Revamp Your Makeup Routine With Time-Saving Essentials
Discover 7 practical makeup products that will effortlessly upgrade your everyday beauty routine.
Text Şevval Akyüz
As a kid, I used to love playing with makeup—learning new techniques and experimenting was pure fun for me. But somewhere along the way, I lost that spark. My interest faded so much that I didn’t even have a makeup routine until I stepped into the professional world. When I did, I gravitated towards products that were practical. These versatile, do-it-all items quickly became my go-tos. On those hectic days, I can’t thank these little lifesavers enough. Now, I’m excited to share these magic products with you!
Benefit Benetint Liquid Lip and Cheek Blush Stain, $35, available at Sephora
I know the product I picked for the top of the list won’t be much of a surprise for beauty veterans but there’s a reason it’s so iconic. Benefit’s liquid lip and cheek blush stain instantly gives your skin a natural, radiant glow with its various shades. When I want that just-blushed or sun-kissed look, I dab a little on my temples and forehead.
Chanel N°1 de Chanel Lip and Cheek Balm, $48
To me, Chanel is a standout in the beauty world. This lip and cheek balm is a multitasker that caters to different needs. For fall, I’m eyeing the shades Berry Boost and Purple Energy.
Make Up For Ever Artist Color Pencil Brow, Eye & Lip Liner, $24, available at Sephora
After hearing one of my favorite makeup artists, Ceren Eröz, rave about how “It’s super easy to apply all over the face,” I had to check out Make Up For Ever’s pencil myself. If it seems familiar, you might recognize it as the secret weapon behind Hailey Bieber’s perfectly contoured lips. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to seamlessly blend their nose and lip contours with their overall expression.
M.A.C Omega Eyeshadow, $25
At first glance, you might question whether a single eyeshadow can be truly versatile. But Omega is far more than just an eyeshadow. It’s the go-to contouring hero, especially for fair skin tones. Whether you’re looking to define your eyes, sculpt your cheekbones, or give your lips a fuller look, this product has you covered.
Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate Contour Duo, $95
The Shade and Illuminate Contour Duo is one of Tom Ford’s legendary makeup staples. It effortlessly brings together two high-performance products in one sleek palette. It’s become a staple on my makeup vanity recently.
Byredo Colour Stick, $40
I’ve been eyeing Byredo’s Colour Stick in La Scène 434 for a while now. With its warm, bronze shimmer, I’m dreaming of that perfect sun-kissed glow that’ll take me from beach to evening parties.
Nudestix Nudies Cream Blush All-Over-Face Color, $35, available at Sephora
Nudestix is a pro at crafting effortless, natural looks. This blush, with its built-in brush, is my go-to for quick touch-ups.
