Estée Lauder’s tried-and-true foundation has found many fans thanks to its lightweight texture that gives a 24-hour, natural matte finish. The oil-free and waterproof foundation imparts a medium to full buildable coverage and is sweat-, heat- and humidity-resistant.

Dior’s cushion foundation is a well-loved icon, thanks to pansy and rose extracts that deliver long-lasting hydration while staying put on the skin for up to 24 hours. It gives medium coverage, blends seamlessly and provides SPF 35 PA+++ coverage.

Get your hands on this if you have a combination or oily skin type. Despite quickly drying to a satin matte finish, the formula remains buildable and imparts good coverage. It also feels comfortable and lasts several hours without oxidising. Salicylic acid further helps combat skin imperfections.

With a serum-like texture and a crease-, humidity and sweat-resistant formula, the Fenty Beauty undereye brightener provides sheer to buildable longwear coverage. Use it on its own for a no-makeup makeup look or underneath concealer to really brighten and conceal the undereyes.

This cult favourite concealer lives up to the hype, with a creamy texture that glides on to hide those dark circles – a little goes a long way and it leaves a satin matte finish. Licorice root brightens up the skin, while shea butter and mango butter nourish and smooth.

Say goodbye to fussing with drawing brows on the daily with KH Brow Studio’s Misty Brow microshading technique. The method uses small dots rather than hairlike strokes (thereby making it better for those with sensitive and oily skin types) to create your desired brow effect with inks lasting between one to two years depending on your skin condition.

This creamy pencil lipstick goes on matte and the non-feathering, waterproof formula delivers enough staying power (it promises up to 11 hours of wear) that’ll last you through all the munching on pineapple tarts.
