Before Your Trip:
- Waterproof mascara is tricky, usually clumpy and difficult to remove. If your eyelashes are naturally blonde or light brown, consider going to a reputable salon for lash tinting. For around $20, a lash tint will stay on for 3-5 weeks and add definition and drama to flaxen lashes.
During Your Trip:
- Complete your I'm-on-holiday look with spring's vibrant color trends on your cheeks, lips, and eyes. "Coral is a gorgeous color for spring that is so flattering on all skin tones!" raves PIXI creator Petra Strand. Try Succulent Lip Twin in Coral (Target, $18), a multipurpose balm that adds a long-lasting stain to cheeks and lips. "Oozing with goodies like mango seed, jojoba, lavender—it is literally edible," adds Strand.
- Whether it's time to hit the sand or walk through town, Strand favors an early-Brigitte Bardot look of luminous skin, sun-kissed cheeks, and dark lashes. Illuminate Tint & Conceal (Target, $30), a waterproof oil-free moisturizer and full coverage concealer, creates a radiant complexion while saving space in your bag. Sheer Cheek Gel (Target, $18) is water resistant, so it goes the distance. "I rub a little into the apples of my cheeks in Sun-Kissed for a barely-there tan effect and even use on my lips for a subtle tint of color," reveals Strand.

- As the sun sets and you get ready to go out, you want to look seductive and fresh—a full face of makeup will look jarring in any vacay setting. "Skin should be sheer and glowing with a hint of sun-kissed glamour and lips juicy," says PIXI creator Petra Strand. "Play up succulent lips with a nude tone and really work the eyes, keep the lid color to a minimum but work in an intense pop of color at the lash line and under the eyes. Use a breakout color like teal and smoke it up with a little touch of black on the outer corner."
