You could just pack a beauty blender to blend away all your cream products, but storing it in your makeup bag while it’s damp can be quite tricky. Carrying multiple brushes takes up a considerable amount of space, so that’s no an option. Nudestix’s blend and buff brush is a great alternative.
This dual-ended, compact brush works well for applying all your cream, liquid, and powder makeup products. It has a dense, fluffy brush on one end for diffused blending, and a smaller, tapered brush on the other for a more precise blend.

Even if you decide not to wear any makeup on your travels, just doing your eyebrows can frame the face and make you look put together. Instead of carrying a brow pomade, brow gel, spoolie and eyebrow brush, you can just carry Pixi’s Natural Brow Duo. It’s a convenient pencil and gel duo with a precisely angled tip on one end that defines the eyebrows, and a tinted brow gel on the other that effortlessly sets the brows in place.

In our efforts to give you a convenient alternative to achieve a full face of makeup, we cannot forget the lips. And another dual ended-product that has made it to the list because of its convenient packaging and the stellar formula is the ColorStay Overtime Lipcolor by Revlon.
