We’ve all been there: you’re on a trip or at an important event, the inevitable happens and your makeup, hair, outfit or all of the above are ruined. What you need is a beauty emergency kit: an all inclusive contingency plan to combat every possible beauty crisis that may arise. When I’m going on an interview, a business trip, or performing the hellish duties of being a bridesmaid, I won’t be caught dead without one. Aside from the basic makeup you should already have with you, here are ten things your beauty emergency kit shouldn’t leave home without:
- Clear nail polish, aside from ending pantyhose runs, can stop nail polish chips from getting worse.
- Benzoyl peroxide cream can make pimples disappear in a matter of hours.
- Eye drops to fight off redness from stressful or tearful occasions.
- Travel-sized body splash can act as impromptu perfume, deodorant or to rid hair of smoke or sweat smells.
- Rembrandt Teeth Whitening Pen for on-the-go stain touch-ups.
- Miniature hairbrush: Wrap a couple of ponytail holders around the end for a quick updo.
- Preparation H really does work to eliminate eyebags – chalk one up to the beauty queens!
- Moist towelettes to clean up errant makeup, spills, and sweat (ew).
- Translucent powder will set any moisture and keep making from shifting.
- Q-tips!
YES! This list is so true and useful too, and I love that Q-tips post! Bookmarked and building my beauty emergency kit TONIGHT!! I wonder if makeup artists have these??
Kaya – I sure hope so! Thanks for stopping by 😉
