GRWM to pack my makeup bag for a trip as a 12-year-old girl…

Packing a makeup bag for a trip when you're 12 can be both fun and a bit challenging, especially if you're learning to balance skincare and light makeup for the first time. I always start with cleansing products because they’re important to keep skin healthy. For me, gentle makeup cleansing remover towels are a lifesaver—these little towels are super easy to use and work well to gently wipe away makeup without irritating young skin. Next, I like using a refreshing cleanser—something mild and hydrating helps me feel clean and ready for the day or night. I also bring a barrier restore cream to keep my skin moisturized and protected during different weather or travel changes. When it comes to makeup, I don’t go heavy. A lightweight tinted product like the Rare Beauty items from Tower 28 helps me feel special without feeling like I’m wearing a lot. Additionally, I love carrying a small lip gloss, like the Laneige rose K-pop gloss, for a nice touch of color that’s subtle and fun. For nails, since I prefer DIY, I pack a quick-dry nail glue and keep my nails looking neat and cute. It’s satisfying doing it myself, and it adds a little extra to my look. Overall, packing smart means choosing products that are gentle, multitask, and fit easily into my travel bag. Keeping my routine simple makes the trip enjoyable while still feeling confident and fresh. Whether you’re just starting your makeup journey or packing for a short getaway, these essentials can make a big difference!
