1. Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation, $52

Tarte

"I'm allergic to most makeup and as I keep continuing to wear it, it gets worse. Tarte foundation is the absolute best thing in the world because it's perfume-free, cruelty-free, I don't get breakouts, and I look flawless." – MK Brown, Facebook

2. Urban Decay Setting Spray, $23

Urban Decay

"It's so humid in Singapore but after a full day at work, my face would look like I just put makeup on. This is my favourite product, EVER! If I fall asleep after a night out I won't look like a crazy mess!" – Raudha Ahmad, Facebook

3. Smashbox Primer Water, $50

Smashbox

"Spray before your makeup for an excellent primer. Mist after your makeup for a stellar hold. I was in and out of the pouring rain Saturday AND took a two-hour nap with a full face of makeup. Nothing budged, smeared, lightened. I will forever and ever and ever use the Smashbox." – Ashton Conte

4. Bobbi Brown Corrector, $40

Bobbi Brown

5. Kat Von D Liquid Lipsticks, $30

"A lot of drinking, a lot of laughing, and it still looked flawless six hours later. No touch up needed." – Sophia Iversen, Facebook

6. Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder, $70

7. YSL Touche Eclat, $63

YSL / Via mecca.com.au

"It's the only pen that works as a highlighter and undereye brightener, and makes my eyes look so bright and wide awake. I've had multiple comments from people telling me my makeup looks good whenever I wear it. I put it under my eyes, on my brow bones, cupid's bow, little bit on the chin, and on my laugh lines. It brightens my entire face." – Amena Tayyab, Facebook

8. Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara, $36

Too Faced / Via mecca.com.au

charlottetilbury.com

"The amount of compliments I got when I wore it were insane. My skin looks soft and it literally glows from within. Unfortunately, I have oily skin so it only lasts me a good 3-4 hours max, but it looks gorgeous." – Amena Tayyab, Facebook

10. Becca's Champagne Pop Highlighter, $60

Becca

"It is life changing! It doesn't make your face overly white but it captures the light PERFECTLY. For someone who does not have very defined features, it is a must-have for my daily look." – Steph Yue, Facebook

11. Benefit They're Real! Mascara, $42

Benefit / Via myer.com.au

"It's the price I always don't want to pay and yet, know that the benefit (no pun intended) outweighs the expensive price point. My lashes literally look like falsies when I use it." – Paige R. Hackett, Facebook

12. Lancome Teint Idole Foundation, $57

Lancome / Via mecca.com.au

"It's pricey, but it has a massive array of shades, and it comes in wearably dark shades for ebony girls, too! It has terrific coverage, SPF, and stays on all day (and if you're pale, like me, it won't turn you pink or orange when it adjusts to your face). Perfect for people with oily skin." – Stephanie Bakus, Facebook

13. Urban Decay eyeshadow, ranging from $31 for a single colour to $95 for a limited-edition palette

Urban Decay

"Lasts all day and has a high, high pigment. The colors are creamy smooth and the color - oh man the colors! I love that the palettes always have a few neutral tones to balance the brights, and there's always plenty of blending options, so you're always going find the best look." – Claire Lankford, Facebook

14. Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base, $82

Bobbi Brown / Via mecca.com.au

16. Kat Von D Ink Liner, $28

Kat Von D

"It's always the hardest thing to get off my face at the end of the day and many people I know who could never nail a cat eye could only do it using one of Kat's eyeliners! Oh, and being vegan/cruelty-free is always a plus!" – Amanda Ruth, Facebook

17. Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation, $50

myer.com.au

"I can also say that this baby stayed on my face and did not move an inch during;

1) A rugby match

2) One night stand + walk of shame + McDonalds breakfast guilt trip

3) A day at the office running between buildings, meetings and filing rooms

4) My 21st, 22nd, 23rd birthday nights out

5) Trampoline park

This stuff is amazing, Estee Lauder has a great range of skin tones, doesn't dry my skin and has SPF." – Annie Middleton-McKenna, Facebook

18. Anastatsia Dipbrow Pomade, $32

Anastasia

"I was born with light brows and this makes an incredible difference. Best part? It stays! If I happen to sleep at a guy's house I can wake up confidently knowing that I don't look like Elmer Fudd." – Annie Mac, Facebook

19. Le Volume de Chanel Mascara, $54

Chanel

"It's the best I've ever used by a mile. It's just "wet" enough to be the perfect consistency, and gives me both length and volume." – Stephanie Allison, Facebook
