But with popPRETTY’s list of the best mascara products for your money, we’re sure you’ll find the best one to match your eyelash needs!

Makeup Must-haves for "It" Girls



Whether you’re a pro or just starting to explore the wonderful world of makeup, we’ll give you a rundown on the list of makeup you should always have in your purse.

Dior Forever Foundation


1. Tinted Moisturizer/Foundation
Tinted moisturizer, especially those with SPF for UV protection, easily hides minor skin imperfections and even out your skin tone. For everyday wear, you can use tinted moisturizer as this gives a more natural look over foundation.

For extra coverage however, use foundation and blend it on your skin. Make sure to ask the help of the sales clerk or a beauty professional whenever you can. This will help choosing the perfect shade of foundation for you that will complement your skin tone like honey does tea. 

Maybelline Mineral Powder Natural Perfecting Concealer


2. Concealer
These lovely little packages cover imperfections that foundation can’t. They’re the perfect tool to hide under-eye circles after pulling that all-nighter, redness, marks left by previous pimples and more. Concealers hide pimples and blemishes the best. No wonder they’re a total must-have, especially helpful when a big date or some other special occasion is coming up.
Tip: After applying eye cream, use your ring finger to dab a small amount of concealer onto the dark areas under your eyes and in their inner corners. Give the cream and concealer a minute to set then blend the edges into the skin. The key is to apply light pressure. Use your ring finger when you’re skipping the brushes. Our ring fingers apply the least pressure from all our other fingers which makes it perfect when touching our sensitive undereye area!





Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush


3. Natural Blush
Finding the right shade of blush is essential in achieving that “natural glow”. Cheek tint is your best bet if you want to look “blushing”. To avoid looking like a clown or trying too hard, start with lighter shades of blush. If you want a summer glow, opt for coral pink and peaches.   

Shu Uemura's Award-winning Eyelash Curler



 4. Eyelash Curler
Invest in a great eyelash curler. You won’t regret the day you did! These handy tools open up anybody’s eyes instantly. Shu Uemera is the brand of eyelash curler that most makeup artists and celebrities swear by.

Benefits Cosmetics They're Real! Mascara



4. Clump Free Mascara
Long and thick eyelashes accentuate your whole eye area and give a very alluring look. If you are afraid of clumping, the best mascara choice would be lengthening ones. Thickening mascara on the other hand cause more clumpings than lengthening ones but they do make lashes look fuller than any other kind of mascara. Wiggling the eyelash brushes as you sweep from from the roots of your lashes to the tip will lessen the clumps.
Tip: After curling your lashes, press the mascara wand against your lashes, steering clear of the lids. Gentle wiggle the wand up toward the lash tips in a zigzag motion to ensure that every lash is covered.

Chanel Lipstick-Coated Lips


5. Lipstick
This is one of our favorite makeup. In fact, one of our beauty interns don’t go out of the house without wearing one. A lovely shade of lipstick alone can instantlly change your look. Gliding on red lipstick could sometimes be all you need to look ready for a night of partying.
For daytime looks, baby pink, nudes, and peaches will make you look sweet and fresh.
Invest on long wearing ones that contains moisturizer to prevent chapping. Don’t forget to apply lip balm first for a smoother application.

Like we always say here at popPRETTY.com, makeup rules are there as helpful guidelines. But you can break them. We expect you to follow only one rule when it comes to makeup: have fun! Makeup is an artist’s tool so go ahead and express yourself!
