A Multi-Tasking Compact is a Must

Another must-have in your makeup kit is a Compact. Compact is a versatile, multi-tasking product that can work as a quick base as well as a setting powder. If you’re in a rush, you can simply use some compact for an even finish on the face and skip the foundation. Whether you want an even looking skin, or a quick touch-up, compact is your absolute go to product. Remember, while buying a compact, choose one that is hydrating and can also be used with a wet sponge. Otherwise, compacts can give a super matter or flaky look.

Something to Get Your Eyes Talking

Now that you’ve got your base covered, let’s get down to the eyes. A kajal or a liner is one the major makeup kit must-haves for a quick pick me up post classes or work. You can carry either both or any one that suits you best. When you apply concealer and compact, your eyes tend to look washed out. Liner or kajal will instantly add some drama to your look. And these products too, are super versatile. You can either go for a simple thin layer of kajal on your lower water line.

Find a mascara that is not clumpy, gives your lashes volume and an instant life and doesn’t leave any residue once removed. And of course, choose one that is waterproof, for obvious reasons!

A Cheek And Lip Tint for a no Makeup-Makeup Look

When you’re in your twenties, you’re always on the go and want shortcuts for everything. A cheek and lip tint is a super effective hack when it comes to easy and quick makeup.

Makeup is full of harmful chemicals, which if applied for a long time, can severely harm your skin. When you’re in your twenties, it’s extremely important that you nourish and protect your skin to avoid early signs of ageing. Remember, don’t use a makeup remover that has too much alcohol content. Find one that is hydrating and is either cream based or oil based.

That will help keep your skin healthy and firm in the longer run.
