Hello Travelling Moms! ✈️
As someone who’s a total expert when it comes to traveling with kids, I’ve learned that there are a few essentials that make everything easier. But let’s be honest – I’m not a beauty expert. I’ve always kept my makeup routine super simple (if I even have one at all). However, I knew I needed something a little more put-together for those busy travel days when I still want to look chic, even if I'm juggling little ones and carry-ons. That’s why I’ve put together this 5-Minute Travel Makeup Routine for Busy Moms! It’s the perfect way to look polished and refreshed, without taking up too much of your precious time.
The Need for a Simple Yet Chic 5 Minute Travel Makeup Routine
That’s why I reached out to my amazing friend Fabiola, a talented makeup artist and consultant who knows her stuff. Fabiola has helped me pick out a few versatile, multipurpose products that will make you look like you spent way more time getting ready than you actually did (trust me, it's magic). These products are perfect for moms on the go – even if you’re someone who doesn’t know a thing about makeup (like me!).
Compact & Convenient Travel Makeup Routine
And the best part? They won’t take up much space in your suitcase or travel bag. As a carry-on traveler for life, space and time are always at the top of my priority list, so Fabiola’s picks are both compact and easy to use.
5 Minute Travel Makeup Routine for Busy Moms!
Here are Fabiola's top recommendations for a quick, 5-minute travel makeup routine for busy moms:
1. Multi-Use Tinted Moisturizer or BB Cream
Skip the heavy foundation and opt for a tinted moisturizer or BB cream that hydrates, evens out skin tone, and provides a bit of sun protection. It’s your all-in-one base for a fresh, glowing look without the hassle. Fabiola recommends a product with SPF to keep your skin protected while you’re out and about.
2. Cream Blush
For cheeks that pop, a cream blush is a total game-changer. It’s easy to blend, super natural-looking, and doubles as lip color if you’re in a pinch. Plus, it won’t crack or dry out during your travels like powder blush can.
3. Mascara (of course!)
A good mascara is always a must. It opens up your eyes and makes you look more awake, even if you’ve been up all night with a fussy toddler! Fabiola swears by a waterproof formula so you don’t have to worry about smudging while running around catching flights or chasing little feet.
4. Brow Gel or Pencil
A quick swipe of brow gel or pencil can completely change your face in seconds. Fabiola recommends a tinted brow gel to add color and shape without needing extra tools. It’s the perfect, low-maintenance product for moms who want to look polished with minimal effort.
5. Bronzer
To add warmth and a healthy glow to your complexion, finish with a quick sweep of bronzer. This product is perfect for a natural, sun-kissed look and can be easily applied with just a few strokes. Compact and travel-friendly, it’s small enough to stash in your bag, making it a must-have for busy traveling moms!
6. Setting Spray
To lock your makeup in place and keep it fresh all day, finish with a quick spritz of setting spray. It’s a lifesaver for busy moms on the go, helping your makeup last through long days of travel. Plus, it's lightweight and compact, making it easy to throw in your bag for quick touch-ups when travelling or needed.

Remember, looking fabulous while juggling little ones is totally possible – and it doesn’t need to take a ton of time or effort. Safe travels, and happy shopping!
