To make packing for your next outing a breeze, whether you’re going to a cocktail party or brunch, ahead, we’ve gathered some of the best beauty essentials you need to cop, stat.

30 Montaigne leather bag, $3,800, and sunglasses, Dior

Dior’s portable Eye Reviver Patches ($52) prove to be a necessity when you’re running on empty, and are so chic that they can be kept on during your commute. Follow up with a swipe of Dior Addict Lip Glow ($54) that’s infused with mango butter and beeswax to moisturise your pout. Finally, keep Miss Dior Roller-Pearl Eau de Toilette ($77) on hand for an extra olfactory boost.

For moisture on the go, throw the pocket-sized Pixi On- the-Glow Multi-Use Moisture Stick ($31) into your bag. Made with exfoliating glycolic acid and skin-balancing ginseng, it can be used on the face, lips, body and even hair. Of course, you’ll also need a hard-working SPF for your day out.

Meanwhile, Yulip Tinted Lip Balm ($30) gives your cheeks and lips a healthy flush of colour.
