Beauty

How’s a girl to stay gorgeous while traveling and not pack a steamer trunk full of lotions and potions and sprays? That is the question my dears.

It is possible to look great while traveling but a simple approach must be taken. Once again we take our cue from European women who manage to look super sexy without looking tarty. European women take a “less is more” approach to beauty and you’ll notice they wear minimal makeup or just highlight one part of their face, like emphasizing their lips with the perfect shade of red lipstick.

Makeup regimes should be streamlined to cut down on the products packed and time spent getting ready. Finding the right products can also cut down on what we pack. Double duty items or all in one small makeup kits will take up less room.

Most women in Europe wear minimal makeup. Of course it helps to be gorgeous like this girl. Take a cue from her and note that sunglasses always up the glam factor. These and more photos of the stylish can be found at The Sartorialist.
