Building a makeup bag from scratch takes a lot of effort, research, and understanding of your skin and features. Some essential makeup products can make or break the way you look. Your entire look is dependent on the products that you end up using. So, what are those ‘magical’ additions that can elevate your make-up bag? Here are some products that we suggest.

Versatile concealer:

Invest in a high-quality concealer that matches your skin tone. Perfect for covering blemishes and brightening under-eye areas, a versatile concealer is a makeup bag essential for a flawless finish to any makeup look.

Statement lipstick:

Add a pop of colour with a statement lipstick. Whether it's a bold red, a subtle nude, or a rusty brown, a standout lipstick instantly elevates your look, taking it from casual to chic. A good quality, matt lipstick is good to go for day looks as well as evening looks.

Quality makeup brushes:

Good brushes are the unsung heroes of makeup application. People tend to undermine the use of brushes in creating a beautiful flawless look, but blending is the key to getting your makeup right every time. Invest in a set of quality brushes for seamless blending, precise application, and a professional finish.

Setting spray:

After you have finished doing your makeup, what you need is a long-lasting look. Lock in your makeup with a setting spray. Not only does it keep your makeup in place throughout the day, but it also enhances longevity and adds a natural dewiness for a polished appearance. In the dry winters and humid summers of India, setting spray is your saviour.

Highlighter:

Enhance your features with a good highlighter. Whether in powder, liquid, or stick form, a highlighter adds a soft, shiny glow to your cheekbones, brow bones, and the bridge of your nose, making you look radiant. The best highlighter is just a shade darker than your skin tone.

Cheek tint:

A liquid cheek tint gives you that delicate, feminine look without looking like you have caked up your face. Apply a highlighter on top of your cheek tint to get a rosy glow and make heads turn everywhere. You can also use your cheek tint as a lip tint and balance out the look.
