The Best MakeUp Products For Hiking

The Erborian Cc Cream Clair SPF25 has been my go to coverage product for years. I’ve tried several foundations as well but I am just not a fan of the full coverage look. This Cc cream comes out of the tube as a white cream but as soon as you apply it it adapts to your skin and gives it a clean and polished look.

It’s saturated enough to act as a foundation, but lightweight enough to let your skin breathe. It protects your skin from the sun while moisturizing it.

I use the Cc Cream in the color Clair but they also have one if your skin is a little more tan: Erborian CC Cream Dore SPF25.

If I go on a hiking trip it usually means early wakeup calls to catch the sunrise. And this often multiple days in a row. You can imagine the dark circles underneath my eyes after a while…

I love using the Maybelline Instant Anti-Age The Eraser Eye Concealer in Light to cover them up.

They also have these in several other colors but for my skin tone the Light version works best.

And as you can see I use this product a lot :p.

As I previously mentioned I am very fair skinned so I love to use a bit of bronzer on top of my Cc cream to make me look a little more sun kissed. I’ve had problems with powder bronzers in the past: they would crumble after shaking around in my makeup bag but not this one!

And yes, it’s not the cheapest one but I have used the same palette now for nearly 3 years! To apply it I use a big brush by Mac so it’s easy to apply without creating any streaks or spots!

Sometimes I even put this bronzer in my backpack to quickly do a little touch up after climbing up a steep mountain. It always returns in one piece.

I’ve been using this exact same blush for years now and love how it gives my cheeks a peachy glow. In case you don’t want to bring another powder product with you the Clinique Chubby Stick Cheek is also a good solution! The advantage of a blush stick is that it is more compact in size and that you don’t need to bring an additional brush to apply it.

All you need to do is apply the cream on your cheekbones and then smudge it with your fingers.

On the other hand I also use the MAC Sheertone Blush Pinch Me as eyeshadow on top of the Charlotte Tilbury Eyes To Mesmerize Rose Gold that I talk about below. This way you don’t need to bring any other eye makeup palette with you either.

What I love most about this product is that it works as an eyeshadow but you don’t need any kind of brush to apply it. Instead of lagging around an entire makeup palette and make up brushes all you need is this tiny container and your finger.

To apply simply dap your finger gently onto the cream, apply on your eyelid and smudge until you get the desired effect.

I have very, very light eyebrows myself. Son much so that if I don’t wear any eyebrow makeup you can barely see them. If I could only bring two makeup items with me it would be this Charlotte Tilbury Brow Lift Eyebrow Pencil and a mascara.

This pencil consists of both a brush to comb your eyebrow hairs and a pencil to fill them in and in my case make them a little darker.

To keep all of my eyebrow makeup in place I always use this eyebrow gel after applying my eyebrow pencil. It make my eyebrows a little more fluffy and a little bigger. Plus it also keeps all of the eyebrow makeup in place.

Even if I am hiking up a mountain I will ALWAYS apply these two products and as you can see on the photo below (on the right), it actually stays put after hiking up a mountain. And I can tell you, I was sweating a lot during that hike!
