24 travel-sized beauty products that will make packing for the holidays a breeze

The holiday season typically means you’ll be traveling more than ever, whether you’re hopping on a bus across the state or flying across the country. With so much travel comes a lot of packing—something that can be just as stressful as gift-giving and fighting about politics with your family. Even worse? When you travel, you have to figure out what beauty products you’re going to take with you. If there’s one thing we don’t mess around with, it’s our makeup and skin care products. Nothing comes between us and our beauty regimen (you hear that, TSA?!).

Thankfully, we don’t have to leave our treasured skin care and makeup products behind. So many brands offer travel-sized items that adhere to TSA’s rules for carry-on luggage (which requires liquid items to be 3.4 ounces or smaller).

Even your favorite cosmetics and non-liquid products come in fun-sized packaging, and ultimately, going small will maximize your space.

If you’re getting ready to embark on a long-distance journey or want to bring a lightweight suitcase, we found the best travel-sized beauty products to pack on your next trip. Shop them below.
