Long Weekend- what brushes? Now, I know I can't be the only one who has the usual dilemmas of "i'm only going for a few days, but what If I want to do a smokey eye" or "what if I want to some detailed eyeliner" when packing for a long weekend. 

But, I have came to the conclusion that none of the above will ever happen. I won't be needing brushed for such occasions, because Im probably going to be throwing make up on my face thats basic and quick. So I have put together what I think are the main brushes you will need should you be whisked away for a long weekend this winter.



The first in my brush bag is for the face, i'll be packing away my trusty expert face brush, but you can always just drop your tools for this one and use your little fingers for your base. Cheeks, grab your favourite or most travel friendly brush, for me that is the Real Technique contour brush. It is perfect for blush whether it be cream or powder. 

For Bronzer, I don't tend to take my big powder brush as its too big and to be honest for a few days I can live with using a smaller one. So for me, its the MAC 129SE, which was part of as set and is a small travel size powder brush. 

 For the eyes, I recommend cream eye shadows for all over your lid like the Maybelline Colour Tattoo's or Barry M crayon pencils as they can be easily applied and you can smudge in with your fingers. I would take a crease brush, I'll be taking my MAC 226SE which came from the same set as my powder one, so it is a little smaller than average and great for throwing in your bag. This just gives your eye a little depth and you always have the option of going for some smokiness if the moment takes you! 

 A good brush for the lash line, top and bottom, is the Zoeva smudger brush. If you haven't already checked out Zoeva brushes then you really should they are great quality, and super reasonably priced. 

Those are 5 brushes that I think will get you through any long weekend…not to minimise everything else..? wish me luck!
