To make your final makeup decision that little bit easier, browse our round-up of the best travel-sized beauty products to make your jet-setting dreams come true…
The best travel makeup:
1) NARS Mini Radiant Creamy Concealer
Never be without your favourite concealer with NARS’ must-have formula, now available in a handy travel-size. The creamy concealer illuminates your skin while obscuring the look of imperfections, lending itself to highlight, contour and colour correction. Equipped with light-reflecting technology, the innovative formula minimises the appearance of fine lines, fatigue and dark circles for a bright, luminous complexion.
2) Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray Travel Size
This setting spray undoubtedly one of the best on the market but it can be clunky to pack when you're limited on space. Enter the travel-sized version. Keeping makeup in place firmly for 16 hours, it's ideal for those who want the security of a light face base without it slipping in the summer heat.
3) Natasha Denona Mini Sunset Palette

Go from poolside to party-time as you play around with the stackable formula.
5) Iconic London Sheer Bronze
Glow across the globe with this sheer bronzer, lending warmth and dimension to any complexion. The buildable formula blends seamlessly for a soft, sun-kissed finish – perfect for hotter days and balmy nights. Though not technically travel-size, this one is fit for any suitcase.
6) Illamasqua Mini Matte Veil
Prep your skin for shine-free makeup wear with Illamasqua’s Mini Matte Veil Primer, providing a soft and supple surface to help keep your base in place.
