7 makeup products that are worth every penny, according to a makeup artist

With newer products hitting shelves every single day, it’s easy to get lost in the sea of options. This raises the question—how do you uncover which makeup products are worth the hype and deserve a spot in your routine? To get to the bottom of this, we spoke to Shradha Luthra, the makeup force behind numerous celebrity brides like Alanna Panday. She let us in on all the tried-and-true makeup products that she relies on for creating a flawless look every single time.

When it comes to the perfect makeup look, Meghan Trainor knows what she’s crooning about—it is, indeed, all about that base. And Luthra agrees. She likes to reach for Bobbi Brown’s oil-free formula in her makeup kit as the first step for putting together a masterpiece. “It’s not just a moisturiser, but also acts as a primer with ingredients like vitamin E and hyaluronic acid. It's tried and tested on every skin type, providing lasting hydration while allowing makeup to sit seamlessly on top. With regular use, it will improve your skin’s texture and appearance over time,” she shares.

In the quest for the perfect foundation, Luthra has a lengthy list of non-negotiables for face makeup products, including this one. Long-lasting coverage? Lightweight formula? Waterproof finish? Yes, yes and yes, please. “This formula is incredibly weightless, feeling and looking just like skin while lasting for hours. With buildable coverage, it truly makes it a perfect foundation. The warmer undertones work beautifully for Indian skin, making it totally worth the money,” she says.

Next up—eye makeup products to create a statement look. For Luthra, having a palette of neutrals as well as shimmery hues at hand is a must-have. “Whether you're aiming for a party or bridal look, this palette by Anastasia Beverly Hills does it all. The shades are pigmented and incredibly blendable. It’s worth every penny, as the versatile lineup of hues means that you’ll get endless use from it,” she says.

For nights when the look needs to land without second-guessing, this palette does the work for you. The Soft Glam Palette features 14 rich matte and metallic shades that blend seamlessly and build beautifully. From subtle definition to full party glam, every shade wears and stays put. Complete with a dual-ended brush and mirror, it’s easy to take along for quick touch-ups between plans — if you even need them.

When it comes to makeup products that are worth the hype, Too Faced’s reputation precedes the brand. While the mascara usually assumes the spotlight, Luthra also finds herself loyal to this pen-style eyeliner that offers a smudge proof finish in a single stroke. “This matte black liner lasts all day, layers effortlessly and is incredibly easy to use,” she chimes in.

Givenchy Prisme Libre Blush - N 01 Mousseline Lilas (6g)

There are powder blushes and then, there’s the Givenchy Prisme Libre Blush. “It’s a finely milled powder—unlike your typical powder blushes—that sits effortlessly on the skin and delivers a pop of colour that truly lasts. Blush tends to fade the quickest compared to other makeup products, but I keep returning to this one repeatedly due to its longevity on the skin that minimises touch-ups during the day,” she shares.

When it comes to lip makeup products, there are zero prizes for guessing Luthra’s ride-or-die lipstick formulas. “Huda Beauty’s liquid lipsticks are my favourites. The shade range is versatile and the formula doesn't dry out your lips. It's extremely matte and long-lasting without ever tugging on the lips or becoming uncomfortable as the night wears on,” she enthuses.

Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder Mini - Translucent Honey (9.3g)

This product is for when you want to wear powder but don’t want it to look like you’re wearing any. It creates a dreamy, skin-like finish without settling into fine lines, wrinkles or texture. A pro-approved formula, it sets your makeup in place—a good option for normal, oily and combination skin. This finely milled solution is ideal for absorbing excess sweat. Just dab it on shiny areas to turn them matte almost instantly.

When you are looking to seal in your handiwork, the best makeup product you can rely on is a quick dab of loose setting powder. Laura Mercier’s oil-control iteration wins Luthra’s vote. “Beyond working for all skin types, I especially choose to rely on this loose powder to set the under-eye concealer. It also serves as a saviour for ensuring makeup stays in place, especially for those with oily skin,” she recommends.
