Getting to and from the airport can be a daunting task. The last thing a woman wants to worry about is the way she looks upon arrival. While airline restrictions have severely limited the types of products a woman can carry on board a plane, there are some very simple things you can do to make sure you are looking your best when you step off the plane at the end of your journey!
- Pull your hair back and tie it in a scarf. Scarves are not only stylish, but you won?t
walk off the place sporting a matted plane-seat look. - Carry a small container of dry hair powder. It will keep your hair from becoming oily or greasy.
- Apply some leave-in hair conditioner before tying your hair in a scarf. Your hair will receive a soothing conditioning treatment while you?re in flight.
- Always carry a comb and brush for a quick fix.
- Invest in hair shine paper and use it before getting off of the plane.
- Purchase some pre-moistened eye pads (I love cucumber) and use them during your flight to relax and pamper your tired eyes.
- Pack a small container of pre-moistened makeup remover cloths. They double as facial cleansers and makeup remover pads, meaning you can pack less.
- Bring a caked mascara product. It?s easier to carry around without worrying about spillage and you won?t have to include it in your very small bag of allowable liquid carry on products.
- Carry a makeup concealer stick. They work not only for blemishes, but for hiding the circles you?re sure to have under your eyes due to a lack of sleep on the plane.
- Fly by the pharmacy on your way to the airport and pick up a stick of pure cocoa butter and a pair of hand gloves. Use the cocoa butter to treat your hands to a mini-spa treatment while you?re in flight.
Remember, airline restrictions have changed. Be careful not to pack too much liquid makeup when traveling. No one liquid product may be more than three fluid ounces and all of your liquid products must fit into a single one-quart plastic bag. Any other liquid products must remain in your checked baggage.
If in doubt, or if you just don?t have time to pack, simply grab a bottle of water and a pair of your favorite sunglasses. At least you?ll look cute until you?re able to unpack the necessities!
I loved your flight tips. You are correct about the dry hair powder – this is perfect for getting rid of the greasies! Not a lot of haircare lines make a “dry shampoo” anymore but as a stylist, I have found that a bit of baby powder (or flesh colored talk) work really well too – just don’t use much!

This is a great list for anyone trying to look good while on the run.
