Besides the hours you’ll spend on your flight or road trip, another stressful yet exciting task about traveling is packing for your trip. This involves choosing the clothes, shoes, bags, and makeup products you’ll wear throughout the days you’ll be at your destination. Speaking of makeup, do you plan to carry all your cosmetic products on your trip? If they aren’t many, that’s fine.

Not everyone woman wears makeup. But some can’t live without it especially when it comes to gracing important occasions or traveling. If you’re one of them, you need at least one travel makeup essential to prep your face up for every time you’ll be stepping out.

Here are the best of them:

Makeup Organizer

First, you need to decide on the type of travel makeup organizer you’ll use to pack your products. For instance, you can use a travel bag that fits your skincare and makeup products. You can also opt to pack them separately into different bags or use a compartment bag for your makeup necessities.

A compartment box also works. But it might become more luggage for you when traveling. It’s just best you use a bag instead.

Makeup Tools

Your brushes and makeup sponge are also travel makeup essentials. Don’t forget them as you pack for your trip otherwise, you’ll be forced to apply your product with your bare hands.

To save space, pack a dual-ended brush that comes as two brushes in one. And go with at least one sponge to blend your liquid, powder, and cream products.

Lip Products

Writing has always been a part of me. From writing stories as a young child to studying Communication Arts in the university, it has always been more than a medium of expression to me.

And then one day, I found myself toeing the path of an entrepreneur and becoming a fashion enthusiast. This made me develop an interest in content marketing and copywriting which I've been chasing alongside my fashion career.

That aside, when I'm not sharing style articles, selling with stories, or creating fashion-forward pieces for Ria Kosher, you'll find me telling wild stories that always come with a twist.
