Vacation-ready makeup: Effortless looks for every destination

Looking great from morning to night while on the go makes one feel good, but it can also pose some challenges when it comes to achieving a stunning makeup look for every destination you visit.

Having said that, embracing minimalist makeup isn’t about compromising on creativity, it is about amplifying your natural appearance and streamlining your routine.

Here is a simple guide that will help you create a natural makeup look, by using just a handful of selected products,that will not only highlight your features, but will blend beautifully with the softer tones, no matter where your travels lead to.

Use minimal makeup products

First things first, to create a minimal makeup look, you will need to pack the right makeup products. The best way to do this is to choose light-coverage options having skin-like natural finishes.

Consider a BB cream, lightweight foundation and tinted moisturizer for subtle coverage for the complexion and also to understand blushes, bronzes and lip tints. Add a perfect mascara to enhance the look of the eyes.

Simple makeup looks you can master for any travel setting

Cruising makeup wear

Whether you are sailing on a frosty cruise from Vancouver or a winter voyage from Southampton, during the winter months your face will be in need of a boost from the super dry ocean air. So give yourself this hydrated glowing skin look by prepping your skin with a hydrating serum and following up with a rich moisturizer.

Next choose a flawless filter to apply under your foundation to give the effortless from the within glow. Apply under the eyes to give a shining effect to the cheek, brow bones and the bridge of the nose.

Beach makeup wear

Whether you are partying on the pier or simply settled on a sun lounger, your beach makeup should reflect the carefree spirit of spending the day on the pristine sands.

To make sure that the makeup you wear on the hot day looks fresh and radiant, reach for a lightweight makeup product that allows your skin to breathe and also refresh at the same time. Consider a hydrating mist to help moisturize the skin in the stifling heat.

In order not to miss out on the fun, don’t forget to carry quick and easy makeup products which you can layer and touch up in seconds like a collagen lip bath, dewy cream blush and a wave of mascara.

Everyday city look

This is the most common of all makeup looks you can wear any day and especially when you have to attend a meeting and want to look all put-together.

To begin with, tap some blush on the cheeks and blend into the skin with the fingers. Next apply a bronzer with a tool brush to warm up the complexion. If there is some left on the brush, apply on the nose to give a sun-kissed appearance.

Finish off with a coat of mascara that won't smudge at the end of the day and will give a solid boost of volume with just one application.

Master the airport makeup look

The minimal airport look is increasing in popularity as its unique style makes one look chic yet at the same time casual, as if you were not trying anything at all. Moreover, this look is perfect if you are seeking to combine comfort with style during a long haul flight.

The best part is that it is easy to create whether at the airport or on the flight or even when shuttling between the two, or just about anywhere, because of its ability to transition very effortlessly.

All you need to do is to create a simple base, define the eyes subtly and add a hint of color to the lips. You can wear it on days, nights and literally on any occasion where you want to look your best without trying too hard.
