7 Must-Follow Hacks for Packing Makeup in a Carry-On

Leave your powders at home

No one likes opening an eye shadow palette after a flight, only to have cracked pieces crumble everywhere. The fact is that your carry-on is likely to experience a few bumps along the flight. To avoid ending up with a grainy mess, leave your powders—both loose and pressed—at home. Divya Gugnani, Co-Founder of Wander Beauty, experienced these hiccups firsthand before creating a line of beauty products specifically designed for busy women on the go. “As a beauty enthusiast and a working mother of two kids under 5, I looked at the cracked powders and dirty brushes in my makeup bag and knew there was a better way,” Gugnani says. Instead of packing breakable, powder eyeshadows, bring cream shadow like Wander Beauty’s Exquisite Eye Liquid Shadow, and instead of powder blush, use a cream like the Wanderess Cheek Tint.
