The Makeup Products We'll Never Grow Tired Of!
There are so many makeup brands on the market, that it can make even the most experienced beauty enthusiast a head spin. The good news is that there are more products and formulations available than ever before with a formulation for everybody!
These are the makeup products that are truly timeless, and have firmly cemented themselves as perennial cult-classics.
NARS Blush - Orgasm
Nars Blush in Orgasm first launched in 1999, but remains the best-selling blush. Founder Francois Nars intentionally chose the attention-grabbing name, though it’s the iconic, universally-flattering colour—the perfect blend of peach and pink—that earned it a spot in so many women’s bags, and spawned off countless of other Orgasm iterations.
Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation
Arguably one of the most iconic foundation products of all time, there’s a good reason why Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation is a true cult classic. A staple for pro makeup artists and devoted customers alike. It’s surprisingly versatile, easily sheered out, or built-up depending on how you apply it, though always delivers a velvety-yet-radiant finish.
Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Ultra Light Skin Perfecting Makeup SPF15
If you’re only going to try one Chanel product, make it Vitalumiere Aqua Ultra-Light Skin Perfecting Makeup SPF 15. A liquid formula with a water-like texture, it imparts plenty of hydration, subtle coverage, and leaves skin with a beautiful natural glow, an ideal foundation for foundation haters. Make sure to give it a good shake prior to using it.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade
Dipbrow Pomade earns top marks for both sculpting and filling in brows for that perfectly-defined look. It’s smudge-free and waterproof, choice for those with oily skin and/or to use on hot, humid days, and comes in an array colours.
L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara
You can’t go wrong with Voluminous Original Mascara, which makes lashes look up to five times thicker and never clumps. The tried-and-true pick also contains plenty of conditioning ingredients so you get some extra benefits and is a staple for many pro makeup artists.
Christian Dior Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil
Think of this lip oil as a stain gloss-balm hybrid. It does it all, thanks to the cherry oil swirling around in the formula. Swipe it on and you'll immediately notice how it hydrates your lips, leaving behind a glossy finish and a hint of colour.
Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution - Pillow Talk
What started out as a best-selling lip liner soon turned into a much-loved lipstick due to popular demand. It's a soft, nude-pink that lends lips a natural, creamy finish. Its undoubtedly earned cult status!
BeautyBlender BeautyBlender - Pro (Black)
When this elliptical shape sponge hit the market it literally changed the face of the industry. Reusable and easy to clean, it waves goodbye to the streaky lines of traditional brushes.
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Natural Skin Perfector SPF 30
The original formula was well loved by all, but the brand shook things up by releasing a new and improved formula. Luckily, we have nothing but great things to say about Laura Mercier's 2.0 tinted moisturiser (which features a lighter texture, expanded shade range, and higher SPF) so if you haven't tried it yet, get ready to meet your new skin!
MAC Retro Matte Lipstick - Ruby Woo
We are yet to meet someone who doesn't approve of this classic red nourishing matte lipstick.
