Summer and Fall are prime times for travel, but before hitting the beach, exploring new cultures, or just plain relaxing is the task of figuring out how to travel with less baggage. I used to be able to fit all my makeup in my purse – a pressed powder, lip gloss…and that’s pretty much it. But these days it’s hard to whittle down my choicest train case goodies into a small makeup bag.

There are a few things I cannot live without and will make room for, like my BE mineral foundation and makeup brushes. Lucky for us, there are tons of airplane-friendly makeup options even for carry-on bags. Sephora has a whole section on their website where they break it down and make it easy! So here are my top picks to stay pretty without totally roughing it.

The Total Package

Getting travel sets is a great way to try out new products that you have been curious about. Caudalie’s normally steep price is as compact as the diminutive versions of their popular products.

Travel-Size Makeup Brushes

MAC Colour Forms 5 Basic Brushes, $49.50

Makeup brushes are a must-have for your travel kit. After all, why be at the mercy of a little sponge applicator just because you’re traveling? Get a set with shorter handles but still has a full brush head, like this one by MAC.

Friends with Benefit

A Little Bit BADgal Lash Mascara, $9

Justine Case, $30

Is there a little bit of a bad gal in all of us? Perk up your peepers with Benefit’s cult fave BADgal. The compact tube packs the full fringe. And to round out the rest of your face, let your friend Justine Case revive your travel-worn complexion with skin boosters and that other cult fave Benetint.

Pocket Pretty

Too Faced Glamour to Go, $18.50
