Essence Make Me Brow Eyebrow Gel Mascara
Eyebrows are one of the most tedious makeup routines to do. Not only do you have to make them look almost symmetrical (sisters as they say) but you also have to shape them in a way to not make them look unnatural. Too much of a hassle to do, especially when you want to get ready quickly.
So, try Essence’s Make Me Brow Eyebrow Gel Mascara, it’s super quick and it colours them to make them look fuller without looking completely unnatural. Plus, with only a few strokes on each of your eyebrows, you’re basically done.

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer
There’re a lot of concealers out there on the market, but nothing can beat Maybelline’s Fit Me Concealer. One might say that it’s a dupe for NARS Creamy Radiant Concealer, but we’d say it’s a much better version. It’s creamier and easier to blend, regardless if you use a brush, a makeup sponge or even your fingers.
Also, what’s so good about this particular concealer is that it doesn’t even crease after a whole day of you going out and about with your day. One of the best concealers on the market, no joke.

The formulation of this eyeliner is virtually unmatched and unlike any other. Plus, with its precise tip, you can get that ideal swoop of your dreams with a few quick strokes. Not only that , this eyeliner dries completely matte, so if you’re a big fan of all things matte, then this eyeliner is literally made for you.

L’Oreal Lash Paradise Mascara
If you have Too Faced’s Better Than Sex Mascara, throw that away and get L’Oreal Lash Paradise Mascara instead. They’re basically the same mascara, from the packaging to the wand, but the differences are that the latter is much better and cheaper.
It’ll make your lashes look super full and voluminous with just a few coats. Take it from me since I have baby-length lashes and this mascara makes it look like I was born with long eyelashes. The best mascara in the game and at an affordable price too – a steal, if you ask me.
