So if you’ve been reading Makeup Tips for a while you probably know about my long lasting love for Essence Cosmetics. The European beauty brand is filled with hundreds of great products at super affordable prices, some of which are staples in my daily makeup bag. Trying to choose just one of my favourite products, never-lone just five of them is like picking a favourite child, but after much consideration here are five of my favourite Essence products that you MUST try.
This is one of my all-time favourite eyebrow products and beats out so many high-end brands. I tried this on a whim and don’t regret it one bit, the colours are cool-toned (no need to worry about orange brows!) and the powders have just the right amount of pigment so you don’t overdo it. This is a staple in my makeup bag and for the price you simply cannot go wrong.
Essence Make Me Brow Eyebrow Gel Mascara
This is a relativity new launch for Essence, but it’s quickly become one of my favourites. The fibre eyebrow gel trend has been big throughout the past year. I’m a big fan of the product that originally started the craze, Benefit Gimme Brow, but at $35 upwards it doesn’t come cheap. That’s why I’m a big fan of Essence Make Me Brow, it has very similar attributes to the cult product, but is much more affordable.
For me, I’ve never felt the need to spend loads of money on lip liners because they’re such a fair-weather item, plus my favourite lip liners are cheap as chips so why would I? Essence Lip Liners are what I always reach for should I need to line my lips, their affordability, smoothness in texture and lasting power make them consistent winners in my books.
Essence Sun Club Matt Bronzing Powder
Finding a decent bronzer on a budget can be a real struggle, but Essence make it work with their Sun Club Matt Bronzer, which is one of my favourites for the price. The formula is light, finely milded and applies evenly. Brands often tend to get the colour wrong when it comes to bronzers, too light, too dark, too warm, too orange, but Essence has achieved a good balance. The bronzer comes in two shades, both of which have the perfect amount of warmth so they don’t look unnatural.
Gel nail polish is great, but it can be a time-consuming process. Essence Gel Nail Polish requires no lamp whatsoever and gives the most beautiful gel-like shine to the nails which lasts with no chipping or peeling. The shade range is great and for the price they’re fantastic nail polishes, plus the formula is free of nasties like DBP, toluene, or formaldehyde. What’s not to love? (PS: Want to win your very own collection of the nail polishes plus a shelf to store them in? Then you have to check this comp out!)
