Whenever I go on holiday it’s a must for me to take an in flight make up bag- short or long haul. I use this to hold on very few but essential items to wake me up and give me a healthy glow for when I step off the plane. This is usually a problem for me as I tend to have very early morning flights where I wake up at 4-5am so to stop myself from looking like a zombie I make sure I always pack one.
I always include:
- Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer
- Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder (transparent)
- Real Techniques power brush
- Eos lip salve
- Nivea Pearly Shine
- Hairbrush (mine is from Forever 21)
- Hand or body lotion
For long haul flights I add:
- Pro-radiance moisturiser (mine is from Elemis)
- Face exfoliator
These are all optional, however I choose this combination as they give me an instant lift and gives me more colour to my face (as well as hiding those zombie under eye circles) whilst all being in the limit of 100ml. As airports are very strict I tend to put everything into my own plastic zip lock before I go to make sure it all fits- I always have nightmares of them pulling me aside and confiscate things from me- so everything goes smoothly. I have two lipsalves as I like the choice and will usually slap on some pearly shine before exiting to compliment the new-found healthy glow I have given myself.

These are other in flight essentials you may want, especially for long haul. The masks are great for relaxing and getting some moisture into your face, especially at such high altitudes in an aeroplane as that can leave your face very dry and tight sometimes.
