Tickets booked, itinerary planned, luggage filled with outfits – all that’s left to do is pack the necessary skincare and makeup products to make your vacation a 100%. Tip: Visualize your entire skincare, haircare, and makeup routine from start to finish. At a minimum, you’ll need products to moisturize and nourish your skin, protect your hair, and multi-functional makeup products to give your face a fresh, radiant complexion.
Travel cosmetic bags
First, decide which travel organizers are right for you. You may already have a handy makeup bag that can hold both your skincare and makeup. If you prefer to keep your products separate, then it's best to choose models with separate sections.
Facial care
Whether you're heading to the red carpet or a friendly gathering, experts unanimously stress the importance of prepping your skin, whether you're wearing makeup or not. The takeaway: Rely on formulas that are nourishing and hydrating, but lightweight in texture.
Mists
Facial mists can be used both to moisturize the skin before applying makeup and to fix it during the day. In any case, these refreshing sprays are always useful, including on the flight.
Hair care
No matter your hair type, tried-and-true products are essential to keep your hair looking its best while traveling. Make room in your makeup bag for both a conditioning shampoo and a heat-protective spray.
Brushes
You may not mind applying your makeup with your fingers, but if you prefer a more precise approach, be sure to bring along the brushes you rely on at home to perfect your look.
