If you've ever walked into a Sephora, you're familiar with the overwhelming feeling of joy seeing the plethora of beauty products in every variation and size. However, of all the products on the shelves, highlighters have become a must-have item for all makeup lovers because of its versatility and ability to be incredibly subtle.
Typically, beauty products are designed for different types of beauty queens. Whether you're a tom boy looking for a subtle glowing skin or a wannabe beauty blogger with a 40-step morning makeup routine, highlighter is a unique product that fits in both your makeup bags.
This being said, the market for this product has expanded drastically to include shades ranging the entire colour spectrum and body highlighter, which is great to accentuate a tan or a part of the body you want to pop in a fancy dress or revealing top.
As a result of its popularity, most beauty brands have come out with their version of this product including celebrity lines such as Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashians brands, which have become some of their most sought after items.
Whether you prefer cream, roll-on, loose powder or compact highlighter, you can achieve natural contouring of your features or dramatize a full contoured makeup look. Pick your favourite Sephora products and we'll tell you which highlighter you should be adding to your basket on your next makeup shopping spree....or maybe even in your online shopping cart in the next 5 minutes....
Pick Your Mascara
Mascara is a staple item in all our makeup bags, it just depends on how you use it. Do you experiment will different coloured mascaras? Do you use it on its own without any other makeup just to open your eyes up a little? Or do you have a different type of mascara for every occasion?

Foundation is a personal thing for everyone. Whether you have combination skin or are after a lightweight look, brands have come out with thousands of options to choose from. Which of these foundations is best suited for you?

The beauty industry took that into their hands and have made it a portable, at home activity. You will always look your best self when you are naturally on top of your game. You can wear all the makeup in the world, but yellow teeth will be an immediate turn off. Pick your teeth whitening saviour.

What was life before contour kits? Well, who cares because they exist now! For a rookie, you may want to ask an experienced makeup friend to help you, to avoid showing up to the pre-party with war paint all over your face. This being said, once you've mastered the art of contouring it's hard to imaging going back to anything else. Can anyone say, cheekbones on fleek...!
Pick Your Favourite Too Faced Product
Too Faced prides itself on producing the most natural feeling, natural beauty items.

There's nothing better than the feeling of smooth skin. It doesn't matter how great your makeup is, if your skin looks dry it ruins the whole look.

What's your body cream go-to?

What's Your Scent?
A woman's fragrance is a very personal purchase. It goes beyond the look and effectively enhances your allure though smell.

What does your fragrance say about you?
Pick Your Hair Product
Hair is unique to everyone, as is the way we treat it. Some women pull out all the bells and whistles even for a Wednesday at the office while others wait for a special occasion. The commonality is that everyone likes to look good regardless of the time requirement in the morning.
What Can't You Resist At A Sale?
Sales are both reason to celebrate and cry at Sephora. If impulse weren't already an issue when walking through the isles then big sale signs and sections definitely result in loss of all logic. Regardless of if you're a makeup addict, love your skincare regime or enjoy having a collection of multiple perfumes at all times...Sephora has it all...at a reduced price. Pick your irresistible sale item.
Pick Your Makeup Brush
While the use of sponges have become more common for contouring and makeup application, a good brush will never lose its value in your makeup bag. Whether it's for the perfect stroke of blush or to enhance your bronzed look, a good brush goes a long way. Which is your favourite?
Pick Your Favourite Makeup Brand
Loyalty to makeup brands is somewhat similar like the loyalty you have to your first born child. There's nothing like finding a product that's perfect for you and never letting go. Some brands are great for one thing, while others you could swear the entire line was made specifically for you. What's your go-to?
Pick Your Face Mask
Face masks can be incredibly beneficial to your skin but they can also be a fun a excuse to have a sleepover with your girlfriends.

Pick Your Eyeliner
Eyeliner is like highlighter in the way that it can either be used to accentuate a feature or completely dramatize a look. Although not everyone uses it on an everyday basis, it's affordability and versatility make it a staple in most people's makeup bag. Pick your favourite of these eyeliners.
Pick Your Concealer
Concealer has saved us all from some pretty badly hungover dark under-eyes. It's an item that can be worn alone or part of a flawless makeup routine. In either case, it should always tag alone in your daily travels in case a pimple comes creeping out before a date or you accidentally wakeup in a bed that isn't your own. It's basically a life saver in a bottle.

Pick Your Dior Product
Dior has it's hands in all markets including beauty and skincare. As little girls we see sneak into our moms makeup bag filled with Dior products or spray on a little of her J'adore perfume to feel like grown ups.

Pick Your Face Moisturizer
A girl's biggest beauty investment should always be her face care routine. It doesn't matter how well you do your makeup if your natural skin underneath isn't at its best. Unfortunately, wearing makeup everyday also comes with the possibility of acne and pore skin quality, if not washed off properly at the end of the night. For your best skin, what's your moisturizer pick?
Pick Your Lipstick Statement
Lipstick choices can vary based on your mood, occasion, and personality. This means, you can justify having an endless amount of shades in your makeup bag. Your choice of lipstick can be a purposeful statement of dominance and bad-ass attitude or a way to fly under the radar in a work environment. In either way, lipstick always adds that little extra oomf to your daily makeup routine.
Pick Your Eyeshadow
Eyeshadow is the ultimate makeup statement. Done wrong, it can look like a horror show but the correct mix of subtle tones, shimmer, and pops of colour can result in a look that has everyone turning their heads all night long. What's your favourite mix and match palette?

For those of you who get lost in all the options at Sephora, you're not alone. The best sellers sections are sprawled out across the store and can help offer a little guidance to the very confusing difference between loose and compact powder, volumizing and dramatic mascara and weather the lightweight or longwear foundation is best for you. Basically, the best way to reduce 1000 options into the best 10 in minutes. What are you going for?
How Do You Stay Safe In The Sun?
Regardless of how great or poor of a tanner you are, sunscreen is essential to keeping that skin healthy and protected for the rays. Luckily, makeup brands have incorporated the very important need for SPF into makeup products to avoid the need for multiple bottles and applications throughout a hot summer day or beach vacation.
