For many women (and men!), packing before a trip can be a stressful experience, especially when you have to leave behind your favorite skincare products and makeup due to the FAA’s 3-fluid oz. rule. Here are a few travel beauty tips to keep you looking your best and sticking to your beauty regimen while on the go.
No Product Left Behind
Don’t worry about leaving your favorite beauty products at home. Companies like Bobbi Brown and MAC Cosmetics now offer ‘empties’, small travel-size containers that comply with FAA guidelines. These containers let you bring all your skincare essentials, so you won’t have to skip a step in your routine while traveling.
Travel-Friendly Makeup
Your makeup doesn’t have to suffer just because you’re flying. Carry an all-in-one makeup palette for easy touch-ups during your flight. Many brands now sell combination palettes that contain tinted moisturizer (or foundation), bronzer, blush, mascara, and lip gloss all in one compact container. A great example is the Benefit Cabana Glama Palette, available for $36 at benefitcosmetics.com. Your makeup will look just as fresh after your flight as when you first applied it, allowing you to transition straight from the plane to exploring your destination.
Simple Hair for Travel
Don’t waste time styling your hair before your trip—by the time you arrive, it won’t look the same. Instead, take damp hair and loosely braid it. When you arrive at your destination, take the braid out to reveal natural, beachy waves. Set your hair with a bit of hairspray and a texturizing balm for a quick, effortless look that’s perfect for vacation.
Travel Smart, Look Great
With these easy tips, you can make your next trip more enjoyable and stress-free. Stay on top of your skin care and beauty routine without packing too much, and you’ll look and feel fabulous from takeoff to landing!
