When packing for a trip, the number one rule is to pack all the essentials — and for us, that means makeup. Though travel beauty hacks can definitely help free up a little extra space in your suitcase, it's still tough to tout around that massive eyeshadow palette and an 18-piece set of makeup brushes. And that's where these cute, travel-friendly brush sets come in — they're so compact and convenient, and are ideal for stowing away in your luggage. (Besides, with your brush situation taken care of, think of how much extra room you'll have for all your palettes!).
With two multitasking face brushes and two equally multitasking eye brushes (all housed in a handy mint green pouch), this budget-friendly set pares things down to the essentials. Plus, the bristles are so soft that you'd never guess they came from the drugstore aisle.
This 6-piece brush set is double-ended, so you're essentially getting 12 different makeup brushes. Made with synthetic and natural hair, the bristles come in vibrant colors and are so easy to work with. The set has everything you need for your blush, foundation, eyeshadow, and contour. Plus, it comes with a convenient travel pouch and instructions on how to use each brush.
Valued at $160, this 7-piece brush set comes stocked with all the essentials for your face and eye makeup. To make things even better for travel, these makeup brushes have antibacterial bristles, which will help them keep clean for longer. The accompanying travel pouch also has an elegant look and will help keep your brushes safe.
If you're set on keeping things simple, this 5-piece brush set from Sonia Kashuk is just the ticket. You get two complexion brushes and three eye brushes, and their smaller size makes them especially good for travel. Its lightweight zippered pouch stores your brushes safely and is small enough to slip in your purse.
