The next time you pack your makeup for an upcoming holiday, consider taking a cushion foundation compact with you. If you aren't already familiar with the K-Beauty staple, it is a sponge that's soaked with liquid foundation, housed in a plastic container with a sponge applicator.
The pros of using one are simple: they're lightweight and gentle on the skin (especially when applied and blended out with the soft applicator), reusable (as some contain replaceable sponges), and airtight (so you don't have to worry about opening your carry-on to an explosion of base makeup).
