Celina, based in Melbourne Australia is an aspiring artist. With a passion for expressing herself through makeup, beauty, fashion, cosplay & photography, she believes in living life as creatively as possible.
The nature of my work means I’m never in one place for very long, I haven’t had an actual desk for my entire full time working life and I’m only situated in one location for more than a few weeks or months at a time, maybe even shorter.
Most of the time this is just moving around within the same city to different locations, though lately there seems to be a bit of a change in the air with the need to go interstate and potentially overseas. I had a bit of a spurt of travel lately and thought I’d share my ideas behind packing fast and packing light. Often when I’m required to relocate, I’m given at most a few days notice.
So here are some of my tips 
- Simplify, especially if you’re only going for a few days, ditch the eye creams and stick with one day time moisturiser with SPF and one night time moisturiser.
- Try to get makeup wipes that work as a cleanser / exfoliator / toner, they work amazingly well at cleaning makeup brushes too!
- Be realistic about what makeup you need, on a good day I’ll only use at most a couple of eye shadows, 1 liner, 1 mascara, 1 blush and maybe a tinted moisturiser / BB cream.
- Limit the product numbers by only allowing yourself one makeup / skin care bag, if it doesn’t fit, it doesn’t go with you.
- Learn to use your fingers to apply makeup, I had to apply all my makeup using just my fingers once for a photo shoot with The Age because I stupidly forgot my brushes, but it turned out well in the end and I learnt to apply my makeup much faster! Just make sure your hands are clean!
Or better yet, don’t bring any makeup! 
Like me below, makeup free and a tad camera shy lol. Hope you found my tips useful, would love to hear your tips if you have any
