The Cult Classic Beauty Products We’ll Never Give Up
The crème de la crème of makeup and skincare.
One of the pitfalls of having a plethora of makeup choices available to us is that it makes purchasing your next beauty buy, a little overwhelming. But not to worry! Luckily for you, we’ve rounded up the cult classics that have rightfully earned and more impressively, maintained their bestselling status in the makeup industry. After all, if a mere foundation or mascara is cultivating an avid and devoted fanbase - it’s bound to be worth every bit of the hype.

Luxe
If you’re really dedicated to elevating your beauty routine, why not wholeheartedly commit?
These makeup buys are not only considered ‘luxury’ because of their price tag but they’re extremely high quality.
After all, your skin is a long-term investment, and you don’t want to put just anything on your face – especially when it’s a part of your everyday.
A good foundation is hard to find, but Giorgio Armani’s Luminous Silk Foundation is the smooth starting point that is guaranteed to set you up for a fabulous makeup application.
The epitome of a ‘cult classic’, this foundation created by makeup artist Pat McGrath, gives you that lit-from-within glow while looking and feeling weightless on the skin.
Inspired by charmeuse silk, the superior formula of this foundation has remained unchanged for the past 15 years.
And if it’s maintained its cult favourite status for almost two decades now… you know it’s got to be pretty stellar.

For those who are happy to spend a little more on the everyday, these beauty products are the definition of affordable luxury.
Including products from long standing and well-established cosmetic companies such as MAC, Too Faced and Kevyn Aucoin.
We’re also giving kudos to the newbies of the makeup game with specialised products from the likes of Ultra Violette and Refy.
The key to a flawless makeup application all relies on the very first step. We believe every good base is built on good skin and even better sunscreen. And in this current climate, there isn’t a good reason not to protect your skin from the sun.
Ultra-Violette’s Queen Screen has an innovative, serum like texture that is unlike the traditional face sunscreens you’re accustomed to.
There’s no white cast, no ‘sunscreen’ smell and no sticky, thick feeling.
If you don’t already own this bottle of miracle product – you’re seriously missing out.
