Top 5 Face Brushes to Carry When You Travel

 

Excited about your upcoming trip but worried about how you’ll manage your makeup routine without all your makeup tools and products with you? Don't worry. 

We've got the perfect list of all the essential tools and brushes that you need to take with you while you travel, whether you're going for a few days, or for a longer trip, all you need are the following brushes:

1. Flat-top round, angled foundation and contour brush

You will definitely need this angled, flat-top foundation brush that will help with evenly applying your foundation, blending and buffing it in, and then contouring your face with the angled shape. It's a great multi-purpose tool that will give you multiple functions in one. 

The stippling function will also blend out all streaks and give you a smooth, seamless finish, while the soft angle will form gentle lines along your cheekbone and jawline, as well as your temples. It's a great tool that anyone should have in their kits, and it's all the more useful for traveling.

When you're looking for a quick fix between washes, you can wipe away reside product with a makeup wipe or dry tissue paper so your foundation and contour products don’t mix. 

2. Fluffy, dense kabuki brush for powders and blush

The kabuki brush is an incredibly wonderful makeup tool. Originating from Kabuki theatre, it’s an incredibly handy tool to carry along when you travel because it can be used for applying various powders such as setting and compact powders. 

The dense, but fluffy shape allows you to sweep powder across large areas of your face, such as the cheeks or forehead, and get even coverage. 

For travel, in particular, we recommend NEAT Beauty’s medium-sized kabuki brush that has a narrower head and can be used for blush and bronzer application too! Multi-purpose tools are going to be a lifesaver for you when you travel.

3. Tapered eyeshadow blending brush for the crease

When it comes to your eyes, all you really need is a great blending brush to soften the edges and create a gorgeous eye look. Softly place your favorite eyeshadow along your crease with this tapered but fluffy blending brush, and blend out harsh lines with the rounded tip. 

For pigment and shimmers, you can either carry an additional dense and flat brush such as this shader brush or just use your finger to really pack and place them on your lid. Even when you use your finger,  you can blend the lid shade into your transition shade with the blending brush. 

Save space, time, and effort, and get extra dense shimmer or color on your lid with this hack!

 

4. Angled eye brush for liner application and brows

Another essential eye makeup brush you absolutely need to get is an angled eye brush that can be used for creating various eye makeup looks, for eyeliner, and for filling in your brows. Remember how we said look for brushes that can be used in multiple ways when traveling? 

This brush is going to be your new favorite! The tapered, angled design gives you precision, control, and the perfect look each time. whether you want that winged liner, or wish to draw natural-looking brow hairs, this fine-edged brush can do it all.

The basic beauty blending sponge can be used for practically everything from applying and blending foundation and concealer, to placing setting powder, contour, and blush-on. It's an all-in-one beauty tool that you can also pair with your brushes, and carry with you for touch-ups during the day.
