Beauty Editor Approved My Top 3 Must-Have Makeup Products from Trying 30 in the Last Month

Makeup Must-Haves: The Good, The Glamorous, and The Goat-ly

We all know that testing makeup can be a delightfully messy affair. But in the month of October, things took a turn for the glamorous. I may not have been out on the town like I usually am, but that didn’t stop me from playing with more makeup than some people even own. In fact, I got to try 30 fabulous products, three of which have now become permanent stars in my makeup wardrobe. Strap in, fashionistas, because I’m about to spill the tea on these makeup must-haves.

1. Glossier Stretch Fluid Foundation: The Skin Saviour

Imagine a foundation so good that it’s like a magic eraser for all your skin imperfections. Well, I finally found it, my lovelies. Glossier’s Stretch Fluid Foundation may be the first Glossier makeup product that has truly caught my attention. And trust me, I’ve tried them all. This foundation is so phenomenal that it’s practically art in a bottle.

Let me break it down for you. With the help of squalane and glycerin, this foundation is a hydrating dream. It glides onto my skin effortlessly, delivering a seamless and natural finish that feels like a fairy godmother’s touch. It tackles dry spots, camouflages dark spots, and bids farewell to redness. Plus, it doesn’t settle into pores or leave you looking like an oily disco ball. It’s so good that I don’t need any other makeup products for touch-ups. Talk about a one-and-done operation!

2. About-Face Smokesticks Eyeshadow: Smokey Eyes Made Easy

Now, we all know that achieving a killer smokey eye takes skill, time, and a whole lot of blending. But let’s be real here, who has the time or patience for that? Certainly not me. But fear not, my lovelies, because About-Face has come to our rescue with their Smokesticks eyeshadow sticks.

These magical sticks come in six stunning shades—black, brown, terracotta, purple, green, and blue—and are dual-ended wonders. On one side, you’ll find a creamy opaque pigment, and on the other, a diffused powder through a sponge applicator. It’s like having a makeup artist handy in a cute little package.

For a quick and classic smokey eye, here’s what you do: Use the cream shadow end closest to your eyes (don’t hold back, go bold!). Then, take the powder sponge end and blend it out towards your lids. Voila! You’ve just created smokey eye perfection in a mere 60 seconds. Brigitte Bardot would be proud.

3. Dionis Goat Butter Lip Mask: The Lip-licious Secret

Now, I know what you’re thinking—a lip mask is not technically a makeup product. But trust me, darlings, when I say that this little lip secret is worth its weight in gold. Dionis Goat Butter Lip Mask is the ultimate multitasker, serving both our skincare and makeup needs in one delightful package.

As a skincare product, this lip mask is a dream come true. With the nourishing power of goat milk, jojoba, and moringa oil, it’s like an oasis for our lips. It’s thick, silky, and not a single bit sticky. I sometimes have to resist the urge to apply it all day because it just feels that incredible. It’s like a spa treatment for your lips, and who doesn’t love a little luxury?

But here’s the makeup magic: this lip mask is so glossy that it creates the illusion of fuller, juicier lips. Trust me, you won’t need any lip gloss when you have this baby on hand. It’s the secret weapon for a perfect pout.

So there you have it, my fashionistas. Three makeup must-haves that will have your beauty game on point. Whether you’re looking for flawless skin, smokey eyes in a flash, or luscious lips, these products have got you covered.

Now it’s over to you! Have you tried any of these fabulous products? Let me know in the comments below. And remember, darlings, when it comes to makeup, always be fierce and have fun!
