Whether you consider yourself ultra-low-maintenance, or a 10-step skincare routine sounds like your idea of beauty heaven, everyone has that one product they find themselves reaching for again and again.
We asked five Cosmopolitan beauty lovers to share the products they can’t live without right now, from lips to lashes. Better yet, you can shop all these essentials and more from Superdrug.
1. An eyebrow definer
“Even on days when I’m taking a break from makeup, I still make sure I maintain some kind of easy beauty routine.
“For me, the most important product is definitely eyebrow definer for filling in and shaping my brows. I rarely leave the house without sorting out my eyebrows.” Keeks Reid, Contributing Beauty Writer
2. A fail-safe mascara
“Mascara is an everyday must for me. It gives my face a bit of definition even when I’ve kept the rest of my makeup minimal, and makes me look more awake than I sometimes feel. It’s important to me that my makeup is cruelty-free and vegan, so this Superdrug option ticks my boxes.
“Add a slick of red lipstick and I instantly feel dressed up.” Isabella Silvers, Integrated Associate Editor
3. A fancy body wash
“You’d think that, as a beauty writer, my can’t-live-without products would be colourful palettes or expensive skincare. However, I’ve been reaching again and again for luxurious body washes. The ritual of a hot shower, enriched with aromatherapy, is a source of daily joy.
“Whether it’s a citrussy pick-me-up in the mornings, or an evening shower filled with lavender-infused steam, I’m obsessed.” Kate Pasola, Beauty Writer
4. An ultra-nourishing serum
“I’ve been taking some time to try out lots of new skincare to help with my ultra-dry skin. I’m obsessed with serums, experimenting to find out which make my natural skin glow – I might start a league table after all this!
“I’ve found that thicker serums, like those with hyaluronic acid, really calm down my sensitive skin.” Lottie L’Amour, speaker and creative
5. A reliable red lip
“Red lipstick has been my saviour since I was 16. If I wake up late and have no time to pull together a decent outfit, a slick of matte red suddenly makes my look intentional. I’m not hungover – I’m fabulous and too fashion to handle!
“Even on days when I’m not bothering to give much thought to my clothes, I’ll always reach for my favourite shade. Voilà, I’ve transformed from professional slob to professional in under two seconds.” Jennifer Savin, Features Writer
