6 Beauty Items You Need to Switch Up Your Look Every Day

6 beauty items to change your look nivea preen

Makeup doesn’t have to be difficult. There are just two things you need to keep in mind: The first is that you don’t have to wear a full face of makeup all the time. You can change your look drastically by highlighting one part of your face. Second, you have to be religious when it comes to makeup removal and your skincare routine. All makeup products perform better on a clear, fresh face.

Here are five long-wearing makeup products you can use to pull off different looks easily, plus a tip for how to switch from one look to another without compromising skincare.

#1 Black gel eyeliner
From a full cat’s eye to a subtle flick, a black gel liner can instantly accentuate your eyes. Just don’t forget to use an eye primer for staying power and a concealer to keep the liner from smudging.

#2 Waterproof mascara
From Jeremy Scott bringing back the ’60s to Tom Pecheux going for the Revitalash overdose look, big lashes are in. Be sure to choose a waterproof formulation that will stay all day as regular formulations are easily affected by heat.

#3 Liquid foundation
A natural, blemish-free look is actually hard to achieve, so use a liquid foundation that blends well into your skin and matches you skin tone. Set it with a translucent powder so it remains on lock the whole day.

#4 Tinted Brow Wax
The thick formulation keeps your eyebrows from going haywire, while the tint fills in the gaps among the hairs. Choose waxes that are waterproof because sweat can easily melt away regular brow products.

#5 Red Liquid Lipstick
Combining the moisturizing effects of a lip balm and the lasting power of a long-wearing lipstick, liquid lipstick colors tend to be more saturated, creating an impact quickly after a few swipes. To create versatile looks, choose a red one. In the morning, you can use it as a light stain on your lips and cheeks, and at night, you can build up the color for an intense red lip when cocktail hour comes by.

From dramatic to au naturel in just one swipe
The thing about these products is that they are usually a chore to remove, making it difficult to adjust from one look to another, so a convenient makeup remover like NIVEA 3-in-1 Deep Cleansing Exfoliating Wipes comes in handy.

Though the wipes may look ordinary, if you inspect them a little closer, you’ll see that each side is created differently: The smoother side helps you take off your makeup, while the textured side exfoliates your face. With that, you get to do two essential skincare steps at once.

In between the cleansing and the exfoliation, moisturizing is also crucial. Cleansing tends to strip skin of its essential oils, which is why the wipes are infused with Magnolia essence. After using them, you can tap the remaining essence onto your skin for instant hydration. Hydrated skin helps ensures a smooth makeup application process. Plus, Magnolia is antibacterial so it can stop irritation and any impurities from affecting your skin.

Keep these wipes, plus the five makeup products in your stash, and you’ll be able to pull off a new look every day of the week.
