brain is constantly going. As I was packing for LOVER\u00ae\u2019s NYC trip to this year\u2019s Macy\u2019s Thanksgiving Day Parade, I wanted to ensure I didn\u2019t miss a makeup beat! (We are the makeup provider for Spirit of America\u2019s 1,400+ dancers and cheerleaders in the parade each year.)<\/p>\n

A few weeks before departure, I started a note on my iPhone to capture instantly as it appeared in my brain, what I needed to pack for the parade. While I was in the car, at my studio, in the pick-up line\u2026I just added to that list as the thoughts popped in my head.<\/p>\n

The result: I felt prepared and ready when it was time to board the plane. For all you dancers, break this checklist out by each performance and costume requirement.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t stop there. When you are at competition, backstage and on the way home, add to your notes. Those moments of \u201cI wish I would have packed extra hairnets\u201d can be added instantly to that note for the next competition.<\/p>\n

THEN\u2026print this out so you can check it off for the next competition.<\/p>\n

#3. Carry-on is key.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are so many beautiful makeup bags out there, but are they functional?<\/p>\n

What makes a makeup bag functional? My recent favorites are The Beauty Bag by Glossier<\/a> and Parallelle<\/a>. Both have the same feature \u2013 LOTS of inside pockets that tightly hold your serums, lotions, etc., upright<\/u><\/em><\/strong>. You don\u2019t have to worry as much about spillage and breakage. And everything has its own spot in these organize-able bags!<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget that makeup is delicate and breakable. Pack it in bubble wrap sleeves for some extra protection in your makeup bag. And we go a step further when we ship our team makeup palettes and lay a slim foam insert inside, on top of the shadows and blush. This keeps your shadows tightly held during travel.<\/p>\n

If you MUST check your makeup bag, make sure you have it well padded in a puffy hoodie or some padded clothing. And if you can \u2013 keep it with you in your carryon!  <\/p>\n

#4. Travel-friendly sizes<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure you all know how many pumps of your SPF you use in the morning or evening lotion you apply before bed.<\/p>\n

Me? I use exactly two pumps of my morning SPF \u2013 so when I travel for a week \u2013 I pump 14 pumps into a travel-sized, disposable container, label it and toss it before returning home.<\/p>\n

Less IS more and a light bag = a happy traveler!<\/p>\n

We love these disposable containers on amazon<\/a>\u2026or invest in a quality set like these Cadence travel containers<\/a> \u2013 love!<\/p>\n

#5. Keep it clean and put your feet up.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The beauty of a hotel room is that you don\u2019t look around and see all the tasks around the house waiting for you.<\/p>\n

This allows for some \u201cclean-time\u201d and \u201cme-time\u201d!<\/p>\n

What do we mean by that \u2013 WASH THOSE MAKEUP BRUSHES! Our when-to-toss <\/em>guide and brush-cleaning <\/em>guide below is a great tool to keep your makeup bag clean. And for on-the-go cleaning, this Cinema Secrets brush cleaner<\/a> is the perfect solution. It instantly cleans brushes, and they dry incredibly fast!<\/p>\n

\n

Then go put your feet up, put on a face mask or under eye mask, call room service and turn on your favorite movie.<\/p>\n

Break a leg, dancers \u2013 you\u2019re all set for a beautiful<\/em> comp season!<\/p>\n
