Basic Makeup Necessities for Work/Everyday

This is a lengthy post ...
I wanted to write this post for quite sometime but then i was hesitant because i would never call myself a Makeup Geek ...

But now i know at least what are the basic things..
so here it goes

Moisturiser - indeed a good moisturiser
I would always recommend a tinted moisturiser
Suggestion :My HG tinted moisturiser is Ponds age miracle
Price Rs.212


Compact - pressed powder
Suggestion: I use either Colorbar Time plus compact or Maybelline UV whitestay
Price : both are price Rs.150





Kajal - it defines your eyes

Suggestion: Lakme Black Satin kajal or Lotus Herbal Kajal
Price : both are Rs.150 i guess




Eye liner
You can either choose Liquid liner or a gel liner
Suggestion : Iam using Lakme insta eyeliner price Rs: less than 50
and Maybelline Gel liner for Rs.325





Mascara -
I would say this is optional but then if you wear it the rightway..it will open up your eyes

Suggestion : Maybelline colossal volume mascaraPrice Rs.275 i guess not sure :p



Blush - This is optional
You can use blush to office...yes u heard it right
Take the right amount to get the subtle glow

Suggestion : Colorbar Blushes Rs.250Just earth and peachy rose


Lipstick or a Tinted lipbalm

Suggestion: Nivea Tinted lipbalms Rs.125 or Maybelline Lippies in Neutral shades like my mahagony




Hope this helps...
Please let me know what you use for your everyday makeup

Love,
Varshini

    hi varshini.whta u have posted is exactly my everyday products. i use ponds TM but nowadays am using lotus 3 in 1 matte sunscreen. I love it because with this i dont need any compact powder to set . it s absolutely matte. but I hate maybelline whitestay. that gives whitish cast . i ve tried nude ivory everything . but hated it. threw two sets of compacts.
    currently using lotus compact. elegant and chic it is.
    i dont use blushes mascara again maybelline collosal, kajal klotus kajal lower line revlon kajal too eye liner I use maybelline gel liner. simply love it.
