What’s the one beauty product you always have on hand? For most, it’s some kind of hydrating lip product. Whether it be chapstick, lip gloss, lip oil, lip butter, and so on, if you were to look in anyone’s purse, you’d likely find at least one of the above (avoid actually looking in other people’s purses, though, it’s highly frowned upon). Dry lips are nearly impossible to ignore (and they’re not a great look either), so having an artisanal of hydrating lip products to turn to is a must. From on-the-go hydration to overnight masks, our lips are never sealed when it comes to sharing the best products.

Long gone are the days of colourless cheeks! Now more than ever, blush, more specifically liquid blush, has been all the rage – and we think it’s here to stay! Whether you’re looking for a natural sun-kissed glow, or that dreamy flush you get after having a drink. Blush alone, or in addition to a full face of makeup helps effortlessly achieve that look.
The nature of liquid blush can be a little intimidating at first but don’t fret, they’re actually way easier to work with than you may think! Just start with a little and blend, then build if need be.
Liquid blush gives a natural finish almost like a glow. Rather than the powdery, cakey (at its worst clowney), look some powder blushes tend to give off. So, we can understand that liquid blush is buzzing with popularity!
If you’ve yet to join the bandwagon on the Rare Beauty Soft Liquid Blush line, don’t walk, run! The popular shades of this blush sell out fast and we can see why. They are extremely pigmented yet when appropriately used (we recommend just a dab on the cheeks then blended out with a beauty sponge to soak in the excess product), the finish is stunning! This blush comes in either a radiant finish or a matte finish with a bunch of different stunning shades for all skin tones.
An oldie but a goodie! This product created in the 1970s is still relevant and thriving today! Originally Benetint was created for an exotic dancer as a nipple tint (yep, you read that right!). Now it is primarily used as a cheek tint giving the cheeks a natural flush and can even be used on the lips as well, providing an all-around finished look.
We love the application as much as we love the product for Kaja’s Cheeky Stamp Blendable Blush! You simply dab the applicator on your cheeks, leaving you with an adorable little heart painted on your face. Then you blend and watch your cheeks flush!
NYX is notorious for creating beautiful, creamy makeup formulas, and its Sweet Cheeks Soft Cheek Tint is no exception! Whether you like your blush to be more of a subtle wash of colour or prefer it to be more pigmented, this blush is super easy to work with! If you’re looking for an affordable cream/liquid blush that still lasts and has a beautiful finish – look no further!
Saie’s Dew Blush is here to give you that healthy flush of colour we’ve all been striving for! This water-based blush has a creamy, blendable formula that lasts all day! Cakey? We don’t know her. The shades ‘Chilly’ and ‘Poppy’ seem to be amongst the crowd favs.
Another amazing wallet-friendly blush! We love to see it. FLOWER Beauty (founded by Drew Barrymore), has checked all the boxes with its Blush Bomb Colour Drops. Perfect for wearing on its own or mixing together into your ideal custom shade, this buildable liquid blush has you covered. Its lightweight formula blends and builds easily, giving a radiant, healthy-looking finish.

Lipstick is such a fun beauty product to play around with, and it’s a product that can completely elevate a simple makeup look. It’s also one of the most multi-functional makeup products to have on hand, because it can double as blush! Whether you’re someone who is an avid makeup wearer or not, lipstick is a product most of us love to collect. With the amount of lippies on the market, there’s no need to splurge when there are so many amazing options out there that won’t cost you a fortune.

We all know there are some beauty staples worth investing in and for me, that has always been high-quality concealer and foundation. As someone that
In a time where 40 or more shades of foundations is the norm, diversity in shade ranges for beauty companies is expected… Not only in foundations, but other coloured products as well.
And just recently, Maybelline — the maker of many drugstore holy grails— launched a collection of lipsticks that are meant to be flattering for all, no matter the complexion.
With seven lipsticks in the collection, affordably priced at around $10.99 per shade, our team at StyleDemocracy wanted to put Maybelline’s claim to the test.

A natural beauty skeptic when big promises are made, I initially didn’t think each lipstick shade would look good on me, let alone all of us. I was quickly proved wrong because not only are all of these lippies perfect for our skin tones but they all worked for me.
Maybelline clearly knows what they’re doing because these super pigmented lipsticks are hydrating and they went on so effortlessly. Bonus points because the colour didn’t bleed at all so you won’t even miss your lip liner! — Blair Stutz (@blairalex), Editor & Community Manager
I was actually delightfully surprised at how the shades all looked on all of us! I could actually get away with sporting these lipsticks without wearing a lip liner… But for my melanin babes, a nice chocolate brown lip liner would be the perfect addition to these fabulous lipsticks!
My fave shades on my complexion were Red For Me, Pink For Me, and Mauve For Me — Sosa Eholor (@dolledbysosa), Digital Marketing & Advertising Coordinator
Like Blair and Sosa, I was shocked to see how great each of us looked in every single colour, especially since we all have such different complexions.
While there are some shades in the collection that I don’t see myself wearing day-to-day, I wasn’t mad at how any of them looked. In fact, I love the idea of universal drugstore lipsticks, especially since you typically can’t test them out in store — it ups your chances of walking away with something that’ll look flattering when you get home!
My favourite shade was Spice For Me, a cinnamon-brown with a little more oomph than your average neutral. — Amanda Phuong (@amandaphuong), Director of Digital Marketing
