Travelling can be such a stressful experience. Yes, it’s nice to visit new places and meet new people, but when it comes to packing, we’d rather not. If you’ve ever had a foundation mishap, then you know exactly what we’re talking about. Thankfully there are ways to travel with makeup that won’t give your favourite dress foundation stains.
To learn how to travel with makeup, we are looking to a jet-setter whose makeup skills can roll with the best of them. Ladies, and ladies, Jackie Aina. The beauty guru and makeup sensei just uploaded what is probably the timeliest YouTube video ever. And it’s all about how to travel with makeup. In the video, Jackie lets us in on her packing secrets and what you should put where. It’s such a helpful video!
Keep scrolling to see our top tips from Jackie.
- Jackie suggests getting a travel makeup bag. Now, why would you need this? Well, it helps to keep your clothes safe and stain free in case it is manhandled by the handsy people at luggage. Also, it keeps your makeup all in one place so once you have that bag, you’re good to go.

- Pack your makeup in the order in which you use makeup. So basically, if you use primer, spot corrector, foundation, concealer & loose powder, then pack in that order. This way you don’t forget anything, because you most likely won’t skip a step when doing your makeup.
- When travelling with makeup, try as much as possible to get travel size products. They make everything easier and lighter and chances are you won’t exhaust them before your trip back.
- If you’re travelling with breakable bottles, and fragile packaging, put them in the middle. This way if there’s any serious impact, they will survive.

- When it comes to packing eyeshadow palettes, grab the palettes you usually use. This way you’re sure you will definitely use the palettes and won’t regret the colours.
- Jackie always packs makeup wipes with her. And this isn’t just to clean her makeup off, but also to clean her brushes on the go.

- If you want to be really ‘extra’ with it, you can travel with your own mirror. Jackie suggests this because you never know how good (or bad) the mirror at your accommodation is going to be. Hers lights up to give her peak visibility while she slays.
- Another thing you need when learning how to travel with makeup is to always pack a facial mist. The air at 30,000 feet is quite dry and it strips your skin. A little spritz here and there will help refresh your skin till you land.
