The Travel-Ready Makeup Picks for Your Next Getaway

Whether you're jet-setting across the globe or embarking on a weekend getaway, having a travel-friendly makeup routine is key to looking fresh and fabulous on the go. When it comes to travel-ready makeup, it’s all about being prepared and making the most of multifunctional products. Remember to prioritize skincare, pack smart, and embrace simplicity to stay fresh and fabulous on the go.  Here are some of the best tips for creating a travel-ready makeup kit that will keep you looking your best no matter where your adventures take you.

Makeup & Skincare Must-Haves for Vacation

1. Multifunctional Products for The Win

Multifunctional products are a traveler's best friend. They save space in your makeup bag and streamline your routine. Think of products that can serve more than one purpose, such as a lip and cheek tint or a foundation with SPF.

2. Compact & Portable Packaging

When packing for a trip, every inch of space counts. Opt for products that come in compact packaging to maximize space in your makeup bag. 

  • Travel-Size Essentials: Look for mini versions of your favorite products or invest in travel-sized sets.
  • Cushion Foundations: These come in slim, portable compacts and often include a mirror and applicator.
  • Stick Products: Foundation sticks, contour sticks, and highlighter sticks are convenient and mess-free.

3. Simplify Your Routine

A simplified routine saves time and reduces stress. Focus on enhancing your natural beauty with a few key products rather than a full face of makeup. Instead of bringing every beauty product you need stick to:

  1. Base: Apply a tinted moisturizer or light foundation.
  2. Brows: Fill in your brows with a brow pencil or powder.
  3. Eyes: Use a neutral eyeshadow stick for a quick swipe of color.
  4. Cheeks and Lips: Use a dual-purpose lip and cheek tint.
  5. Finish: Set everything with a light dusting of translucent powder or a spritz of setting spray.

4. Always Put Skincare First

Healthy, cared for skin provides the best foundation for makeup. And prioritizing skincare ensures your makeup applies smoothly and looks better throughout the day. In addition to SPF before every outing, here are a few of our must-haves:

  • A Great Hydrating Serum: A travel-sized hydrating serum can keep your skin plump and fresh.
  • Sheet Masks: Have fun with it on the plane or when winding down at night. These are easy to pack and great for a quick hydration boost.
  • Travel-Friendly Cleansers: Consider packing cleansing wipes or solid cleansers that won't spill in your bag.
