Going on a trip? Don’t forget these travel essentials!

Ladies, summer isn’t over yet! Flaunt your beauty with a travel-friendly makeup kit to have the best vacay experience. Looking for something lightweight, space-saving that would fit in your bag? Well, we got you! Here are some must-have travel makeup products for you:

1. Pressed Powder/Powder Foundation

Being under the sun can make you sweaty! Make sure to choose a lightweight powder foundation or pressed powder to keep your face matte and sweat-free. Look for something with thin, sturdy packaging that comes with a mirror and a sponge in it. Very hassle-free!

2. Tinted Moisturizer/BB Cream

If you’re looking for something that’s hydrating and not too powdery nor matte, you can always go for a tinted moisturizer or BB cream. Since this product has a very limited shade range, be careful about picking the right shade for you. The good news is that it will last longer on your face, and will give you a fresh and flawless finish. So if you want makeup and skincare in one, then this is perfect for you!
