We list out a few beauty must-haves that don’t require a platinum card.
BB Cream
This multi-tasking product is an absolute must-have. It brightens complexion, makes your skin even, hydrates, provides sun protection and even doubles up as a foundation. It’s available in different shades to suit any skin tone. Need we say more? Both Garnier and Maybelline BB creams are as great for your pocket as they are for your skin.
Priced at Rs.199 (each).
Mineral compact powder
Perfect for day wear, Rimmel London’s Stay Matte compact powder is great for oily skin, as it controls shine. It’s great for those with sensitive skin as well because it comes packed with the goodness of natural minerals.
Priced at Rs. 195.
Peach blush
Nothing adds a warm glow to Indian skin tones (wheatish and dusky ones) like a peach blush. Dab some on the apples of your cheeks, some mascara and a nude creamy lipstick—you’ll look like an earthy goddess in no time. This creamy one from FACES Canada is easy to apply, as you can blend it into your skin with just your finger tips.
Priced at Rs. 399.

Smudge-proof kajal
This is a no-brainer. Have you ever met an Indian woman, who doesn’t use kajal or kohl? We didn’t think so! Maybelline’s Colossal Kajal is one of those rare makeup products that lives up to its hype. It’s long-lasting and perfect for our humid weather and comes with a sweet price tag too!
Priced at Rs. 150.
Volumising mascara
A volume-boosting mascara guarantees A-lister lashes. A few coats will give you dramatic eyes. The Bourjois Beauty’ Full volume mascara’s mousse formula builds instant volume and can be applied layer upon layer without clogging, for intense black lashes. Its light-weight formula comes off easily with a regular makeup remover.
Priced at Rs. 475.
Tinted lip balm
What’s not to love about tinted lip balms? They hydrate and give your lips juicy and subtle colour at the same time. Nivea Fruity Shine lip balm will add just a little creamy red tint to your lips.
Priced at Rs. 129.
