5 Basic Makeup Essentials.

When it comes to college/school makeup, we have learnt from our experience that less is always more. You want to look as naturally pretty as possible and not look like a drag queen. But that doesn’t mean you can’t wear makeup, it just means that you need to be smart in choosing which makeup to use in order to enhance your features without looking like you spent hours getting ready.

Here’s a list of everyday makeup essentials we have put together, for you to have them on your checklist. This post will include only the basics and only the essentials that the girls require, and are easily available, therefore – no primer and no makeup fixer mist. Let’s check out the must-have makeup essentials:

Tinted Moisturizer.

A moisturizer that also offers coverage is a great way to cut down on the clutter. Tinted moisturizer is our go-to face product because it nourishes your skin while adding coverage to imperfections. Foundation can sometimes be a bit too heavy and powder a bit too dry, and that’s where tinted moisturizer comes in. During the day it’s perfect to wear alone and be done with it.

Anushka's moisturizer recommendation- Cetaphil Dam Moisturiser, DailyAdvance Ultra Hydrating Lotion

Compact Powder.

Using a compact powder if You have oily or combination skin will instantly give you the perfect matte finish. Lightly brush on a compact powder to stop yourself from looking like a grease ball through the day. Also carry a compact powder with you for touch up’s. Don’t forget to carry tissue papers/blotting papers if you have extremely oily skin.

Eye pencil.

One of the simplest and easiest way to make your eyes pop without looking too madeup is by using a eyeliner. We love black khol liners, It's our go-to makeup essential in college. If you are bored with black eyeliners then you can break the routine once a week with a colored eyeliner.

Mascara
