We hate to break it to you, but it’s time to stop wearing the same foundation you picked out in the eighth grade and spent three weeks’ allowance on. The girls from HC at Drexel have spilled the beans about their favorite beauty products. These 19 makeup must-haves will help you spruce up your beauty routine and introduce you to some new go-to products!
Easy on the Eyes
NYX Auto Eyebrow Pencil “It gets my eyebrows on fleek!” – KaylaÂ
Maybelline The Rocket Volum Express Waterproof MascaraÂ
Kat Von D Tattoo Liner “I can’t live without this eyeliner in the winter!” – Maegan
Anastasia Beverly Hills DIPBROW™ PomadeÂ
Clinique Chubby Lash Fattening Mascara in purple “I have big eyes and I love them, and mascara highlights them! Right now I am using purple mascara by Clinique and I am beyond obsessed.” – Orly
Benefit “They’re Real!” Mascara
Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara “I have pretty straight lashes, that do not naturally curl and they don’t hold curl well when I use an eyelash curler. 2 coats of this mascara works perfectly and gets the job done! There’s no need for an eyelash curler.” – Krystal
Easy Essentials
Buxom Full-Bodied Lip Gloss in Boo-Ya
Herbal Essences Totally Twisted Curl Boosting MousseÂ
Lush’s Bubblegum Lip Scrub “My lips always get super chapped, especially in the winter, and I’m a lipstick fanatic; but you can’t apply lipstick with chapped lips! So to avoid a bumpy, peel-y application I use Lush’s Bubblegum Lip Scrub. It’s all natural, works great, and tastes yummy (you can eat the extra since it’s sugar!).” – Ariana
Face the Day
CoverGirl TruBlend Fix Stick Concealer “You can cover dark circles, pimples, and red marks. It makes your skin look more clear, your eyes look like you’re more awake, and clear skin makes you look healthy!” –CalleighÂ
Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe Herbs and Rosewater
Tarte The Buffer Airbrush Finish Bamboo Foundation Brush “It’s really dense and soft, and allows you to buff on your foundation seamlessly no matter what brand you use.” – Drexel Contributor

E.L.F. Mineral Face Primer “It’s a must-have because it makes my face really smooth and soft and keeps my foundation in place all night!” – Eleanor
NARS All Day Luminous Weightless FoundationÂ
“It covers up my blemishes, is easy to apply, and doesn’t make my skin oily.” – Sarah
Olay Complete All Day Moisture Cream with SPF 15 “It keeps my skin hydrated all day long and feels light enough to wear with makeup!” – Manali
Smashbox Photo Finish Color Correcting PrimerÂ
L’Oreal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream “I’m always rushing places and getting flushed so this cream does a great job of lasting all day without cracking, sweating off, or giving me any issues at all!” – Lindsey
