<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nTraveling with makeup is particularly challenging, especially with TSA\u2019s rules on liquid sizes and the propensity for your most prized products to break or leak. You\u2019ve also got to think about things like climate variation and how your skin might react while also trying to keep your regimen somewhat normal so your skin doesn\u2019t freak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With practice and planning, though, you can get really good at editing down all your beauty essentials without over or under-packing. To help you cover all the bases when it comes to traveling with makeup, we asked experts to share their best tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Experts share how to pack a beauty kit that covers all the bases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First thing\u2019s first: You\u2019ve got to have a great place to store your beauty loot when traveling with makeup. Look for a bag that\u2019s big enough to house all your essentials, is leak-proof, keeps you organized, and is easy to clean, advises Sydney Morgan, beauty guru and content creator. The Calpak Medium Clear Cosmetics Case ($85; Calpak) is a great pick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Makeup brushes are an investment, so it only makes sense to look after them well. \u201cI keep my tools in a dedicated case,\u201d notes Jenny Patinkin, professional makeup artist and founder of Jenny Patinkin Eco-Luxe Beauty Tools. This helps protect the bristles and keeps things more sanitary, too. To save even more space, choose a makeup bag that has a compartment you can dedicate specifically to tools and brushes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lost luggage happens every once in a while, so travel with confidence by having a cosmetic backup plan, says Brittany Lo, a professional makeup artist and founder of Beia. She says, \u201cAlways keep two to three essentials with you in your purse, just in case your luggage doesn\u2019t make it or in case you need to reapply before you get the chance to unpack.\u201d For example, a lightweight BB cream or foundation, cream blush, and mascara. When in doubt, identify your \u201cdesert island\u201d essentials and pack those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Saving space is a must when traveling with makeup, so take advantage of multitasking products. \u201cI do like to streamline when I travel,\u201d notes Patinkin. \u201c[For example], Packing a bronzer that can double as contour, a buildable cheek color, and a buildable foundation for simple daytime application or more dramatic evening looks, one four-pan eyeshadow palette that can be used a lot of different ways, and keeping as few brushes with me as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s tempting to pack all those tiny, travel products since they\u2019re conveniently sized, but switching up your beauty routine too much isn\u2019t ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYour body likes consistency,\u201d notes Matthew Waitesmith, a professional makeup artist with Artis. \u201cIf you mostly maintain your same makeup routine while traveling, your body will be less likely to overreact to all the environmental changes involved with travel.\u201d Not to mention, a chill vacation isn\u2019t necessarily a great time to experiment with a tricky new felt liner or foundation formula. You want reliability and ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether you\u2019re checking a bag or sticking to a carry-on, it\u2019s wise to consolidate your products to save space and minimize the potential for messes. If any of your liquid products are over 3.4 ounces\u2014the TSA cutoff size\u2014decant them in a travel-size container. Alternatively, buy the travel-sized versions of your faves, Lo suggests. When you run out of the travel-size product, you can refill the packaging with your full-size product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The pain of seeing your favorite powder products broken is real. Avoid the distress by packing delicate items very well. You can do so with a fine bubble wrap (avoid anything too bulky). It also helps to \u201csandwich\u201d your makeup bag, says Morgan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPut your makeup bag in the middle of your suitcase with clothes surrounding it,\u201d she says. \u201cThis sounds super funny, but it is the best way to keep things from shifting around and breaking. I typically like to put it in the middle with clothes underneath and on all sides. This has helped to avoid breakage.\u201d For liquid products, go the extra mile by placing them in a plastic bag and\/or taping around the seal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While you don\u2019t want to completely switch up your makeup routine, do take the climate into account. For example, if you\u2019re heading somewhere really humid or plan to splash around in the ocean, swap in some waterproof makeup. Or if it\u2019s going to be dry or hot, pack a face mist that helps set your makeup and keep your skin looking dewy all day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Along with your go-to makeup and skincare products, Waitesmith recommends packing a few makeup items that you associate with special occasions, such as a bold lipstick color or a pretty eyeshadow quad. He says, \u201cYou may want to be a bit more extravagant with your makeup colors or intensity to celebrate the special environment\u2014like for a candlelight dinner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/milanfashion91.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-46.png\")
