I've Been Traveling the World for a Year—Here Are the Beauty Lessons I Learned

Here's what it's like for a girly gal to travel with little to no room for indulgences

Foundation is not the product to experiment with
Foundation is not the product to experiment with Because I'm still recovering from acne scars (yeah, eating random foods for a year didn't exactly do wonders for my skin), I'm pretty loyal to my face makeup. Or more to the point: I don't dare to dabble when it could cause a breakout. Of all the products I lugged along on 40+ flights (yep, you read that right), I made sure to bring my favorites from Dermablend and It Cosmetics. In fact, I even asked my bestie to bring more IT when he visited me in Kyoto (on a very, very long flight — thanks James!). It might seem a bit strange to use DermaBlend Leg & Body Makeup, $34, on my face, but I love it because I don't have to wear very much. I mix it with my moisturizer and only need a dab. In fact, I've only needed a single container for a whole year. When it comes to the dark circles that happen after a 40-hour travel day, nothing compares. And on the days when I was working by the beach in Croatia or a pool in Bali, I only used a bit of It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Airbrush Perfecting Powder Illumination with SPF 50+, $35, full-coverage compact, which always did a great job of hiding the fact I was #exhausted.
