Beauty Items Every Woman Must Own

There is always room for hot new beauty products. Almost every make-up geek will vouch for that. But if you are looking to narrow down your beauty shopping list, we’ve got you some help. The listed make-up pieces will ensure you get the desired look for every occasion with minimal fuss. When you're living in a dorm and tight on space, not to mention cash and time, streamlining your beauty routine is essential. The good news is you don't need tons of products to look your best on campus this year. Save time, money and space by narrowing it down to these hair, makeup and skincare essentials.

Makeup shopping can be overwhelming and we all have that drawer full of stuff we never use, cluttering up our bathroom. I like to call it the makeup graveyard. The problem is this: You walk into Sephora, or Ulta, or even a drugstore, without a plan. You browse around and purchase things that you are visually attracted to, like that pretty eyeshadow palette, or shimmering pink blush. Although they are beautiful in the store, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they will work you.

Lip Plumper

A lip-plumper is your go-to product if you have a thing for those perfectly pout-o-licious selfies. Known to offer bee-stung, enviable lips by making them look fuller, a lip-plumper is among my personal favourites. Apply it just 3-5 minutes before wearing a lip-colour and you are good to go.

Gel Based Primers

Priming is imperative for perfecting your make-up. Using a matte-fying, gel-based primer is recommended to fill in all the pores and pits of your face so your face appears smoother and is ready for perfect base-application. The silicone component in the primer ensures your make-up lasts longer. It also enables skin to remain shine-free and super-glossy all-day-long.

DD Cream

Damage Delay (DD) cream has antiwrinkle properties and is a boon for women in their 20s; it provides that much-needed coverage to camouflage all flaws of mature skin. What’s more: it restores skin-elasticity through a speedy cell-regeneration process. A cream that knows all about your skin; bring it on!

Light Diffusing Concealer

Use that light-diffusing pen concealer to your benefit if those dark circles won’t leave you alone. This concealer comes in a penshape which makes for easy application. It diffuses light and creates an illusion of brightened skin–making it a perfect fix for camouflaging dark-spots, wrinkles, darkcircles, puffy eyes and more.

Gel Eyeliner

Achieving those winged, geometric and graphic eyes is no easy task. What you need to perfect the look is a shake-free, smudge-proof eyeliner. Make the gel eyeliner your best friend. It is long-lasting, clean and dark at the same time.

Lash Fibers

Lush, voluminous lashes will never go out of fashion. These volume- and length-boosting eyelash enhancers instantly double the intensity of eyelashes sans any mascara. What’s more, they are easy to stick on to natural lashes making it a cool bet for girls with thin and light lashes.

Make Up Sealer

Unless you’re someone who likes smudged make-up, this product will come as wow-worthy to you. The make-up sealers will let your make-up stay intact from the time you wear it till the time you take it off. Now, isn’t this one for keeps!

EE Cream

A super multi-tasker, EE creams are aimed at removing hyper pigmentation and dark spots of the facial skin making way for smooth and even tone in a jiffy. The minute colour-correcting pigments in it work as a primer, moisturiser, sunscreen and foundation. Certainly, a must-have for all your make-up woes.

Long Stay Lip Color

Bring on the best of your lip game tricks by slathering on hot, poppy shades of long-stay lipstick that can survive even the most foody meal session. Not only this, when infused with high-shine glosses, they allow you to ditch separate glosses.

Gel Eyeshadow

These can work wonders when it comes to adding an element of sass to your look. These eyeshadows are easy to apply, blend easily and the highly-pigmented eyeshadows are available in a wide range of colours. That they have a hydrating effect on the skin is an added bonus too. Apart from being long-lasting, they are smudge-proof too.

Lip Cheek Stain

This multi-purpose item can act as a blush to lend some warmth to your cheeks and to your lips as well. Comes in handy for those who aren’t fond of carrying too many make-up products.
