In 2018, I ventured on 16 different planes and packed my travel makeup bag just as many times. In that time, I've gone from packing three over-stuffed purses (each one dedicated to makeup, skin care, and hair care respectively) to carrying one seamless and, dare I say, roomy pouch.
I hit a turning point sometime in February, when I found myself lugging a 30-pound carry-on up and down the stairs at Penn Station for a weekend trip. It finally made me edit my stash, and now I can fit my entire weekend beauty routine into the one large tote bag in the video above.
Press play to find out what I always bring with me.
