" Traveling is fun. Packing? Not so much. So to save you from bringing along every product in your makeup drawer, we caught up with makeup artist Troy Surratt to find out the best multi-use items, plus pretty cases to put them in. A great makeup case. &amp;quot;I recommend packing in something that becomes wide when you open it, so it&amp;#x27;s easy to find your products,&amp;quot; says Surratt. He likes LeSportsac cases because they&amp;#x27;re affordable, lightweight, and fit a lot. He also advises storing your makeup case in the fridge or cooler to keep cream-based products from sweating or melting. Blotting papers. When you&amp;#x27;re outside in humid weather, it&amp;#x27;s not hard to get greasy.

Water-resistant mascara. &amp;quot;During the summer, you want one that won&amp;#x27;t break down in humidity and heat, but still washes off pretty easily,&amp;quot; says Surratt. We&amp;#x27;re big fans of Lanc&amp;amp;ocirc;me D&amp;amp;eacute;finicils Waterproof Mascara. Nars The Multiple Makeup Stick.

Be sure to blend well on the cheeks, but leave it bright on the lips for a bold pop of color. Travel makeup brushes. &amp;quot;Kevyn Aucoin makes a great mini set,&amp;quot; says Surratt. &amp;quot;It&amp;#x27;s light, compact, and will fit into a weekender or duffle bag.&amp;quot; And you don&amp;#x27;t have to worry about ruining your really nice brushes by squeezing them into a case.
