The Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder Duo, $45 houses two shades. You can use the lighter shade to lightly fill in any gaps for that no makeup, makeup look and the darker hue for the nighttime. You can also mix both shades together as needed. It’s equally effective when used as a contour for the hairline and nose bridge. Just be sure to use a lighter colour. Pro-tip: a statement-making lip like Pat McGrath Labs MatteTrance Lipstick, $62 is great for enlivening your complexion and transitioning your makeup from day to night.

Keep a bottle of travel-sized perfume such as the Analisa Neige Bleue, $xx on hand to smell and feel your best. Drawing inspiration from the crisp winter air and brisk sea breeze, this addictive scent boasts notes of mandarin, geranium, lavandin and cedarwood.

Supergoop’s Unseen Sunscreen Stick, price unavailable, is the ultimate handbag hero. Not only does it offer SPF 40 coverage, it also smooths the skin and preps it for makeup. Meanwhile, IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Bags Daytime Treatment, $55 comes in a portable tube (similar to a lip balm) and harnesses a patented honeycomb technology to create a flexible adhesive layer that depuffs and lifts the undereye area without causing your makeup to crease or pill.

Another convenient addition to your oversized bag charm? Fenty Beauty We’re Even Hydrating Concealer, $45 is an all-rounder concealer that masks dark circles, cancels out redness and hides spots without caking on the skin. Comes in a whopping 50 shades.

Elevate your daily makeup look in minutes with the four quad, pocket-sized Burberry Beauty Eye Quad Eyeshadow Palette, $110 that comes packed with a mix of neutral matte, shimmery and satin shades. Since the shadows are designed to be used wet or dry, you can dampen your applicator and use the darker shades as eyeliner.

The palette also comes in a travel-friendly case with an in-built mirror and applicator. Swipe on a coat or two of the Fenty Beauty Hella Thicc Volumizing Mascara (Deluxe Sample Size), price unavailable, to look bright-eyed and put together. Add a hint of colour to your cheek and pout with the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Beauty Icon Lipstick, $55.
