Welcome to Expert’s Spotlight, a rotating feature at The Beauty Edit Gallery at Spatio. This series highlights leading dermatologists, editors, and creators—each sharing their trusted essentials and the philosophies behind them.
In an industry that never stops moving, Marj Ramos-Clemente has mastered the art of slowing down. As editor-in-chief of Preview and a journalist of over a decade, she’s lived through fashion weeks, beauty shoots, and digital deadlines—but these days, she’s as much about mindful living as she is about modern media.
“I’m learning how to balance the fast pace of digital publishing with slower, more intentional living at home,” she says. “Motherhood has definitely taught me that.”
Here, she curates a collection of travel-friendly essentials that help her look and feel her best, no matter where she is. Each piece in her kit reflects her thoughtful approach to beauty: edited, purposeful, and personal.
Marj’s Beauty in Transit Kit
Dala Dual-Ended Makeup Brushes
Why she loves it: “They’re compact, dual-ended, and versatile enough to do a full face with just a few tools.”
How she uses it: “They come in a slim zip bag that’s easy to pack. Since each brush is dual-ended, I only bring half of what I normally would.”
Where she reaches for it: “I’m pretty fuss-free when applying makeup—these cover all the essentials: foundation, blush, highlighter, and eyes.”
Travel role: Streamlined tools for a simplified, stress-free routine on the go.

How she uses it: “When I travel, I edit down to a toner, moisturizer, and one serum that works for both AM and PM.”
Where she reaches for it: “This gives me instant hydration—especially after a long day or flight.”

EB Daily Dose Flawless Filter SPF 60 PA++
Why she loves it: “When I entered my 30s, SPF became a non-negotiable. This doubles as a primer and sunscreen—it keeps things easy and fuss-free.”
How she uses it: “I apply it right after skincare. If I’m rushing, I skip foundation—it still gives that smooth, blurred finish.”
Where she reaches for it: “It’s lightweight and non-sticky, perfect for humid climates and long days.”
Travel role: Smart sun care that blurs, protects, and simplifies mornings.

Detail Cosmetics Superfine Brow Liner
Why she loves it: “I’m very particular with my brows—I could go out with just lipstick and groomed arches. This liner mimics real hair strands for a natural look.”
How she uses it: “I pair it with Maybelline’s Superlock brow gel—both are smudge-proof and long-wearing.”
Where she reaches for it: “Everywhere. My brows have to stay put, even in humidity or long travel days.”
Travel role: Precision in pencil form—because defined brows make any face feel finished.

How she uses it: “I layer it with a similar powder blush for longer wear.”
