Every month, an editorial staff member shares her beauty bag essentials with you. This time, beauty and fashion intern Anouschka reveals her must-haves.
My love of makeup was sparked by a pink glitter eyeshadow I got to wear when I was six to match my butterfly costume. Appropriately for puberty, the make-up affinity flared up again with the help of a mousse make-up that was much too dark. Years of discovering and trying out new make-up products followed. This journey now culminates in the beauty bag, which I have put together perfectly for me and which I would like to present to you today. I love all of the products in it, but I would never want to be without one. You can read here what that is.
with the dr Start the day with Barbara Sturm Hyaluronic Serum
On the skin care of Dr. Stars like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Bella Hadid swear by Barbara Sturm. However, if you don’t have the opportunity to experience the famous facial treatments in person, you can take the care series home. The hyaluron serum particularly stands out. The combination of short- and long-chain hyaluron molecules moisturizes the skin and counteracts dryness lines. I prefer to apply the serum in the morning after cleansing my face, let it soak in for a few minutes and start the day with a great glow. If you don’t want to do without the advantages of the hyaluron serum and want to save money at the same time, you can use the serum from Nø Cosmetics.
Less is more: Bare Minerals Foundation
True to the motto “less is more”, the bare minerals foundation impresses with only five mineral ingredients. Especially for me, who suffers from perioral dermatitis, it is important to use make-up that does not unnecessarily stress my skin. The powder make-up reliably covers all skin imperfections without leaving a mask effect and also contains a sun protection factor of 15 .
The special thing about the product is that you can build it up very well, so you can use it for a light day make-up but also for a more dramatic look. Another positive side effect: with prolonged use, the complexion is positively influenced.
The Charlotte Tilbury “Beauty Light Wand” promises glow deluxe
The great thing about Charlotte Tilbury’s ‘Beauty Light Wand’? It is a blush and highlighter in one and is one of the most popular products in the beauty community. The liquid highlighter conjures up a radiant glow and is easy to dose thanks to the cushion applicator and can be worked in with a beauty blender or your fingers. Since the product is very economical, I always dab two dots on the cheekbones and sweep them up towards the hairline to give my face an additional contour. The light wands are available in the colors gold, pink and peach and have become an integral part of my beauty bag.
Iles Formula Finishing Serum Haute Performance: Finishing and heat protection in one
The haircare brand, which was developed by Heidi Klum’s hairstylist Wendy Iles, is a real insider tip in Hollywood. The three-stage hair care system is designed to regenerate the hair and counteract hair damage. The finishing serum, which also acts as heat protection, deserves a special mention. I usually have the problem that I don’t see a big difference after using hair care products. It’s different with this serum: I apply it to towel-dried hair and then style my hair as usual with a hair dryer and then straighten it. After the first use, my hair was noticeably shinier and healthier looking.
The Got2b styling gel glue lasts and lasts
There have never been so many changing eyebrow trends as in recent years. I especially like the soap brows: the eyebrows are brushed upwards with the help of soap, which makes them look particularly distinctive. To keep the shape all day, I use the Got2b styling gel glue that fixes the eyebrows – this is how the brow lift works at home.
