Must-Have Beauty Products For On The Go

Must-Have Beauty Products For On The Go!

We live in a world that doesn’t stop, we are constantly on the go and rushing! This often means that we don’t have time in the morning to do our makeup.

Having some easy go-to makeup products that fit in our handbag can be a lifesaver! Aside from travel makeup products, there are many multi-purpose products that will make your day-to-day life easier and lighter, and of course, your packing for the holidays too! I will share with you the best beauty products for when you’re on the go!

No one wants their makeup routine to be complicated especially on the days that there’s simply no time. But you also don’t have to sacrifice being barefaced the whole day just because you’re short on time. 

Whether you’re simply rushing out of your home or you’re out of town, you need products that you can rely on.

I broke it down to the 5 most important features on your face to concentrate on when you are in a rush, along with some fab products that you can use.

1. Base 

Applying foundation needs time to make sure that it’s applied evenly. No one wants a blotchy face because well, that defeats the purpose of foundation!

You need a foundation that is simple and easy to apply. Having the perfect base can do wonders for your complexion.

Since this post is all about those days when you’re in a rush and on the go, I’ve brought you two of the best-tinted moisturizers that apply seamlessly and easily.

Tinted moisturizer– a combination of moisturizer and foundation is the perfect solution for when you’re in a rush and on the go. You kill 2 birds with one stone and you can still look amazing!

They’re easy to apply, and they’re also relatively small so they can fit into your handbag. You gotta love that!

NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer 

NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer

NARS rarely go wrong with its products and this tinted moisturizer is proof of that. Tried and tested, the NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer is easily one of the best-tinted moisturizers on the market. You can use your fingers to apply it as you go and it’s easy to get even coverage with it.

NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer gives a sheer and natural coverage that still lets your skin breathe. Not only does it cover any blemishes and pigmentation really well, but it also has an SPF 30 that will help you block off the harsh rays of the sun! 

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Tint 

Looking for a drugstore alternative? The Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Tint is the best choice for you. It is non-comedogenic (perfect for sensitive skin!) and oil-free. With this tinted moisturiser, you will get glowy, skinlike coverage.

Your skin will still peek through but with a flawless, even skin tone. Apply it whichever you prefer, with fingers or with a sponge and you’re base will be wonderfully set!


2. Eyeshadows

There are times when we can’t create a full eyeshadow look and that’s okay! Sometimes less is more, and a natural look looks more effortless. There are tons of great eyeshadow products that you can grab and go! But we have two excellent products that are innovative and of excellent quality. 

Fenty Snap Shadows

Fenty Snap Shadows

With the recent release of Fenty Beauty Palettes, the Snap Shadows Eyeshadow Palette are the perfect palette for on-the-go! They come in a 6-pan compact palette that fits perfectly into small spaces. And what’s even better?

Since it has a range of 8 different colour palettes, you could mix and match two combinations and snap them together!

Lorac Pro To Go Eye/Cheek Palette 

As the name fittingly says, this is a wonderful to-go palette for both eyes and cheeks! With 6 eyeshadows and 3 shades for the cheeks, this will save you time and space in your purse and is perfect for when you’re on the go.

The palette comes with a mirror as well as 2 brushes, one for the eyeshadows and one for the blush. Lorac doesn’t disappoint with the colour payoff and the colours are super pretty.

This is the ideal purse product, it’s small and has everything you need for your face and eyes!


3. Eyebrows

Eyebrows frame the face and in my opinion, they’re one of the most important features of the face. Since thick, perfectly sculpted eyebrows are not in trend anymore, you can opt for a more natural brow.

You don’t even have to worry if they’re sculpted as long as they are filled in where the hair is sparse, and brushed to look neat, you will be good to go.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz & Tinted Gel

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz & Tinted Gel

The Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz is the holy grail for many people (me included!) and for excellent reasons. Anastasia Beverly Hills created this brow product not only for makeup experts but also for those who are beginners to makeup as well. The pencil is really easy to use due to its extra thin nib.

If you find drawing in your eyebrows too hard for you, the Tinted Gel will be a great alternative. All you need to do is brush the gel on your eyebrows and you have perfect intact brows for the whole day.

Colourpop Precision Brow Pencil

Even when you break a sweat! Simple swipes to your brows, will keep your brows intact and volumized throughout the day.

4. Mascaras

Onto eyelashes, just like eyebrows, lashes add so much life to our look. That’s why so many people are getting their eyelashes tinted professionally nowadays. Though if you’re not one to try that out, these mascaras will give you the perfect oomph for your lashes! 

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara

5. Cheeks

There are loads of multi-purpose products that are efficient and practical when it comes to bronzers and blushers. They are a great way to bring dimension and colour back to the face. 

NARS The Multiple

Designed for the eyes, cheeks, lips and body, NARS The Multiple is genuinely a great product for when you’re in a rush. With the Orgasm shade, you’ll achieve naturally flushed rosy cheeks perfect for the day. It is creamy to apply and it has a beautiful pigment that is smooth as you layer it on.

NudeStix Nudies Bronze

It is a double-ended product, one end is the stick and the other is a brush. If you are looking for a multi-purpose product that can save your makeup when you’re out, then you need this!

My Thoughts

So there you have it, your beauty products for on-the-go! With these beauty products for on-the-go, you will have a flawless makeup look in a few minutes. Makeup doesn’t have to be complicated, in fact, the trick is focusing on the areas you want to show off.

They are also extremely useful for travelling, sometimes we don’t want to pack a ton of makeup that we may not use during the trip, so it’s essential to take note of products that are multitaskers. With that, you won’t have to look stressed on these fast-paced days!
