Vacation is a time for rest and relaxation instead of fussing over a 20-step heavy makeup routine that will end up melting in the tropical sun. When I travel, I keep my skincare and beauty routine very simple and basic because I spend days idling away on the beach or by the pool.  When I venture out for sightseeing or mealtime, I keep my foundation to a minimum by concealing my undereye area with a skin tone-matching concealer like the Makeup Revolution IRL Longwear Concealer and blurring my imperfections with the Danessa Myricks Blurring Balm Powder, which serves as my foundation. It’s buildable without feeling heavy on the skin.

I set everything with a powder and brighten my undereye a bit with a banana powder like Sacha Buttercup (optional). I fill in my brows with a brow pencil from NYX and add a dose of color to my cheeks. I’m obsessed with the Haus Labs by Lady Gaga Color Fuse Talc-Free Powder Blush with Fermented Arnica. It’s a hydrating formula that delivers the most beautiful warm color on the cheeks. Shop my vacation makeup must-haves below and check out my easy makeup tutorial on my Instagram.
