5 Trending Makeup Products Loved by Influencers: A Complete Kit With Minimal Items

The Elf Cosmetic Power Grip Primer became popular a few years ago for coming up with a similar formula and texture. The issue? Given its volume, a lot of users found it too pricey. This Swiss Beauty primer, which got noticed on social media recently, delivers high-end result in affordable price. It has a Grippy Gel Formula, which can make your base makeup stick to your face and not get displaced while applying blush or highlighter later. It is hydrating in nature and is enriched with Niacinamide and Centella (which can make it oily-skin friendly as well). More importantly, it can be a very useful product in summer as it is sweat-resistant. For all those who are looking for a primer that can last long without clogging their pores, they can consider this effective option. It can also add a blurry effect to your face, so that your foundation looks smooth.

While primers can blur pores and give your skin a smoother texture, a foundation which also does the same can be a very handy pick. Probably that’s the reason this RENEE Bollywood Filter Foundation has gained so much hype among influencers. Despite being light-weight, it can give full coverage. It can cover pigmentation, blemishes and even acne marks to some extent while giving a blurred and minimised pores effect. Talking about the texture, it has a matte finish, but it may not give that dry and cakey look. That’s because it is enriched with Niacinamide (an ingredient good for almost all skin types) and Hyaluronic Acid, which adds hydration to your skin. While the popular high-end product, Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter, could give a dewy pre-base, this RENEE product can be more useful in terms of versatility. It is budget-friendly and can work like a tint (when used in less quantity during the day) and a full-fledged foundation (at parties).

This Maybelline concealer has received massive love on social media and has stayed in the game for a long time now. It has a thin wand that you can use precisely in the areas that you want conceal. Usually, you can use it mainly under the eyes, around the mouth, and on the T-zone, and also if you want to hide any acne or acne marks. This Maybelline New York Full Coverage Concealer can feel quite easy to blend, and you may not even have to take multiple tutorials on social media to learn how it's done. It gives a matte finish and a poreless effect, which can help you wear it for longer durations on a daily basis. This can be a useful pick for those who go to college or the office regularly and need something light. It can be suitable for all skin types, and in case you want to skip a foundation, you can use this concealer for a no-makeup-makeup-look.

In my personal opinion, if one ever has to choose between an eyeliner and kajal, then they should get their hands on a good kajal. This Lakme Eyeconic Kajal has been trending ever since it launched, and influencers still love it. It fulfils two major requirements—it is smudgeproof and waterproof. Whether you want to tightline your waterline or create a smoky eye effect, this kajal can be used as it may not smudge majorly after hours. It is long-lasting, and in case you want to wash your face with water or spray mist on it in the middle of a tiring day, you can do that as well. This Lakme Kajal is waterproof as well. Talking about the pigmentation, it can give a very dark black kohl effect. If you have been struggling with applying and reapplying kajal harshly (causing irritation and itchy eyes), then you can find its pigment useful.

While there are multiple colour options for you to check out, this one can be considered a versatile shade. Maybelline New York Serum Lipstick in the shade 003 Open Late comes in the soft pink family. It is neither too bright nor too dull, just subtle enough to be worn all day around. It can last for 8 hours, but you can always reapply it whenever needed. It is highly pigmented, and you can wear it in just a couple of swipes. Don’t worry, you may not feel chapped and heavy after every application. It is lightweight and hydrating, so your lips may not dry up after every few hours. With the satin and matte finishes, you can also avoid your lips looking cracked. Something that happens often when you wear lipstick for a long time. Also, all the colour options in this series can suit Indian skin tone nicely.
