7 beauty products to complete your make-up kit




We list the 7 essential beauty must-haves in your make-up kit, and why you need them.

Make-up is every woman’s best friend (after diamonds, of course). It gives your face definition and mutes your imperfections.

If you apply make-up every day, you must already have a fully stocked make-up bag. But if you’re thinking of having one, these are the 7 essential beauty products you should put in it:

Cleanser. This is a surprising addition – or so most women feel – but a cleanser also serves the purpose of removing make-up. Not only does it keep the skin clear of dead cells, dirt and oil, it also removes make-up after you get home. You can use cleanser to correct make-up applied wrongly – just a quick swipe with a cotton bud will do.

Hydrating serum. Once your skin is cleaned, and before you apply concealer and foundation, lightly tap hydrating serum into the skin. The serum is quickly absorbed and it penetrates deep into the tissues to promote hydration, aid cellular repair and also remove dead skin cells. The skin becomes more radiant and elastic, and is able to stave off signs of ageing much better. Remember, make-up cannot adequately hide acne, so it is better to have good skin instead of relying entirely on makeup to do the job.

Concealer. This is the most important beauty product in your make-up kit. It is designed to conceal all the flaws in the skin – bumps and depressions, acne scars, uneven skin tone, and other factors that mar your complexion. Apply it on the problem areas and wait for a couple of minutes for the product to settle.

Foundation. After the concealer, apply foundation. The foundation should exactly match your skin tone – too light, and it will look clownish, too dark and it will look dull. Many women suffer from acne breakouts after using foundation. Oil-based foundation causes the problem of clogged pores and acne. Instead, use a powder foundation that is easier to remove, and which sits on the skin lightly. Or you can look for a light water-based foundation.

Lip gloss. This one’s an essential beauty product for every woman. Lip gloss keeps your lips from chapping. The skin on the lips is very thin, so it gets dry and breaks quite easily. You can use a tinted lip gloss or lip balm over your lipstick. Make sure to replenish the gloss every time you feel that your lips have gone dry.

Liquid eyeliner. Eyeliner accentuates your lovely eyes and makes them immediately noticeable. Though most women use pencil kohl because it is more convenient, it is better to use liquid eyeliner. Liquid eyeliner is easy to remove and also easy to apply, once you get used to it. The best eyeliners comprise Vitamin E, which make the lashes longer and thicker.


Mascara. This is another essential beauty product – have you ever tried applying mascara without eyeliner? Longer, darker lashes that frame your eyes make them look stunning. They also give your eyes a fresh look. But be sure to remove mascara carefully at the end of the day, or it will clot and the particles will enter your eyes.
