Look good on the go

Our experts will help you stay perfectly polished on your travels, from departure to arrival!

Jetting off over the summer break? Solve all your in-flight beauty dilemmas with expert advice from L’Oréal Paris New Zealand Make-up Director Lisa Matson.

How much make-up should you wear while travelling?

You can wear as little or as much make-up as you please. For a long-haul flight, try a mineral make-up option so you can sleep in it. When on a domestic flight, opt for long-wear make-up that will keep you looking gorgeous when you land.

How can you help your skin stay dewy throughout your flight?

Carry a small travel-size bottle of spritzer to use whenever your skin feels thirsty.

Which products can help you to fake a good night’s sleep?

Apply illuminating concealer under the eyes and to your cheek bones to brighten up these areas. Add a touch of blush to the apples of your cheeks – this will stop you looking washed out and help make the eyes look brighter.

What easy steps should you take when the plane is about to arrive at your destination?

Retouch what you can. Use cotton buds to touch up any smudges. Be sure to apply a quick and easy brush of bright gloss to ooze radiance. A dust of blush will create the illusion of freshness, adding an instant wow factor.
