Let’s face it, life doesn’t slow down, and neither should your makeup. Whether you’re hustling from work meetings to dinner dates or dashing between errands, your beauty routine needs to keep pace. But how do you keep your glam fresh without a full re-do? The answer lies in smart strategies and a few travel-friendly heroes.
This is your ultimate guide to makeup touchup tips, packed with on-the-go makeup essentials and long-lasting makeup hacks that’ll have you glowing all day (and night).
1. Blotting Paper: The Shine Slayer
First up in your makeup touchup must-haves: blotting paper. These thin sheets might look unassuming, but they’re your first defense against mid-day shine. Unlike powder that can cake, blotting papers gently absorb oil without disturbing your makeup.
How to use: Dab, don’t drag, on areas like your T-zone, chin, and forehead. It's a quick makeup fix guide that fits in the palm of your hand.
2. Hydrating Mist: Instant Dewy Revival
Feeling tired or dull? One spritz of PAC X Sarah Dewy Hydrating Mist can change that in seconds. This is one of the most effective portable beauty products to revive your makeup and skin in one go.
Why it works: A mist delivers moisture and softness while resetting your makeup’s finish. Choose a formula with soothing ingredients like aloe or rosewater to double as a skin refresh.
This product truly earns its spot on any makeup refresh routine.
3. Cleaning Pads: Wipe Away Mishaps
No one has time for smudged mascara or migrating lipstick. The PAC Clean Slate Cleaning Wipes are gentle on skin but tough on unwanted smudges and smears.
Pro tip: Keep it handy in your car, tote bag, or desk drawer for emergency touch-ups. They’re a staple for busy days, especially after lunch or pre-event.
If you’re looking for a no-fail, quick makeup fix guide, this is it.

Whether you're setting your base or doing a quick mid-day touch-up, it’s the perfect matte companion for your purse or pocket.

Shine happens. Be ready with a mini translucent powder and a tiny touch-up brush or puff. This combo is a long-lasting makeup hack that instantly mattifies without heavy buildup.
