10 Makeup Brands and Essentials You Must Have!

Attention girls, it’s time to take notes as VogueVocal spills the tea on the Top 10 must-have makeup essentials and where to get them from! If you’re a noob to Makeup or want to simply upgrade your makeup routine, you need the right products! Have you ever tried a step-by-step makeup tutorial and wondered what went wrong? Yes, makeup techniques and skills take time to master, but what impacts your look is your choice of makeup brand!  We focus on all the tried and tested top 10 makeup brands and products from Charlotte Tilbury to MAC.

So follow Vogue Vocal with this step-by-step guide and get your hands on the top 10 makeup brands and essentials you must have:

1. Moisturizer:

Start with clean, fresh skin and moisturize it! I can’t emphasize enough how important this step is! Your skin should look radiant, fresh, and hydrated before putting on any makeup product. The more time you prep your skin, the more smoothly the other makeup products will glide!

At Vogue Vocal, we are absolutely in awe of Hailey Beiber’s radiant skin! Girl, how she glows! Rhode glazing milk is our absolute holy grail for hydrated, plump, and dewy skin. It helps restore your skin barrier, and you can count on it to help you get that smooth skin prep!

2. Primer:

Your look depends upon the perfect skin prep, so it’s time for Primer after moisturizing. Vogue Vocal guarantees you that you can blindly trust your MAC cosmetics primers for all skin types! MAC, being the pioneer makeup brand, has a wide range of Primers. We remember how MAC spray primers were a game-changer once, and they are still magnificent! There are illuminating and hydrating primers and primer sticks that minimize the appearance of pores. The Mattifying Primer is perfect for oily skin girlies! So, if you are looking for the perfect Primer, MAC should be your go-to makeup brand!

3. Foundation:

One of the most important parts of your makeup routine is the foundation and picking the right shade and makeup brand to enhance your natural skin tone! Let the whole world be the witness, Vogue Vocal has declared NARS to be their official favorite makeup brand for the foundation! You can pick their sheer glow foundation that is trending on TikTok these days, or you can go for their Light Reflecting Advance Skincare Foundation, which has been selling out fast since it was spotted at the Met Gala!

4. Concealer:

Two brands are ruling the concealers! The Tarte Tape Shape Concealer and Maybelline Age Rewind concealer are the top makeup brands for getting your right concealer! You can literally never go wrong with these! So go, girl, conceal those dark eyes after watching Netflix all night!

5. Blush n Bronzer:

Hoola from Benefit Cosmetics was the one makeup brand that set the stage on fire with its highly pigmented blush and Bronzer. Their blush is highly pigmented, and we love their Bronzer way more! The Pixi Blush Stick is trending these days and has put this makeup brand in the spotlight with its swipe blush! Another makeup brand that has one of the most pigmented and natural-looking blushes is Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez! The easily blendable tint is one of our go-to blush for those rosy pink cheeks!

6. Setting Powder:

Millennials, do you remember those days when Kylie Jenner would post makeup tutorials with full face contours and setting powder, and we all rushed to find that translucent setting powder? Well, now all makeup brands have their setting powder, but our personal favorite is the Huda Beauty Pink setting powder! The filter-like finish that Huda Beauty’s Pink setting powder brings is flawless! So don’t think twice; if you are not into that look, you can also go for their translucent powder.

7. Eyeliner:

Your Makeup isn’t complete without adding that pop of color to your eyes! Be it a bold winged eyeliner or a subtle smudged eyeliner, you need the perfect one to lift your face and add that finished look to your Makeup. So far, the makeup brand that has the best eyeliner, as Vogue Vocal believes, is the Stila Cosmetics Eyeliner! That smudge-proof eyeliner is pure magic! And girls, we understand your struggle with the smooth application, so rest assured that Stila has the most smooth applicators, and even a noob can get them on perfectly!

8. Mascara:

When it comes to Mascara and giving your lashes that perfect curl, volume, and lift, different makeup brands come to mind. If you are not a fan of the falsies, let’s get into the makeup brands. You can opt for the perfect Mascara! Maybelline’s Volum‘ Express Falsies is one of the best mascaras for an almost false lash-like look! The Loreal Paris Double Extend Beauty Tubes Mascara brought together a mascara primer that protects your lashes and a mascara that adds to a fuller and dramatic lashes look! Other makeup brands like Benefit Cosmetics and Essence also have some excellent options that we recommend!

9. Lipstick:

The competition among makeup brands over lipsticks is baffling these days! When Selena comes up with Rare Beauty hydrating Lip Oils, Hailey Beiber comes with sleek and chic Peptide Lip tints with a buildable formula! Then how can we forget Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty, whose shades are to die for! The OG MAC lipsticks or Huda Beauty Lipsticks are makeup brands that have our approval!

10. Setting Spray:

When you are done with your makeup look, it’s time to seal the deal with a fixing spray to make your Makeup last longer! Once again, we come back to MAC as the makeup brand with one of the best setting sprays of all time!

So, next time you want to get some makeup essentials and are wondering what to buy and where to buy them, Vogue Vocal will help you pick out only the best makeup brands for yourself! Slay those makeup looks!
