Cushion Teint Idole Ultra, 010, Lancome

I don't like primers: I think a light moisturizer is the best makeup base. But when I make a make-up with this cushion, even the cream turns out to be superfluous. I like the soft pad applicator - I use patting movements to spread the product on my face. My skin is prone to dryness, but this exfoliator is not stressed. For daytime makeup I don't use a highlighter - the shine that the cushion gives is quite enough.

Price: 4 022 rub.

Primer for eyes Eyeshadow Primer Potion, Urban Decay

I have a large collection of shadows, but not all of them can boast of durability. This tool turned out to be a real salvation: it holds any pigment in reinforced concrete, as well as an eyeliner to boot. I distribute the cream primer with my fingers on the eyelids and apply shadows on top. After it, eye makeup in the evening is the same as it was in the morning after application.

Price: 1500 rub.

Lipstick Rouge Coco Stylo, 202, Chanel

The sleek case resembles a pen. Hidden inside is a pink glitter with mother-of-pearl. It seems bright, but hardly noticeable on the lips. When I do bright eye makeup, I almost always have this lipstick on my lips. With her there is no feeling of dryness - the lips are always moisturized. I update every two hours.

Price: 2 665 rub.

Cream blush Creamy Face Color, Rosa Carina, Dolce & Gabbana

I'm a fan of cream blushes - they are best suited to skin tone. These are liked by the fact that they instantly turn into powder on the face. The pigment may appear bright, but it takes just a little to achieve a natural blush effect.

Price: 4170 rub.

Palette for contouring Contour Palette, Smashbox

The set contains three powdery products: bronzer, highlighter and concealer. Most often I use the first one - I emphasize the cheekbones with a large beveled brush. I put the lightest on the T-zone and chin. The product mattes well, and for those who want to make a full-fledged contouring, the kit includes step-by-step instructions.

Price: 3 450 rub.

Eyeshadow Eye Tint, 3, Giorgio Armani

There has never been a single person to whom I have told about these shadows and he would not have fallen in love with them at first sight. There are a lot of tints for the eyelids today, but these are the most persistent and brightest. The color on the eyes is as bright as in the tube. My favorite is turquoise - it goes well with dark brown eyes. These shadows are one of the few in my collection that I do not back up with a primer.

Price: 2827 rub.

Eyeliner Master Ink, 20, Maybelline New York

I tested a lot of eyeliners - arrows are always present in my everyday makeup. This one fit in all respects. Firstly, it is good even for "beginners": a thin pliable brush smoothly glides over the eyelid and allows you to draw both thin arrows and graphical ones. Secondly, it can be easily removed with micellar water, so that in case of a mistake, you do not have to completely wash off your eye makeup. Thirdly, if I apply in the morning, then until late in the evening I can be sure that the arrows remain in place and are not smeared.

Price: 700 rub.

Eyebrow primer Browvo! Conditioning Primer, Benefit

I naturally have black, thick eyebrows, so products with colored pigments are not suitable for me. This colorless gel helps to gently comb and style hair. The composition of the caring components - keratin and soy proteins.

Price: 2 420 rubles.

Mascara Vertige Longueur, 01, Yves Rocher

I love it for a thin brush that allows you to get to the lash line and paint over each one. Does not stick them together, lengthens well and gives good volume. The only negative is that it is not waterproof, but without tears and contact with water it will withstand more than 5-6 hours.

Price: 800 rub.

Eyeshadow Les 4 Ombres, 268, Chanel

Red in eye makeup is the trend of the past fall. At first I was skeptical - until I tested this palette, where among the four shades there is a fiery burgundy. It turned out an interesting evening makeup for brown eyes: I mixed this bright pigment with brown and supplemented it with a black arrow. I often use the coffee shade from this palette for everyday nude makeup. The pigments are well shaded and can be easily removed with micellar water.

Price: 4 049 rub.

Lipstick Rouge Volupte, 46, Yves Saint Laurent

My best friend for evening outings. The color of red orange goes well with dark hair - most often I make curls for this lipstick. Before this lipstick, I do not put on a balm - hyaluronic acid in the composition is responsible for moisturizing. Pretty easy to apply - I don't need a pencil.

Price: 2 649 rub.

Shimmering cream for body and face, AMC Face and Body Pigment, 61, Inglot

It is recommended to distribute this product on the bridge of the nose, under the eyebrow and on the cheekbones, but I very often mix it with foundation and apply it all over my face. Convenient dispenser: one tap and you have the right amount of product on your finger for a particular area.

Price: 1 200 rub.
