best travel makeup kit trends: bare minimalism

remember back in 2023 when beauty lovers collectively switched out their heavy foundations for skin tints and concealers? we do! luckily for all the minimalist gals out there, this trend is here to stay, especially in 2024. if you’ve not kicked your foundation to the curb yet, let us persuade you with our travel makeup kit’s lightweight, high-coverage cream concealer:

@subtlbeauty Replying to @Dezeray Lewis we spent a LONG time working on this new formulation, using over 4 years of customer feedback to develop the perfect concealer! “Love this concealer! Great color match and texture, it didn't crease or anything all day!!! Love it for under my eyes!” -jennifer #thebestconcealer #creasefreeconcealer #cleanconcealer ♬ original sound - Subtl Beauty

if you’re not sure how to use the cream concealer in subtl’s best travel makeup kit, take these tips from mua courtney hart: “focus on the center of the face and blend outward. apply it to the under-eyes, around the nose, a tiny bit on the center of the forehead, and on the center of the chin.” then, grab your stak brush bff (the best travel blush brush) to buff it out.

best travel makeup kit trends: get blushed

we’ll be honest: our favorite layers in the best travel makeup kit by subtl beauty are the lip & cheek and powder blush. thankfully, blush is going to continue to slay the makeup game in 2024. an mua you may be familiar with, patrick ta, says, “it’s a youthful look that adds definition to the face because of how the blush sculps the cheekbones and other features.”

tasha reiko brown, a los angeles-based mua, recommends blending the edges of your blush out to create a softer gradient and more seamless look. to do this, grab the best travel blush brush and a lip & cheek or powder blush shade. add a few dots and use your stak brush bff to blend outwards until your blush looks natural, yet defined.

best travel makeup kit trends: a monochromatic mood

when it comes to subtl’s best travel makeup kit, you might’ve heard us talk about different tiktok trends like pumpkin spice and mocha makeup – all of which are monochromatic. brown says, “it's one mood with a subtle shift in tones between the lip and the face.” she thinks the popular trend will revive and elevate multi-use color products, like our eyeshadow duos.

@subtlbeauty Replying to @boucqie Let me introduce you to our powder products here at Subtl! We have 5 different powder products to choose from, all of which can be mixed and matched in your personal custom makeup stak! #subtl #subtlbeautystack #makeupstack #makeupstak #subtlstaks #stackablemakeup ♬ original sound - Subtl Beauty

for this 2024 makeup trend, you can set the best travel blush brush aside for the subtl dual-end eyeshadow brush. it features versatile, soft bristles for smooth application, but if you’re not much of a travel makeup brush gal, you can use your fingers. next, choose a lip & cheek shade that’s close to the same color as your eyeshadow duo to tie the look together.

best travel makeup kit trends: add a dash of color

while minimalism is in that doesn’t mean vibrant, self-expressive looks are out. on the spring 2024 runway, models donned a single pop of color with their makeup, proving that all you need is one hue to make a statement. to ensure there’s a subtl shade out there for everyone’s aesthetic and vibe, our travel makeup kits come in a variety of neutral and bold, moody colors.

if you’re concerned about where to add a dash of color to your makeup look, let’s go over the spring runway in more detail. max mara and helmut lang models walked with bare faces, except for a dash of color on their eyes or lips. max mara’s choice was a vampy cherry cola lip, which you can easily get with our travel makeup kit’s lip & cheek in raspberry room service.
