It's the holiday season, which means you likely have a trip coming up. And with holiday travel comes the most annoying prep step: packing.

If you're a beauty girlie, you know that trying to fit your entire makeup routine (plus some extra options, because you never know) into a travel bag can be a frustrating process. You'll likely have to sacrifice one or two beloved items to make it all fit. 

We'll let you in on a little secret: You can pack an entire face in just one bag, you just need the right multi-tasking beauty products!

Our shopping pros have found must-have items for your travel makeup bag that will streamline your packing process (and your makeup routine).

To knock out your sunscreen and foundation in one go, we found a tinted moisturizer with SPF 30 that will protect your skin while providing coverage for acne and redness.

In terms of rosy color, shop a multi-purpose stick (bonus points if it's double-sided!) that you can use on your eyes, lips, and cheeks.

You can never go wrong with a slim, versatile palette for your whole face. There's one from KimChi Chic Beauty that includes a range of highlighters and blushes.

These beauty travel essentials will make packing for your holiday trip, a work trip, or even just a weekend away, much, much easier.
