When we're headed on a beach vacation, the last thing we want to be doing is lugging around a bulky beauty bag around the beach. We can't be bothered to carry around 20 different products on our tropical vacay because, let's be real — that's a little unnecessary, and we need to be hands-free for all the relaxing we're going to do.
That's why we've selected a few multitasking beauty products that are the ideal match for your next seaside vacay. They do the job, and they work for every occasion — from daytime sunbathing to chilled-out dinners. Read on for our top picks when it comes to some easy-breezy travel makeup, and don't forget to add 'em to your cart too!

- 02. Lakmé Sun Expert Tinted Sunscreen 50+++ SPF
- 03. Lakmé 9 to 5 Eye Color Quartet Eye Shadow - Desert Rose

01. Dermalogica Antioxidant Hydramist
If you're at the beach and you're not refreshing your skin every couple of hours, what are you even doing? A refreshing toner that will keep your skin hydrated. Our top pick is the Dermalogica Antioxidant Hydramist. The white tea in it will help calm your skin from the harshness of the sun and protect it from damage, while the bamboo and pea extract will help stimulate hyaluronic acid formation for some extra hydration. Use this one for skin prep, as a setting spray, and a general face-refresher all through the day.
02. Lakmé Sun Expert Tinted Sunscreen 50+++ SPF
No trip to the beach is complete without sunscreen, and when it's tinted? That makes it so much better. Save the heavy foundations for when you're back in the city, and stick to the Lakmé Sun Expert Tinted Sunscreen 50+++ SPF instead. Not only will it protect your skin from all forms of sun damage, but it will also give you a natural-looking, even skin tone that'll hide any blemishes without looking cakey.
03. Lakmé 9 to 5 Eye Color Quartet Eye Shadow - Desert Rose
The name may have 'desert' in it, but if there were ever an eyeshadow palette for the beach, this one is it. The Lakmé 9 to 5 Eye Color Quartet Eye Shadow - Desert Rose consists of four gorgeous shimmery shades that are beach-perfect. You can create a bunch of different eye makeup looks using this convenient quartet. No bulky palettes are required!
04. Lakmé Eyeconic Curling Mascara
How are your pictures at the beach supposed to look good without a little lash drama? The Lakmé Eyeconic Curling Mascara will help add some oomph to your lashes by creating some natural-looking volume that'll draw all the attention to your peepers. Plus, it's waterproof — so if you are scared the humidity would ruin your eye makeup, you can put those fears to rest.
05. Lakmé 9 to 5 Weightless Matte Mousse Lip & Cheek Colour - Blush Velvet
This one is multitasking at its best. A weightless, long-lasting matte lip and cheek colour, the Lakmé 9 to 5 Weightless Matte Mousse Lip & Cheek Colour - Blush Velvet is a must-have in your travel makeup kit. Simply dab a little on the apples of your cheeks and on your lips, and you're pretty done! Looking put together has never been this easier.
