If you are a beauty enthusiast, there is a strong chance you have tried a ton of makeup products, hoard a few and still can’t resist buying new products. As a beauty product hoarder, I too am guilty of doing that. However, there is always that one product we always find in our kit, our holy grail! This made me wonder what are the makeup products that have a permanent residency in Team Elle’s makeup bag. Here is what they had to say:
Team Elle’s Holy Grail Makeup Products
Zoha Castelino, Fashion Editor
It is the Maybelline New York Falsies Lash Lift Mascara. I have been using it ever since and can’t imagine life without it.
Sakshi Sharma, Jr. Digital Writer
The Too Faced Lip Injection is my favourite, and the tingle is very real, but the super plump and glossy lips I’m left with make it so worth it! I wrote a whole article about my love for plumping glosses.

My favourite makeup item would be the Bobbi Brown shimmer brick highlighter. Every time I step out, I have to look like a glowing baddie with dolphin-like skin and the highlighter palette allows me to replicate that. Its high-intensity shimmer and golden finish look lovely on my honey-toned skin. And it’s super easy to apply to as well. It is a bonafide classic makeup item that is worthy of its reputation.

My favourite product at the moment is the Asa Beauty Concealer. It works very well for my skin and blends easily. And even though it has a creamy texture, it doesn’t feel greasy. It’s light and smooth, and I like the fact that it is a clean and vegan beauty brand.
Sonali Shah, Deputy Editor
I love coloured eyeliners, and I’m always wearing them! Over the years, I have tried several of them. I am partial to user-friendly ones that do not require the extra step of having to sharpen the liners. My current favourites are both blue; Kiro Hi-Def Soothing Eye Liner Pencil in the shade Sapphire Blue and amág Beauty blip in the shade Starry Blue.

The product I swear by would be llana Beet Tint. My sleep schedule is something I’m not proud of at all, but the tint really helps me look alive, and it is easy to apply, so not much time is wasted. Brownie points to that!

Maybelline New York Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lipstick in the shade Hot Chase is a product I swear by. It is a creamy matte lipstick as the name suggests, does not crack my lips, boasts of a minimal transfer trait and the vibrant colour makes me look fresh even after a sleepless night. Kudos for the creamy consistency. What’s not to like? It is always in my purse and I’m never letting go!
