5 Makeup Essentials That Will Transform Your Look

Makeup pros and beauty gurus can likely all agree on one thing: certain makeup products are a must-have for transforming your entire makeup look. Sure, you may have a naturally smooth complexion or impeccable eyelashes, but we’re talking about using makeup products that will take your look from ordinary to extraordinary. Interested? We thought you might be, and we’re here to fill you in on the power of these five essential makeup products that’ll leave your social media followers wanting to get the look. 

Product #1: Multi-Tasking Concealer 

This beauty staple comes in handy when it’s time to give your eyes a bright and refreshed look. And it’s even better when it combines makeup and skin care benefits. We love the L’Oréal Paris True Match Eye Cream in a Concealer, 0.5% Hyaluronic Acid because it’s a concealer-eye cream that works double-duty to minimize the look of aging and provides 24-hour hydration to the eye area. It reduces the appearance of dark circles and leaves your under-eye skin hydrated. After one week’s use, your eyes will look less puffy thanks to the dose of hyaluronic acid. Talk about essential! 

Product #2: Longwear Eyebrow Gel 

Eyebrows have the power to level up your makeup when it comes to creating a stunning look. And you can create great-looking brows regularly by using the L'Oréal Paris Unbelievabrow Longwear Waterproof Brow Gel. Unlike traditional brow pencils, this eyebrow gel includes longwear polymers that help create a waterproof film on your eyebrows to seal in the pigment, giving the brows a natural-looking color. Use the doe-foot applicator to lightly fill in any sparse areas and brush through with a spoolie after. Your brows will look naturally thicker and fuller.  

Product #3: Colored Eyeliner 

There’s no denying the transformative power of eyeliner, but you’re really missing out if you’ve never tried using colorful options. Colored eyeliner can be used in many different ways and combined with other colors for a vibrant makeup look. Add a twist to your traditional wing and reach for the L’Oréal Paris Matte Signature Liquid Dip Eyeliner Waterproof. This waterproof liquid dip eyeliner has a precision applicator with a shortened stem, allowing you to get closer to the eye to draw a flawless wing easily. The formula has a matte finish and is available in four different colors—black, blue, greige, and burgundy—all equally worthy of starring in your makeup look.

Product #4: Volumizing Mascara 

We all know mascara is a makeup essential, but did you know that a volumizing mascara can help take your eyelashes to a whole new level? Volumizing mascara can help give your lashes a tint while making them appear fuller, which gives a more youthful appearance to the eye area. Try the L’Oréal Paris Air Volume Mega Mascara, Lightweight Mega Volume Washable in Blackest Black to pump up the volume for your lashes. It features a cushioned double-bristle brush—the short side catches lashes from the root, and the long side helps spread the product evenly for fully blown out lashes. Thanks to the air-whipped formula your lashes won’t feel weighed down. 

Product #5: Glossy Lip Stain 

To add the finishing touch to your makeup look, go for a lippe that is far from basic. Glossy lips can offer the appearance of fuller and softer lips, and also help add a touch of radiance to the face when you’re feeling like your glow is fading. Try picking out a shade of your liking from the L’Oréal Paris Brilliant Signature Shiny Lip Stain Lipstick collection. This lightweight, high-shine lip stain has a gloss-like feel and the color impact of a liquid lipstick, giving you the best of both worlds. With the help of the precision applicator, you can easily shape and line your lips with any of the 12 shiny shades. And its longwear formula won’t leave your lips feeling sticky.
