Gentle sunbeams fall on ancient ruins, the scent of fresh espresso is in the air, and people are frolicking in front of cafés and on the streets. Our model Mambata spent a weekend in the gorgeous city of Rome – and for those of you who would also like to take a break from their everyday lives, we’ve come up with a simple TRAVELER’S LOOK.

On such a trip, the morning body & facial routines need not be neglected. To avoid (packing) space becoming a problem, there are many cosmetic products which offer travel sizes and “travel ready” sets – also available in our Amazingy shop ♥ You can conjure up a simple & versatile makeup with just a few products (and that will surely save space in your luggage ?)!

Since it’s generally recommended to wear sunscreen, I started with the VIVE SANA Serum Crema moisturizer with SPF 20 – a two-in-one. For the sake of saving luggage space, I decided to use rms Beauty’s ‘Un’ Cover-Up as the foundation; it comes in a small pot, which means you could easily take two with you. For Mambata, I chose 111 as the base color, and 99 as a concealer (to stay true to her complexion in some parts of her face). The high opacity & creamy consistency make it easy to apply with your fingers; if necessary, you can also use the ‘Un’ Powder (also from rms Beauty) for a more matte finish.

The Luminizing Powder in Madeira by rms Beauty gives a warm golden gloss to the look, serving as a highlighter on the cheeks and under the eyebrows. It’s a lightweight compact with a mirror – pretty handy for the road. Using Sun Touched, a cream blush by Kjaer Weis, I add a fresh accent of color to Mambata’s face.

The eye makeup is quick & easy: on top of the highlighter goes Bubbles – a dull, golden-nude Mineral Shimmer from HIRO Cosmetics, which looks best on darker complexions. The Limitless Lash Mascara in After Midnight by ILIA Beauty gives her eyelashes a nice boost.

To round off the day look, the lips are outlined with the brown HIRO Eye Pencil in Achromatic, and then filled with ILIA Beauty’s Lip Gloss in Peek a Boo – a tender nude. In the evening, you can emphasize the eyes a bit more with the eye pencil and pump up the lips with a dark red lipstick, such as Bordeaux N°1 from Absolution’s “sweetandsafekiss” line. And with that, you’re ready for a night out & abroad!

To store all your great beauty utensils, there’s also our chic Amazingy makeup bag – which also looks great as a clutch. You can even take some inspiration & travel tips from this insightful article while you’re preparing for your next trip.

Wishing you “sweetandsafe” travels! xx ?
