Beauty Picks: Pixiwoo's Beauty on the Go
Our guest editors, makeup artist sisters Sam and Nic, AKA Pixiwoo, share their favourite makeup products for women on the go
-
1. Pixi Illuminating Tint and Conceal
For a lightweight quick summer look we love Pixi Illuminating Tint and Conceal. This is a tinted moisturiser with a concealer in the lid, making it perfect to carry around in your handbag. A great tint that leaves the skin illuminated and has the added bonus of an SPF20. Available in four shades at £21.50 each

2. Clarins Instant Light Lip Perfector
Keep the lips glossy and neutral with Clarins Instant Light Lip Perfector. A non sticky gel formula, it leaves the lips smooth, plump and glossy. It comes in three shades (rose, apricot and beige) and leaves a soft, mistake-free colour. You won’t even need to look in the mirror to apply it! Coming in three shades of rose, apricot and beige and is priced at £16.00

3. Mac Eyeshadow
If you have time to apply eyeshadow then head to your nearest MAC counter and get your own custom built eye shadow palette filled with colours to suit you. You can purchase empty palettes in either two or four and then choose which colours you would like put in them. If you are pushed for time I would go for a duo palette and fill it with a neutral and a contouring colour to suit. A completed duo is £26.50

4. Sleek Dip It Duo
For a quick eye transformation we like Sleek Dip It Duo: a volumising mascara on one end and a felt tip black liner pen on the other end. No more rummaging around in your makeup bag for multiple products! And it's a bargain at £4.00
-
5. Becca Lip and Cheek Crème
If you’re a lover of crème blush that can double up as a lip tint then check out Becca Lip and Cheek Crème. Packaged in a slimline mirrored case this crème is highly pigmented and can be applied under or on top of foundation. It looks glossy on the skin but without the shimmer. £24

6. Avon in a Blink Shadow and Liner
Combining a soft kohl pencil with a complementing colour shadow and sponge applicator in the lid, Avon in a Blink Shadow and Liner is perfect for an on the go smoky eye. Use the pencil as a base and apply the shadow over the top for a sultry look. £6.50

7. Real Techniques Travel Essentials
Makeup looks best when applied with brushes. We love Real Techniques Travel Essentials. The three full size foundation, powder and eyeshadow brushes come in a protective wallet that doubles as a stand for when you apply makeup. £21

8. Daniel Sandler Invisible Radiance Foundation and Concealer
For a quick base we love Daniel Sandler Invisible Radiance Foundation and Concealer. This combines a lightweight radiant finish foundation and hidden away in the lid is a creamy concealer to build coverage with or hide those dark circles. It comes with a handy mirror too. £28
-
9. Travalo Mini Atomizer
We have to travel around for work and it’s always nice to freshen up with a spritz of perfume. Travalo are mini atomizers that are super easy to fill up. Just remove the nozzle off your perfume bottle, insert the small Travalo one in your fragrance and pump the atomizer up and down. Lightweight, slimline, small enough to take on an aircraft and at £9.99 cheaper than buying a travel-size perfume.

10. MAC Fix+
MAC Fix+ is a refreshing spritz that, sprayed on the face, revives a dulling or cakey foundation that’s been on all day. At 100ml it's also possible to take it on an airplane without having to decant the product into a smaller bottle. £7
