Personally, the process of traveling stresses me out. Sure, I'm happy as a clam once I've arrived at my final destination A) in one piece, B) with the precise number of bags I started with, and C) hopefully with a slight buzz (if I'm traveling for pleasure and not work, of course). However, one thing that always helps me feel and look calm, cool, and collected post-flight is my ride-or-die collection of beauty staples. I've spent years honing my small hoard, and now I keep a certain number of TSA-approved products on my person at all times when traveling—regardless of where I'm going or how long I'm air-bound. So I thought I'd divulge. After all, now that the holiday season has come and gone, many of us have our eyes set on a springtime getaway. (We'll just never lose that spring-break fever.) 

Since many of my fellow fashion and beauty editors are also always on the go, I thought I'd ask to take a peek inside their travel-ready stash of beauty products as well. Ahead, 18 of the best beauty products for travel that have our beauty- and fashion-minded stamp of approval. We promise: Your frazzled, post-flight self will thank us later!

Beauty Director

Erin has been writing a mix of beauty and wellness content for Who What Wear for over four years. Prior to that, she spent two and half years writing for Byrdie. She now calls Santa Monica home but grew up in Minnetonka, Minnesota, and studied writing, rhetoric, and communication at University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. She studied abroad in Galway, Ireland, and spent a summer in L.A. interning with the Byrdie and Who What Wear family. After graduating from UW, she spent one year in San Francisco, where she worked as a writer for Pottery Barn Kids and PBteen before moving down to L.A. to begin her career as a beauty editor. She considers her day-to-day beauty aesthetic very low-maintenance and relies on staples like clear brow serum (from Kimiko!), Lawless's Lip Plumping Mask in Cherry Vanilla, and an eyelash curler. For special occasions or days when she's taking more meetings or has an event, she'll wear anything and everything from Charlotte Tilbury (the foundations are game-changing), some shimmer on her lids (Stila and Róen do it best), and a few coats of the best mascara-type product on earth, Surratt's Noir Lash Tint.
