I typically carry three bags; the larger makeup relavel bag, a suitcase with my hair kit, and a personal carry on. I prefer to check my hair bag and carry on my makeup bag as I like to keep it in sight at all times so it’s not thrown around. Here are a few of my favorite tips that make traveling easier as a beauty artist:

1. Transfer all large hair products to checked in suitcases. You can buy travel/mini versions of the sprays for your carry-on as an emergency option and/or touch ups.
2. Separate products into plastic zipper containers as much as possible in case of spill, it won’t go everywhere.
3. Transfer large foundations to smaller plastic bottles/containers or makeup pods.
4. Bring converters for your hair products and make sure they work in the country you are traveling to. I have this European one!
5. I don’t carry my blow dryer to Europe as most hotels and venues have one in the room and American blow dryers are too powerful and will “blow out” – no pun intended.
