When it comes to traveling with makeup, multi-use products are the way to go. And since blush and bold lips are shaping up to be two of the biggest makeup trends of 2023, you can stay up-to-date while traveling with a multi-use lip and cheek rouge. Not only are cream rouges stunning, but they can be applied using just your fingers, which means you don’t have to worry about cleaning those travel makeup brushes you’ve been meaning to get to. 

SUBTL BEAUTY PROTIP: The Subtl Beauty Lip & Cheek Rouge is perfectly formulated to give both your lips and cheeks a healthy glow with just a few finger taps. It’s blendable for a subtle tint or buildable for a bold look. Plus, it’s formulated with jojoba seed oil, which is a good-for-you ingredient that’s a very potent moisturizer.

If you’re not sure what’s trending in 2023 or which Tik Tok hacks you should incorporate into your makeup arsenal to save time while traveling, try honing in on tutorials to learn more about applying and using makeup.

id="section5">How to Travel With Makeup Tip Number Four: Pack Your Own Travel-Sized Mirror

Have you ever left your house on an adventure to find that your hotel or hostel doesn’t have a mirror? Left wondering how in the world you’re going to apply your makeup since you didn’t pack a mirror, you probably vowed to never make the same mistake twice. By packing a travel-sized mirror, it’s a safe bet that you’ll be able to catch a glimpse of yourself every now and then. Plus, you’ll probably need it for retouching after hitting the trails and/or beach.

SUBTL BEAUTY PROTIP: The Subtl Beauty Travel Makeup Mirror is the perfect palm-sized mirror to take on any trip. It’s even cleverly designed to include two mirrors: One is regular, while the other is magnifying for close-up applications. It’s honestly a traveling life savior. 

id="section6">How to Travel With Makeup Tip Number Five: Consider Your Travel Destination and Grab a Translucent Powder

Are you visiting a beachy destination or a colder, tourist-loving locale? Either way – different travel spots present unique makeup needs. For example, your makeup needs on a hot day at Disney World will likely be different than if you’re scuttling around Iceland barhopping for a warm beverage. By using a program like More Cast, you can track the weather for the entirety of your trip (even the cities you drive and/or fly through!) to help you choose what makeup to pack.

However, no matter the weather, there is one traveling essential every makeup-lover needs in their carry-on: translucent powder. “Translucent powders are colorless and used to brighten, reduce shine, absorb oil, and extend the time of your makeup,” says celebrity makeup artist Robert Sesnek. “The best areas to apply a translucent powder are underneath the eyes, around the nose, and center of the chin.“

SUBTL BEAUTY PROTIP: Need a lightweight translucent powder to help tackle your upcoming vacation? The Subtl Beauty Translucent Pressed Powder helps protect your skin from the harmful effects of blue light, eliminates shine, and locks your makeup in place. It contains squalane, which is an excellent hydrating ingredient, along with Ectoin for pollution protection. Cheers to good ingredients and good travels!
