Makeup is not only about looking picture-perfect, it’s also about enhancing your beauty with minimal effort. Any flawless look starts with the kind of makeup you use. With the festivals here, you are going to be taking selfies and photographs all day long, here’s a pick of top make up favourites – all on budget – to keep you looking gorgeous through the festivities.
Primer
A primer is super important to your makeup routine. It’s all about creating a blank, workable canvas. The primer by Too Faced Cosmetics is an excellent choice. It’s hydrating, smoothening and brightening to give you a healthy-looking finish. Loved by many millennials worldwide, Hangover Face Primer helps boost the skin’s radiance and locks down makeup for a longer, fresher wear. It is also silicone-free and works on all skin types!
Foundation
The Maybelline Fit Me has been loved as the foundation but a new launch by Maybelline is giving some renowned brands a run for their money. The Super Stay Full Coverage Foundation is a matte, long-lasting formula that doesn›t need too much effort to blend and smoothen. It doesn›t dry the skin out and works great with all skin types, even acne-prone, and sensitive skins.
Concealer & Correctors
Every makeup artist swears by this product. Concealers are a must, while correctors can aid in a more even look. The L.A. Girl Pro Conceal HD is a fan favourite because of the vast range it offers, the long-lasting formula which is crease proof and lightweight, and it easily camouflages dark under eye areas, redness and imperfections.
Powders
Powders are essential for any makeup routine. Now whether you choose a loose powder or a pressed one, it’s completely up to you. But if you understand the technique of baking, then loose powders work best. Pressed powders are great if you are looking for a quick way to set your concealer and foundation. The Baking Banana Powder by Makeup Revolution is a cult classic. It is a warm, light yellow colour that works best on wheatish and dusky skin tones.
Bronzer
One of the oldest, most revered and loved bronzers of the world, the Benefit Cosmetic Hoola Matte Bronzer Mini gives a sun-kissed glow, with a very natural-looking contour to your face. For a nice, tanned look, all year round, this is the bronzer to buy.
Blush
The recent trend of ‘soft glam’ has led to makeup that comes with a touch of illuminating shimmer. The Lakme Absolute Illuminating Blush Shimmer Brick created by designer Sabyasachi offers the best colour payoff. The shimmer is not too harsh but enough to give you a glossy sheen and make you shine.
Eyebrow Enhancers
We all want the perfect brows. It’s almost an art that takes time and practice, and the right eyebrow pencil. The Innisfree Auto Eyebrow Pencil is a favourite being easy to use and giving a very natural coverage.
Eyeshadow
The Huda Beauty Rose Gold Palette Remastered is the ideal eyeshadow palette with perfect colours to pull off looks that range from smokey eyes to subtle glitter. The eyeshadows have intense pigments and blend beautifully.
Kajal & Eyeliner
Kajals and eyeliners are a favourite passed down the generations. From dark kohl-lined eyes, to ‘on fleek’ cat-eye shaped liners, the recently launched, Katrina Kaif’s Kay Beauty has delivered the kajal of the year. With intense colour and smudge-proof formula, the Kay Beauty Kajal is a gel formula that will last through long-hours without a budge.
Mascara
Not a single look is complete without great eyelashes. L’Oreal’s Lash Paradise Mascara is an amazing product that not only adds volume to your lashes but also lengthens them. This volumizing and lengthening mascara delivers a full lash fringe that’s feathery soft with no flaking, no smudging, and no clumping.
Lips Colors
From bold, dark lip colours to natural nudes, lip products come in all textures and density. It has become a go-to makeup product to add a nourished glow to the face. From lip glosses that plump the lips to matte crayons that last long and stay true to their colour, MAC never fails to disappoint.
Setting Spray
A good setting spray locks all makeup in s place and makes it last longer and eliminates any chances of it getting blotchy or uneven. The PAC Micro Finish Makeup Fixer is leagues apart from regular setting sprays.
Nail Paints
The O.P.I Nail Lacquer is internationally known for having the best nail polish in the world, and we agree. If you are looking for that beautiful colour for your nails after a manicure, this is the brand!
