What’s your favourite go-to product you can’t step out without? Many women have that one indispensable product, their bestie, a true lifesaver they can never forget. Be it a foundation, a fragrance, a lip and cheek tint or a skincare essential. The selection largely depends upon daily routine and the desired level of makeup coverage. But sometimes, emotional attachment influences the choice of favourite as well.
This product is your forever tag-along, proudly residing in the most approached pocket of your purse. While the world may find your dependency on a product absurd, it’s the most important thing to you. It’s a medium of self-expression, not solely to accentuate your beauty but to give you a major confidence boost as well. It has you up and about and is more of a need rather than a want.
Some women, either with us or online, have revealed their favourite product that travels with them wherever they go, and ladies, we get it!
1. “It’s sunscreen for me that’s an absolute essential. My skin is very sensitive and the sun, especially in summer, can be really harsh. My skin turns red at the descent of a hat. I am very particular about carrying sunscreen.“
– Bhumika
2. “A lip tint. Previously, I used to overdo my makeup with an eyeliner and Kajal. Now, I prefer a much more natural look. Also, cos a coloured lip product is still a little more versatile than clear lip balm. So that’s why I prefer lip colours.”
– Harshita
3. “I don’t leave without my hand cream and lip balm. They are my essentials. And if I ever end up leaving home without them, I just have a bad day. At the office as well, I keep needing them because my hands tend to get dry after constantly typing. So that’s that!”
– Manya
4. “It would be lipstick that matches the shade of the dress I am wearing on the day. I think lipsticks complete the look and give one a fuller appearance. On any given day, even if I’m not wearing any makeup, I’d always wear and carry the lipstick with me.”
– Snigdha
5. “I always have whatever lipstick I’m wearing that day with me, and if it’s a Friday, I’ll also carry a bolder lipstick in case I go out right after work. I always keep a lipstick in my desk as well just in case I forget to bring one with me. Basically lip products are the only thing I take with me when I leave the house, anything more seems like a hassle.”
6. “Eyebrow pencil. I feel like properly done eyebrows can make your entire face look put together, especially if you have sparse brows like mine.”
– Lucia_92
7. “Concealer and blusher. That’s like the basic basic must-have for me. If I had to pick one, then, it’s concealer as I’d look like a sleep-deprived zombie, LOL. But I think concealer, blusher and eyeliner/mascara are my holy trinity. With these 3, you could easily look like you spent effort and time doing your make-up because as minimum as these products are, the effect is transformative and makes you look well put together in a very small amount of time.”
8. “My deodorant cos I sweat a lot. Also, smelling good has some psychological connection to my confidence. My peach-scented deo is my saviour.“
– Radhika
Personally, my purse always has my hand sanitiser and lip and cheek tint. One’s for my paranoia around basic hygiene, and another is just a simple hack to get ready in no time.
