Everyone’s got one or two life essentials, whether it’s a white shirt or a favorite perfume, there are some things you just can’t do without. So, I decided, why not ask the girls at Team MissMalini what their essentials are, especially when it comes to makeup. We’re kicking off our round of #MakeupMondays by listing a few products we never leave the house without. Mine is definitely an eyebrow pencil because I look like an alien with my barely-there brows, and I might have a little bit of a brow obsession (guilty!).  But, what makes all the other girls tick? Find out…

I never leave the house without a little lip balm. Moisture is key, whether you’re wearing makeup or not!

2) Swagata Dam

I can’t do without my waterproof eyeliner, because it opens up my eyes and doesn’t trickle down my face, no matter what the day brings.

You’ll always find hand-lotion in my bag. I love the amazing smell and it helps me combat that itchy, dry feeling. You can always use some on your knees or elbows too.

4) Anushka Mulchandani

I cannot leave the house without my Clinique primer. They have amazing primers that work wonders for your skin. You don’t always have to layer on foundation!

I love bronzer. It’s my favorite. It adds a flush of color and dimension to your face when you’re looking pale.

I need my Lancôme Paris oscillating mascara with me at all times. Lashes make all the difference to your look and this one works like a miracle.

I will never leave my house without my body mist! It elevates my mood and my look after a  long and tiring day.

Red lips! Everyone knows how much I love my lipsticks. And L’Oréal Paris’ Pure Reds collection is one of the best collection of reds I’ve ever seen.

A little makeup can go a long way, can’t it? What’s one thing you can’t leave the house without?
