When I travel, I want makeup that looks like good skin, lasts from breakfast to dinner and takes five minutes in a hotel mirror. This is the routine.
1. Skin prep (1 minute)
Moisturiser and SPF, then a pea-sized amount of hydrating primer only where you get shiny.
Makeup that looks like good skin, lasts from breakfast to dinner and takes five minutes in a hotel mirror.
2. Even skin tone (1 minute)
A skin tint or tinted SPF pressed in with fingers, plus concealer only where you need it: under the eyes and around the nose.
3. Colour (1 minute)
A cream blush tapped on the cheeks and over the eyelids for a monochrome look. It photographs beautifully in natural light.
4. Brows and lashes (1 minute)
A clear or tinted brow gel brushed upward, and one coat of a water-resistant mascara.
5. Lips and set (1 minute)
A tinted balm or lip oil, then a light mist of setting spray to keep everything in place in the heat.
Choose cream textures over powders when you travel: they melt into skin and survive humidity.
