Flying and beauty

[happyhomemaker]

DH and I are going in vacation (can't come soon enough!) in a few weeks. We are taking a seriously early flight and by seriously early I mean 4am!    We don't fly much and not that early when we do. We have to be at the airport 1 hour early, so I am trying to figure out my beauty routine. I feel like I shouldn't leave the house that early without something on but we will be flying or at airports all day and into the evening so I want my makeup to last as long as possible. What do you recommend for makeup, either products or routine? I currently do a pretty full face most days (revlon colorstay whipped foundation in 110, MUFE, It cosmetics or NARs creamy concealer, TF shadow insurance eye primer, TF chocolate box or naked eye shadow, liner, mascara, nars orgasm blush, lip gloss). I also tend to have dry skin so I want to look hydrated despite the airplane air. What is your travel routine and what tips can you give me?

I don't wear a ton of make up but when I flew overnight, I went to the airport with tinted moisturizer and chapstick. Before landing I did my make up on the plane. That's the only tip I have.

Lisa Eldridge has a great video on this. Let me see if I can find it.

That early, or red eyes, I throw on moisturizer and go. If you need something, maybe tinted moisturizer, blush and mascara.

That early, I use moisturizer and go and usually re-apply mid flight because the dryness kills my already dry skin. During the flight or in the bathroom at the airport when we arrive, I might add some color. Usually when I'm more awake.

Moisturizer, concealer and mascara. It's too early to worry about a full face. I've had 4 am check ins before on about 2 hours sleep and that's all I did. I'd carry on my makeup, all solids if possible of course, and apply more later if I wanted.

i'd do my makeup once i arrived at my destination, or just go really simple...moisturizer, some lip balm, maybe a swipe or 2 of mascara.

This.  I'd put on some bb cream and add on as I felt necessary.  I'd probably also swipe on some mascara.

Thanks for sharing your routines. I think I will keep it minimal until our layover when I will have time to do a full face.

That early I'd stick to tinted moisturizer and under eye concealer and a lip stain that can double for your cheeks.

My routine is pretty minimal to begin with and I usually can't sleep before a flight anyways so I do my version of a full face. I do tinted moisturizer, a little loose powder , blush and mascara.
