When travelling, space is of a premium, so taking the least number of beauty products is the ideal. Plus you don’t want to get bogged down spending hours applying makeup before you setout for the day.
Hybrid beauty products are the best way to go, and they are small enough to carry with you to pop on before a special instagrammable moment.
What is a hybrid beauty product?
Hybrid beauty products typically do more than one thing, for example, MAC Cosmetics double sided Dual Dare All Day Waterproof Liner, which facilitates the application of mascara and eyeliner all in one product.
Why should I use a Hybrid Beauty Product?
Hybrid beauty products have improved a lot in recent years and can be just as good as single use products.
You can reduce the size of your makeup bag by 50% by using them, and they can force you to get more creative with your makeup look, for example most hybrid cheek products are creamy, which if you usually use powder this is a positive shift.
Many hybrid products are also designed to be applied with your hands not brushes – another way to reduce space and push you outside of your comfort zone.
Here are some of the best, most functional hybrid beauty products perfect for travel as well as a busy lifestyle in 2022.
