All about the portable
Daniela, a reader and self-proclaimed low-maintenance chick, keeps her makeup in two portable bags rather than a permanent drawer. (Which might make you wonder if she’s, like, in the witness protection program and could jet at any time … but that’s another story altogether.) “In my smaller makeup case, I always carry waterproof eyeliner and mascara, blush, chapstick and lipstick,” she says. And if you travel a lot, it might be a good idea to keep the product’s original packaging (instead of throwing it away like most women do) — this includes the rubber tube your tweezers came in and the plexiglass bin your eyeliner collection was sold with.
