to add some fun to your routine with our mini travel makeup kit, let's explore some unconventional ways that you can use each product in the subtl beauty starter stak:
the highlighter in subtl’s mini travel makeup kit is a multi-use queen
the subtl beauty mini travel makeup kit includes our pressed-powder highlighter in the shade champagne. since highlighter is one of the most fun steps of any makeup routine, we made ours beginner-friendly and minimalist-approved. the subtl highlighter is versatile, perfect for highlighting and adding a shimmer to any eyeshadow look, and can be built up for the dewy cloud skin trend.
here are some creative ways you can use the highlighter in your makeup kit for travel:
- body shimmer: grab your stak brush bff and mini travel makeup kit, then swipe our highlighter onto your collarbones, shoulders, and legs for a glow.
- inner corner highlight: apply our highlighter to the inner corners of your eyes to brighten and awaken (this is the perfect refresh after a long flight).
- lip highlight: add highlighter to the center of your lips after applying our lip & cheek (more on this product below) to create the illusion of a fuller pout.
- hair highlights: run highlighter through your hair for a shimmer effect, especially on braids. this is a really cute idea for outdoor trips in the sun.
check out these rave reviews of our highlighter from happy subtl beauties:
- “these highlighters are really beautiful. it's a nice, finely milled, sheer highlight. not sparkly, but a nice shimmer.” - morgan
- “i have tried 100s of highlighters… from powders to creams to liquids, drug store to obscenely overpriced luxury designer brands. this is by far the best highlighter i’ve ever used! the iridescence and sheen are so beautiful, giving you the most perfectly natural lit-from-within glow.” - stephanie
- “i love this highlighter so much, i have it in both versions of the stak and it's not only a very complimentary color as a highlighter, but i use it for under my brow arches and the inner corners of my eyes, too.” - jen w.

the shine control pressed powder in subtl’s mini travel makeup kit is a versatile game-changer
did you know the shine control pressed powder is included in our mini travel makeup kit? it’s a game-changer that keeps oil at bay. unlike many other translucent powders, ours is lightweight, long-lasting, cake-free, and sets makeup in place. plus, it’s formulated with non-comedogenic squalane for hydration.
@subtlbeauty Did you know the stack is completely refillable - which is better for the environemnt and your wallet! 🤩 ##subtlstak##sustainablemakeup##makeupstack ♬ original sound - Subtl Beauty
here are some creative ways you can use the shine control pressed powder in your makeup kit for travel:
- eyelash primer: before mascara, dust our shine control pressed powder onto your lashes with a clean mascara wand. this plumps your lashes, providing a base for mascara to stick to, while also lengthening.
- oil control for hair: if you don't have any dry shampoo on hand while traveling, add some shine control pressed powder onto your roots. it will help absorb excess oil, giving your hair a just-washed appearance.
- eyebrow setter: to set your brows, use the dual-end eyeshadow brush to apply shine control pressed powder over your eyebrows after filling them in.
- nail polish matte topcoat: if you prefer a matte finish for your nails, dust subtl's shine control pressed powder over your freshly painted ones before they dry. this will give your nails a matte finish, minus the need for a topcoat.
- "this sheer, light powder does a great job of eliminating shine, and the best part? it doesn't break me out like other powders!" - noelle
- “a makeup routine that doesn’t leave my face itchy and my eyes watery. i love every product but the shine control pressed powder lends a very airbrushed look to the entire thing."- lauren j.
- “i am so happy with this shine control that i have it in both the original and new stak, along with an extra to carry in my purse. i am very oily, so it's great to have this to apply during the day.” - jen

the bronzer in subtl’s mini travel makeup kit is a jack-of-all-trades
when you order a mini travel makeup kit, we’ll choose the bronzer shade that compliments your cream concealer. our bronzer boasts an ultra-high concentration of pigment, so a little goes a long way. it comes in five shades to complement every skin tone and has a mica-based formula for a natural radiance.
here are some creative ways you can use the bronzer in your makeup kit for travel:
- bronze lip: mix bronzer with our clear lip balm to create a custom bronzed lip color. this adds warmth to your lips and complements a sun-kissed look.
- fake freckles: dip a brush into your mini travel makeup kit’s bronzer and dab it onto your nose and cheeks lightly for natural-looking faux freckles.
- hair root touch-up: use a bronzer shade that matches your hair color to temporarily cover up visible roots between salon appointments. Nifty, right?
- eyebrow definition: use a bronzer shade that matches your hair color to fill in and define your eyebrows for a polished, refined makeup look.
check out these rave reviews of our bronzer from happy subtl beauties:
- "this bronzer is amazing! it distributes and blends so well across my skin that it looks natural. no orangey undertones and it doesn't feel cakey." - kelly
- “i really love the color and formula of this bronzer." - ainsley s.
- “i’ve never tried bronzer before, but i'm loving this one.” - sidney p.

here are some creative ways you can use the lip & cheek in your makeup kit for travel:

- “the lip & cheeks are so creamy. i usually use terracotta tour guide and raspberry room service on my lips.” - shawn p.
- “as a makeup artist, i wanted to see if the lip & cheek can work for me and my coco brown skin tone. when i don’t want a full beat, i need something compact that i can carry around for touch ups if needed. it worked out; it really works! it’s natural, but my go-to look for every day.” - tracy w.

the concealer in subtl’s mini travel makeup kit has diverse uses
when you purchase one of our mini travel makeup kits, you can pick your cream concealer shade. transformative, versatile, and long-lasting, our concealer is lightweight and gives great coverage without caking. you can choose from nineteen shades, and if it’s not a match for your skin tone, we’ll replace it for free.
@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
here are some creative ways you can use the cream concealer in your makeup kit for travel:
- eyeshadow primer: use our velvety cream concealer as an eyeshadow primer to create a smooth base for your eyeshadow application.
- lip primer: add a thin layer of cream concealer to your lips before applying lip & cheek to create a neutral base and help its staying power.
- contouring: choose a cream concealer shade darker than your norm to contour your face, applying to the cheeks, jawline, and sides of your nose.
- brighten inner corners: apply a small amount of cream concealer to the inner corners of your eyes for a refreshed, brightened look.
- "i've never been a repeat customer of makeup before in my life, until now. i am a very on-the-go woman, and i would often skip a makeup routine due to feeling like i didn’t have time to put into it. having everything in one simple stak means i don’t lose track of makeup, and it doesn't take up tons of space." - tiffany
- “the color is spot on and the consistency is easy to blend. i’m almost 78 and wanted more natural coverage and a simpler routine. no amount of makeup is going to hide an aging face, but subtl has given me the tools to celebrate my years with grace. and it’s all in one small stak. ingenious!” - susan
- “i went on a 5-day girls trip for spring break and as far as makeup goes, i only brought the stak that I created! i loved it. everything lasted for hours.” - jessica k.
