The Mini Bar

All our top-shelf essentials and new favorites, in convenient mini and travel sizes. To try, gift, or take on the go.

Travel-size makeup products offer versatility for on-the-go beauty fans. Travel size generally means 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or smaller, which meets the maximum size requirements of the U.S. Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) for liquid, aerosol, gel, cream, or paste products in carry-on luggage on commercial flights originating in, traveling through, or landing in the United States. These same regulations are followed by most airline carriers worldwide. (There are generally no size restrictions for products in checked luggage.) Bobbi Brown’s mini makeup, which you can find in our Mini Bar , is the same as the full-size counterparts, just in travel-friendly sizes that make them easy to pack and TSA approved for carrying on airplanes. This means you don’t have to forgo your Bobbi Brown favorites when on the go.

No matter where you’re headed, whether it’s a destination wedding or a family trip, you most likely want to be traveling with makeup. While traveling in general can be stressful, bringing your makeup along with you doesn’t have to be. Before traveling with your makeup, consider what looks you will want to wear and what products you will need, and it’s a good idea to pack makeup products together for convenience when you arrive at your destination. Bobbi Brown’s Mini Bar has all our favorites in travel sizes, making them easy to pack, simple to keep on you for quick touch-ups, and small enough to carry on flights. If you’re wondering what to pack in your makeup bag, we can help—just talk to one of our artists.

Deluxe-size sample makeup can refer to travel-size products designed for a limited time. Deluxe-size samples often include more product than a regular sample but are still small enough to travel with easily. That makes deluxe-size samples the perfect travel-size makeup because they contain more than a usual sample size while still meeting TSA carry-on requirements and taking up less room.

Whether you travel for business or pleasure, travel makeup essentials are easy-to-pack products that are part of your regular makeup routine. Some items you’ll want to place in your travel makeup bag are foundation, powder, blush, eye shadow, mascara, lipstick, and any tools you’ll need for a flawless, on-the-go application. Additionally, have travel-size skincare products like cleanser and moisturizer at the ready so you can keep your skin clean and hydrated as you travel.

The TSA has restrictions on the size of liquids that are allowed within carry-on luggage. Products containing liquid must be in containers with 3.4 ounces (100 ml) or less, and all stored within a one-quart clear, plastic bag. This guideline includes makeup, perfume, hair gel, and other items. Luckily, Bobbi Brown mini makeup products come in containers that are in the approved size or smaller, so taking them with you on an airplane is frustration-free.

When gifting makeup, consider curating a little makeup gift set from the Bobbi Brown mini makeup collection, also known as our Mini Bar . Our petite sizes are a perfect gift for someone who’s looking to try our multifaceted formulas. Plus, it means your gift will travel with ease. If you’re unsure what makeup to get for others, give an eGift card so they can choose for themselves, or chat with one of our experts today for suggestions.

First, when considering makeup looks for yourself, it’s good to know where and when you plan to wear them, as that dictates the kinds of looks and the types of products you’ll want to use. When you have an idea of what you’re looking for, the best way to find out what makeup look suits you is by experimenting yourself or connecting with our artists virtually or in person. You can visit the Bobbi Brown website 24/7 for tools that help you find the right products and let you explore makeup looks to try. With our Virtual Try-On tool, you can see yourself in various shades of our bestsellers, right on your screen. If you’d like some advice from a pro, Bobbi Brown artists are available to chat in real time and to meet one-on-one at a complimentary session , either online or in person. Also, when you’re ready to buy makeup for your new look, you can purchase many of our bestsellers in mini sizes, so you can try them out, see what you think, and then upgrade to full size if you like what you get.

Makeup Mogul Bobbi Brown Shares Tips for a First-Time Visit to Moscow

By Chantel Tattoli

“I’d dreamed of visiting for years,” says New York City –based Bobbi Brown about the country from which her and her husband’s grandparents hailed. This past summer, the couple, along with their 26-year-old son, Dylan, spent a week in Moscow and St. Petersburg. “Everyone told me St. Peters­burg was the city to see, but it was Moscow that I fell in love with. It was really vibrant, and a lot cooler than I thought it would be. Old and new are mixing in interesting ways.”

Like the health and wellness event Brown stumbled upon when she visited Fallen Monument Park, a graveyard for Soviet-era statues. “Alongside these relics of battered Stalins and massive Lenins were a bunch of hip young Russian yogis drinking spirulina smoothies—the scene was so surprising.” She toured must-sees like the Kremlin and St. Basil’s Cathedral and, in true Muscovite fashion, stayed up too late drinking vodka . And though Brown was only in Russia for a week, she felt an instant connection with the country. “I can’t fully explain it, but I had a real sense that these were my people.”

Herring with roast potatoes and pickled onions at Dr. Zhivago.

The Download

Home Base Brown stayed at the Four Seasons , the only hotel right off Red Square. In some cities you want the big-brand hotel, and Moscow is one of them. “Plus, the location is amazing—you can hear the Kremlin clock tower chime.”

Eat With its over-the-top red-and-white decor, Grand-Café Dr. Zhivago is a must, says Brown, as is the acclaimed White Rabbit , with its glass-domed ceiling: “The entrance is very dramatic. You take a series of industrial elevators inside a business complex to reach the restaurant on the sixteenth floor.”

Splurge “Take a tour of the Bolshoi Theater before catching a performance.” But don’t buy orchestra seats—those on the first level have the best views in the house. Travel specialists like Exeter International or Mir can arrange tours and tickets.

Bring Back Pick up caviar at Gastro­nom No. 1 in GUM , the city’s landmark shopping arcade, but limit yourself to a few jars. “Caviar expires pretty quickly—something I didn’t know until I got home. We were eating it in scrambled eggs for days!”

Bobbi Brown Shares Makeup Tip She Wants ‘Women of a Certain Age to Know’

• Bobbi Brown shares makeup tips for women over 30.
• The three tips are so simple and easy to try.
• Plus, she confides what she wants “women of a certain age” to know about shimmer.

Bobbi Brown’s makeup tips never disappoint. In fact, we’d venture to say that the Jones Road Beauty founder has never steered us wrong. Whether sharing the best products to use to feel confident or the “miracle” product she loves using in her “mid-60s,” she knows what’s on our minds. Now, the beauty pro reveals her best makeup tips for women over 30, including the one thing she wants “women of a certain age” to know—and it might surprise you.

Ahead, Brown shares her quick, simple tips for glowing skin and gorgeous makeup with Prevention .

Hydrate skin

First up is hydration. Brown always touts the importance of drinking water, but she also knows a good moisturizer does wonders for the skin. “Moisturize like crazy,” she says. Hydrating skin helps plump fine lines and primes your palette for makeup. Though she shared the drugstore moisturizer she’s a “fan” of , she also reaches for “ The Hippie Stick . But you could also put some of The Miracle Balm on. You could put it anywhere.”

Add glow all-over

Why stop at your face? She recommends applying Miracle Balm on your body (think chest, décollatage). And she wants women to lean into a bit of sparkle. “I think women think if you’re a certain age you can’t wear [shimmer],” Brown says. “The truth is you can—just don’t put it all over your face.” She says you can even try the Shimmer Face Oil , which she says is “beautiful.”

Spice things up with red

Though not a fan of red lipstick on herself, Brown loves a classic “ red nail .” She says it’s, “Very chic. Very Parisian.” If you want to try a red pout, opt for a red gloss or Lippie Stick for a subtle wash of color.

The 10 Best Makeup Brands, According to Pros and Beauty Editors

Plus, the must-try products from each

The Best Makeup Brands, According to Experts:

Bobbi Brown Cosmetics

However, knowing the best makeup brands doesn’t help narrow down which products are worth your coin, as one brand may be known for its stellar mascara while another is beloved for its shade-range selection. When it comes to picking products from each brand, makeup artist Kasey Spickard recommends a few different channels for discovery.

First, try in-store testing, if possible. “There’s still nothing like physically tying the products themselves,” Spickard says. Swatch the products on your hands and arms, assessing their texture, color payoff, durability, and wearability. Spickard also recommends conversing with the sales associates—who, he notes, have great knowledge they can share.

Secondly, consult your friends. “Use your social media and ask a question to your own community,” says Spickard. “I think that people forget to leverage social media in this way; I do this and get tons of recommendations on new products and product categories from my friends and family.”

Lastly, look to online platforms like TikTok and content creators to provide intel on what brands excel in certain product categories, suggests Spickard, who still uses apps all the time to get insight from both ordinary folks and fellow professionals. Try a targeted search—like: “best foundation for dry skin”—and you’ll likely get many videos, including expert advice from pros, like product formulators the Lipstick Lesbians or the brilliant historian and makeup artist Erin Parsons .

If all three of these options for discovery still leave questions in your mind, we’ve got you covered. We’ve nailed down the 10 best makeup brands below, and our favorite product to purchase time and time again from each one.

Chanel is a luxury brand that could easily rest on its laurels; instead, it is constantly innovating in the world of makeup artistry. The entire Chanel line is worth exploring, but one formula worth considering in particular is this light-to-medium coverage foundation, which features patented MicroFluidic Technology. The encapsulated micro-droplets of pigment suspended in a hydrating gel formula burst upon contact, delivering an instantly radiant, hydrating, and glowing look to the skin.

What experts are saying: “Chanel products are not only incredibly luxurious, but they’re also effective and made with world-class ingredients. This foundation is a must-try, but so are all the lipsticks, nail polishes, mascaras, I could go on…” — Jenna Rosenstein, beauty director

Featured item: Les Beiges Water-Fresh Tint

Dior is a force within the beauty industry and particularly in makeup, and out of all the brand’s heralded products, this palette stands out from the rest. Spickard says he uses this ingenious product on almost every one of his clients, noting that the palette lasts forever, the finish is perfect (not too metallic or glittery), and it’s endlessly versatile (great on any part of the face or body). “It provides this perfect glowing veil that I can’t get from any other glow face product,” he says.

What experts are saying: “I am obsessed with everything Dior makes. Peter Philips, the brand’s creative and image director, creates products that blend cutting-edge science with artistic performance and industry-leading sustainability. I used the palette shown here to the bottom of the pan, but I also love the foundations, mascaras, and every single lip product.” — JR

Featured item: Backstage Glow Face Palette

It’s hard to compile a list of the best beauty brands without including the namesake brand founded by legendary makeup artist Bobbi Brown in the early ’90s. Few products embody Brown’s spirit of natural, easy, and individual beauty like these corrector sticks, which Spickard describes as “essential.” The sticks seamlessly neutralize dark circles and brighten the face with just a few swipes. “They are user-friendly, the formula is creamy but not greasy, and they color correct beautifully,” says Spickard. One customer writes: “Holy Grail product alert! The Bobbi Brown Corrector Stick is the best thing I have found for lightening shadowy under eyes without looking like you have a ton of concealer on. If you want to brighten your under eye without caking and creasing, this is what you need!”

Featured item: Skin Corrector Stick

For over 150 years, Shiseido has been innovating from its Tokyo headquarters, creating a string of category firsts that have set new standards across the entire beauty industry. One such innovation is the brand’s foundations, particularly the new Synchro Skin Radiant Lifting Foundation, which Spickard describes as his holy-grail product. “It has a perfect medium coverage that can be built up to full coverage if you want, but can also be sheared down to a tint if you mix it with a little moisturizer,” he says. “It is also so durable. It will last a full day without cracking, separating, and breaking down, with its self-refreshing technology.”

One customer writes: “This foundation is that girl. I’m 47 and my skin is really dry and red. This is glowy and hydrating and full coverage.”

Featured item: Synchro Skin Radiant Lifting Foundation SPF 30

e.l.f. Cosmetics

There’s a reason every e.l.f. Cosmetics release instantly goes viral. The drugstore brand is one of the most affordable–yet efficacious–on the market. This might equate to less technology and innovation in some cases, but that couldn’t be further from the truth for e.l.f. products. The brand has a bevy of hits, but its Power Grip Primer stands out from the rest. The refreshing gel texture and hydrating formula (boosted with hyaluronic acid), keep skin glowing and makeup from budging all day long.

One customer writes: “I usually steer clear of gel or silicone-based primers, but this one allows my full-coverage foundations to last long with little to no breakdown throughout the long work day!”

Featured item: Power Grip Primer

Pat McGrath Labs

The beauty industry is blessed with many talented artists, but very few are mononymous, and only one is known as just “Pat.” Pat McGrath has revolutionized the makeup industry, and her eponymous line is no less revolutionary, particularly in the eye category, where the dimensions and silky feel are in a league of their own. “The shadow formulation is unmatched,” Spickard says. He finds himself consistently reaching for the Sunlit Seduction eye shadow palette, especially when he’s creating an ethereal goddess look for a client.

What experts are saying: “Just about every product from Pat McGrath Labs—from the vast range of eye shadow palettes to the viral blushes and lipsticks—is absolutely stunning, both in the pan and directly on the face. Even if you’re not a makeup pro, the brand’s range of essentials makes you feel like you could be.” — Tiffany Dodson, associate beauty commerce editor

Featured item: Mothership XI Eye Shadow Palette: Sunlit Seduction

Westman Atelier

In the few short years since its launch, Westman Atelier has already emerged as one of the best makeup brands out there, thanks to the ingenuity of its founder, Gucci Westman. Westman has been the go-to makeup artist for a long list of celebrity clients (including Anne Hathaway, Reese Witherspoon, and Gwyneth Paltrow) and is known for her supernatural dewy look. Now her line helps you achieve that Gucci glow from home. Among the absolute must-haves from Westman’s brilliant line are the creamy Baby Cheeks blushes, which have the “tiniest sheen to them that give you a fresh, dewy glow with only one product,” Spickard says. His go-to shades are Dou Dou and Petal, but all the highly pigmented hues are flattering.

What experts are saying: “When it comes to a professional-level barely-there makeup look or fresh-face finish, it’s hard to go wrong with staples from clean-beauty favorite Westman Atelier. Along with the brand’s Lit Up highlight stick, I always keep the Squeaky Clean lip balm in my personal makeup rotation.” — TD

Featured item: Baby Cheeks Lip + Cheek Cream Blush Stick

Makeup by Mario

To know Mario Dedivanovic is to love him. The artist came from humble beginnings—born and raised in the Bronx, he started as a Sephora fragrance consultant at 17 and charmingly used a beauty-filled Nike shoebox as a makeup kit while doing makeup for $25. Fast-forward through countless years of dedication and success to 2020, when Dedivanovic launched Makeup by Mario, which has already emerged as one of today’s most important makeup brands. Beyond beautiful matte lipsticks and plumping glosses, the lightweight, medium-coverage SurrealSkin Awakening Concealer is a showstopper.

“It’s the undertones. They really nailed the shade and undertone combos, and you can find your perfect match,” Spickard says. “I love that it’s a brand that is artistry first and built by a pro makeup artist, and you can tell the difference.”

What experts are saying: “Fans of Mario waited years and years for his eponymous makeup line—and it was worth it. The products perform at the highest level, whether you’re a newbie or a pro, and feature truly innovative formulas and an impressive shade range. The foundation and concealer are currently in my makeup bag and I use them almost every day.” — JR

Featured item: SurrealSkin Awakening Concealer

Danessa Myricks Beauty

Available in 50 shades, Colorfix has been an epiphany for the industry: highly pigmented, multipurpose, waterproof, and long-wearing. Designed by game-changing makeup artist Danessa Myricks, these cream formulas are a must-have. “You can use them as an eye shadow base, lip, cheek color, anything,” Spickard says. All Myricks’s products have this same level of customization and versatility. You simply can’t go wrong with any item from the brand. What experts are saying: “One could argue that Danessa Myricks is the unofficial queen of pigmented makeup. The brand’s Infinite Chrome Flakes take any eye look to the next level, and its highly popular Yummy Skin essentials make getting a flawless base a no-brainer.” — TD

Featured item: Colorfix

Over 100 years ago, Maybelline was created after its founder crafted a mascara by mixing ashes from a fire with Vaseline—and the rest, as they say, is history. The brand has countless hits, all with incredible price points, but Spickard is a fan of Maybelline’s lip glosses, especially the plumping iterations. “These glosses are affordable, have an amazing finish, and the shade range can’t be beat,” he says.

What experts are saying: “My job allows me to try endless amounts of makeup, but you can count on the fact that there is always something from Maybelline in rotation. The products are just so, so good—easy to use, affordable, trend-driven, and with performance and wear that rivals prestige makeup. I love all Maybelline mascaras, the new skin tints, and the plumping lip glosses, which can be found in the bottom of almost all my handbags.” — JR

One customer writes: “I have tried so many high-end branded lip plumpers and they never last this one BURNS for a good 10 minutes but it’s so worth it. leaves my lips super plump and juicy and lasts a loooong time!”

Featured item: Lifter Plump Lip Plumping Gloss

Bobbi Brown knows a thing or two about catering to women of all ages and skin tones. Eponymous beauty brand aside, her new(er) Jones Road line offers color cosmetics that genuinely fulfill different needs, whether that’s the perfect foundation to use if you’re over 50, or a highlighting balm that doubles up as a blush. Her products are multitasking and easy to apply on the go, which is why women love them—searches for them on Google have spiked over the last few months, proof of their internet power.

Jones Road’s latest launch—a new shade of The Brow Pencil in Gray —has had a great reception already. “I can’t believe the amount of interest,” Brown muses over the phone. “I knew that the gray shade fulfilled a need—we use a lot of silver-haired models and I had realized most of the brunette colors were a little bit too warm, so I was always trying to tone them down—but I didn’t quite realize how popular this simple thing would be.”

The Brow Pencil

If you’re someone with gray, black, deep brown, or silver hair—or simply need a cooler palette—this is the brow pencil for you. A chunky Crayola-style stick, don’t let the size put you off—it’s really easy to use. The larger size lends itself to creating full, feathery brows in seconds—and makes a good alternative to pencils that have a micro-tip. The formula is also waterproof.

It’s also great for those with sparse brows: “It’s an unusual formula because it has teeny fibers in it that help make your brows look thicker,” explains Brown. “I’ve never seen that in a pencil before. It’s fatter than most pencils, but still easier. I always start by taking light, feathery strokes on the inside of the brow, moving straight up, and then start following the brows along. When you’re done, use an eyebrow spoolie to blend it in, for a natural look.” And remember, no one has brows that look identical.

Segueing into a cooler-toned eyebrow pencil can be the difference between a totally natural effect and a face that looks “done” and as though it has been intentionally made up. Most of us want to look effortless, so finding the right tone of eyebrow pencil can make a huge difference.

Does Brown have any other tips for nailing makeup if you’re silver of hair? As well as swapping black eyeliner for navy or dark brown, she also says there is nothing prettier than a little pop of pink on the cheeks. “It brightens the whole face,” she says. “I always daub my bright pink Lip & Cheek Stick on.”
