Never travel again without your Travel beauty essentials
Table of Contents

Packing for a trip is hard enough, but packing makeup in a carry on for a flight can sometimes be harder. Above all, full-size beauty and skincare products take up a lot of room and can be a nightmare to pack. However, It can be done with my Ultimate Carry-On Packing list. Whether you’re jet setting to Florida for the weekend or the beaches of Bali you’ll be able to feel and look beautiful with minimal effort and minimal luggage. My best travel makeup list below is composed of day to night makeup for carry-on travel.
Can I bring makeup or powder makeup on a plane?
Yes! When packing makeup for traveling in flight, it’s essential you follow TSA liquids makeup guidelines below.
Liquids, gels, and aerosols packed in a carry on must follow the 3-1-1 liquids rule:
- 3.4 ounces or less per container
- One quart-sized clear plastic zip-top bag (all liquids must fit in the bag)
- One carry on bag per passenger
Here is my best travel makeup list!

Foundation
IT COSMETICS
CC+ Cream with SPF 50+ Mini
Full-coverage, color-correcting cream with anti-aging skincare and SPF 50+ sunscreen. A personal favorite of mine. Use this all over or build coverage over dark circles and blemishes. A little goes a long way with this product. ($15.50)

Concealer
NARS
Radiant Creamy Mini
This mini Nars concealer has buildable coverage, corrects, contours, highlights, and perfects. Dab some around your eyes, and you’ll be bright-eyed in no time. ($13.00)

Mascara
L’Oreal
Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara
One of my favorite budget-friendly mascaras. The brush thickens lashes evenly and smoothly without clumping. Therefore, eyelashes look long and full without smudging or sweating off. ($6.74)

Bronzer
TARTE
Park Ave Princess™ Waterproof Face & Body Bronzer
This bronzer Instantly evens the look of skin tone and delivers a natural-looking bronze. It covers and blurs the look of imperfections while giving a more toned-looking appearance and won’t melt off in the heat. ($34.00)

Eye Shadow
TARTE
Tartelette™ Tease
This palette comes with four everyday matte shadows and two luster shades. It refreshes, defines, and transitions your smoldering stare from day to play, effortlessly. ($19.00)

Lipstick with a Pop: CoverGirl
Lip Perfection Lipstick: Shade Hot 305
Add some pop to your photos and your nights out. I’ve been using this shade for YEARS. It’s genuinely the perfect red. Above all, the color is a true red, and it stays on for hours before you need to reapply. ($14.99)

Everyday Lipstick: CHARLOTTE TILBURY
Mini Pillow Talk Lipstick & Liner Set
If you’re looking for an everyday look, the Pillow Talk collection from CHARLOTTE TILBURY is perfect for you. Matte lipstick and liner with the ideal nude-blush shade. ($25.00)

Highlighter
CHARLOTTE TILBURY
Beauty Highlighter Wand
For a touch of shimmer without looking like a strobe light, the Highlighter Wand provides a subtle daytime shine. It comes with a cushion tip for application, meaning you can skip the beauty blender or brush. ($38.00)

Eyebrow Pencil
Sania’s Brow Bar
Angeled Mechanical Brow Pencil
Their uniquely angled applicator allows you to define brows with the precision of a pencil but the smoothness of powder for natural-looking brows. ($30.00)

Tweezers
TWEEZERMAN
Pink Perfection Point Tweezer
Never leave home without them! Ultra-sharp, finely tapered precision points are hand-filed and perfectly aligned, making this ideal for unwanted hairs. ($24.00)

Beauty Blender
A one-stop-shop for applying makeup use to smooth out all your products with just one tool. ($20.00)

Makeup Brushes
ARTIS
Elite Mirror 3 Piece Brush Set
If you prefer makeup brushes or like to use them with Beauty Blenders, I recommend these Artis brushes. They are an investment, however, they evenly blend for an airbrush finish that looks amazing. This set of three serves multi-purposes. ($110.00)
Oval 7 – Foundation, Blush, Contour
Oval 3 – Eye makeup, Concealer
Linear 1 – Eyeliner, Brows
