The Beauty Products That Earn a Spot in My Suitcase Every Time I Travel


After years of traveling and countless overpacked makeup bags, I’ve finally figured out what actually earns a spot in my carry-on. At 40, I’ve learned that less really is more when it comes to travel beauty. These are the makeup essentials I reach for on almost every trip because they’re easy to use, versatile, and help me feel put together without packing my entire vanity. Think a good cheek and lip tint, a little bronzer, and a few easy staples that work for just about any occasion. (This list is makeup only; skincare deserves its own post!)
