A shallow but important question

Should I purchase duplicates of the 4 MAC shadows* I use the most and build a palette for traveling? So that I don't need to worry about shuffling it from one makeup bag to the other?

On the one hand, I AM doing a lot of traveling in the near future.

On the other hand, do I NEED duplicates of 4 eye shadows? Even if I wear them almost every day?

Dear LJ Hivemind, please give me advice!




*Mylar, Sketch, Sweet Lust, and Forgery. None of them limited edition colors, thank goodness.

I wouldn't. You're not going to buy a travel set of every single thing you might bring with you, so you'll always need to pack before a trip anyway, and eye shadows are easy enough to toss in a bag. If you really are traveling so frequently for a while that you need to keep basics packed all the time, then get in the habit of keeping your travel makeup bag on your vanity table and use it that way to keep it together.
