3. Fancy Face Negroni Cream Blush
A good blush can transform your whole look, and the Negroni cream blush from Fancy Face is one of our absolute favourites. This vibrant yet buildable shade delivers a healthy, flushed glow that mimics the look of a perfect sunny day. The creamy texture blends effortlessly into the skin, making it perfect for both makeup pros and novices. Plus, its multitasking formula can double as a lip tint, making it a must-have for anyone on the go.
4. Chanel Le Volume de Chanel Waterproof Mascara
If bold, dramatic lashes are what you’re after, look no further. This waterproof mascara delivers unparalleled volume and lift, staying smudge-free through long days and even longer nights. It’s a staple in our makeup bags, perfect for events or everyday wear. The precision brush ensures every lash gets coated, leaving you with a luxurious, full-lash effect.
5. VivierSkin Lexxel
For sensitive or dry skin, this moisturizer is a game-changer. Its hypoallergenic formula soothes and hydrates without clogging pores, making it a favourite for anyone seeking a lightweight yet deeply moisturizing product. Packed with vitamins and antioxidants, Lexxel is perfect for daily use, leaving your skin calm, balanced, and radiant.
6. Kosas Air Brow Clear + Clean Lifting Treatment Eyebrow Gel
When it comes to brow gel, it feels like there’s a new option every day. But if you’re looking for a solid, non-flaking staple, the Kosas clear eyebrow gel is for you! Not only does it have a killer staying power, but it’s not too sticky, or too goopy for everyday use.
In 2025, let’s lock in those eyebrows!
7. Sephora Retractable Rouge Gel Lip Liner
This is a great, affordable lip liner that is smooth, creamy and has pretty great staying power. But the reason it’s SO terrific is because it comes in a wide selection of colours, including the perfect cool-tone nude. Not too pink, not too brown, and definitely not too orange. The Nudest is a beautiful, cool, creamy tone that sits perfectly under any lip product! From lip gloss to lipstick or even simply lip chap, it’s a natural colour for everyday wear.
8. CeraVe Ultra-Light Moisturizing Gel
When CeraVe initially started to make waves online, maybe you didn’t buy into the hype. We’re here to tell you, it’s so worth it. CeraVe moisturizing gel is exactly as advertised: it’s ultra light, fast absorbing and immediately leaves your skin feeling hydrated. It’s not sticky, has no scent and sits beautifully under makeup.
