Must have makeup 💄

items I’ve been trying to keep my makeup simple and easy, so these are just a few products I actually use and keep going back to. Nothing too heavy or complicated just basics that help me look a bit more put together without spending too much time.
Budget-Friendly: Priced around $5, this mascara offers value comparable to higher-end brands. Water Resistance: While experiences vary, some users find it holds up well against moisture. Cruelty-Free and Vegan: The product is both cruelty-free and ve...
Essence mascara
Essence’s gel nail polish line delivers a glossy, gel-like shine without requiring a UV lamp. The “color crush” technology ensures vibrant, high-intensity color and coverage, providing a professional look at home. Priced around $2–$3 per bottle, Esse...
Nail Polish
Not gonna lie, I didn’t expect this to make such a difference, but it instantly makes your lips look smoother and naturally glossy. It’s not sticky at all and feels really comfortable throughout the day.
What I love most is that it gives that effortl...
DIOR Lip Glow Oil Hydrating High-Shine Gloss - Sephora
I like this tint mainly because of how natural it looks. It gives a really subtle, fresh color that doesn’t feel heavy at all. The only thing is that it dries pretty quickly, so you have to blend it fast or it can look a bit uneven. It’s also not ver...
Benetint Cheek & Lip Stain | Benefit Cosmetics
I’ve been using this blush for a while and I do like it, but it took me a bit to get used to it. It’s very pigmented, so if you apply too much it can look a little intense at first. Once you figure out how much to use, it blends nicely and gives a re...
Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Soft Pinch Liquid Blush - Sephora
This concealer has a really nice texture and blends easily into the skin. The coverage is good without looking too heavy, but I did notice that if my skin is dry or not prepped well, it can crease a bit under the eyes. When I moisturize properly befo...
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer with Hydrating Medium Coverage
I also started using brow gel more often and it actually changes the whole look in a subtle way.
Anastasia Beverly Hills - Brow Freeze Gel | Ulta Beauty
I don’t like heavy foundation, so this one works well for me. It evens out my skin tone without feeling too much on the skin. It’s not full coverage, but for everyday use it looks pretty natural and comfortable.
N3 Neutral Light Medium True Match Super-Blendable Foundation
I like this mainly because the color looks good for everyday. It’s matte, so it can feel a bit dry after a while, but it stays on longer than most lip პროდუქტები. I usually add a bit of balm with it.
MAC M·A·Cximal Silky Matte Lipstick - Ulta Beauty
I’m not the best at eyeliner, but this one is actually easier to use than I expected. The tip is precise and helps with small lines. It’s not perfect every time, but it does the job for a simple look.
NYX Professional Makeup Epic Ink Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner
I’m not really into super shiny highlighters, but this one gives more of a soft glow. It looks natural in daylight and doesn’t feel too much. I usually use just a small amount and it’s enough.
Positive Light Liquid Luminizer Highlight - Rare Beauty by Selena ...
I started using this mostly at night, but sometimes during the day too. It feels really nice on the lips and helps when they’re dry, but it’s not something magical. Still, I notice my lips feel smoother when I use it regularly.
Lip Sleeping Mask Nourish & Hydrate - Laneige
I didn’t always use primer, but this one actually makes a difference. My makeup sits a bit better and lasts longer. It feels slightly sticky at first, which I guess helps with grip, but you get used to it.
Power Grip Primer | E.L.F. COSMETICS ≡ SEPHORA
I like this for quick contour because it’s easy to apply and doesn’t take much time. It blends okay, but you have to work a bit fast. It’s good for simple definition, not super sharp contour.
FENTY BEAUTY by Rihanna Match Stix Contour Skinstick
This is one of those easy products you can use without thinking too much. It’s comfortable, not too sticky, and gives a nice shine. It doesn’t last super long, but for the price it’s actually really good.
NYX Professional Makeup Butter Gloss Non-Sticky Lip Gloss
I use this mostly to finish my makeup and make everything look less powdery. It doesn’t lock everything in place like a super strong setting spray, but it gives a more natural, skin-like finish.
Fix+ | Makeup Setting Spray
This is something I keep in my bag for quick touch-ups. It helps reduce shine and smooth things out a bit, but if you use too much it can look slightly dry. For everyday use, it’s pretty reliable.
105 Fair Ivory Fit Me Matte + Poreless Powder - Maybelline
I’ve been using lip liner more lately and it actually makes a difference. It shapes the lips and makes everything look more put together. I usually pair it with a gloss for a simple everyday look.
Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Long-Lasting Waterproof Lip Liner
I didn’t expect much from a lash curler, but this actually makes a difference. It lifts the lashes nicely and makes mascara look better. You just have to be a bit careful when using it.
Shiseido - Eyelash Curler | Ulta Beauty
I kept seeing this everywhere on TikTok so I tried it. It feels really smooth on the lips and looks natural, but it’s more about the shine than long-lasting hydration. I still reach for it often.
peptide lip treatment - unscented - Rhode Skin
This tint is very simple but pretty. The color looks natural on the lips and it’s easy to wear every day. It doesn’t stay super long, but I like that it doesn’t feel heavy or dry.
peptide lip tint - ribbon - Rhode Skin
I didn’t really understand the hype at first, but this feels nice on the skin. It gives a slight glow and makes my skin feel more hydrated. It’s not a dramatic change, more like a soft skincare step.
glazing milk | rhode skin
This blush is really easy to use and blends quickly with fingers. The color is soft and natural, but you can build it up if you want more intensity. It’s good for quick everyday makeup.
pocket blush - piggy | rhode skin
I kept seeing this powder everywhere, so I decided to try it. It definitely makes the skin look smoother and a bit more blurred, especially in photos. It feels lightweight, but I noticed if my skin is dry it can show that a bit more. I don’t use a lo...
Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder: 2 Medium - Charlotte Tilbury
saw this brow pencil recommended a lot and wanted to try it. It’s actually really precise, so it helps fill in small gaps without making brows look too heavy. It takes a bit of practice to get the shape right, but once you do, it looks very natural a...
1 Precisely, My Brow Pencil Waterproof Eyebrow Definer - Ulta Beauty
I didn’t expect much from this at first, but it actually gives a soft volume and makes lashes look more lifted. It’s easy to apply and works well for a natural everyday look.
L'Oréal Voluminous Lash Paradise Volume Mascara - Ulta Beauty
