#1 Ditch the makeup

Speaking from experience, wearing makeup in an airplane is probably one of the worst things you can do to your skin!

The air in airplanes is extremely dry so when you have makeup on, your skin will not be able to breathe and you will not be able to apply skincare products on top of makeup to keep your skin hydrated too.

So, it is best that you ditch your makeup for the plane ride and only start applying when you are nearing landing.

#2 Hydrate, hydrate and hydrate

Drink up during your flight as staying hydrated will prevent your skin from drying out. This will help you look more refreshed when you step off the plane.

Also, the oiliest skin will dry out too when sitting in an airplane for long hours so, we recommend that you apply a hydrating sleeping mask or moisturiser during the flight.

You can also spritz on a hydrating mist (make sure it is less than 100ml so you can bring it up the plane) whenever you feel your skin tightening from dryness.

#3 Use a cushion foundation

Using makeup to hide your tiredness is a great way to look like you did not just sit through a long flight!

We mentioned ditching the makeup during your flight but you can always apply a thin layer before landing so you can look holiday ready in all the photos you will be taking once you step off the plane.

Use a cushion foundation that is packed with moisture as it is easy to use in your confined airplane seat and is fuss-free. This will make your skin tone look even with a natural glow.

#4 Bring a lip tint

Pale lips aren't cute! Bring a lip tint up the plane with you so you can easily achieve a gradient lip look like the image above.

The lip tint can even double up as a blusher and eyeshadow when used sparingly, so you will not have to bring a separate blush and eye product!

#5 Tame your brows

As brows frame the face and plays an important part in helping you look more awake, remember to fill them in before landing!

If you find drawing your eyebrows a hassle during a plane ride, you can opt for brow powder or brow mascara for easy usage that will still give you a neat eyebrow look.

#6 Apply perfume on the right places

Applying perfume will not make you look refreshed but will let you feel and smell good, especially after a long flight!

If you are meeting a special someone upon landing, you would want to smell good too ?

Use a rollerball perfume that you can bring on the plane and apply to the right places so that the scent lingers for as long as possible.
