5 Products Under Rs.500 To Help You Look Your Best This Festive Season.

Hi guys! Hope you all are doing great! Thank you for all the love you have given to the festive season series.

Trying to look your best can be a little heavy on your pocket during the festive season. However you don’t need to be worried. Compact Matters is here to your rescue. We have come up with a list of 5 products to help you glam up your look for the festive season.

PAC Pure Pigmented Eyeshadows retail for Rs.250 each. They are highly pigmented and perfect for this festive season. Since they are individually sold you can choose exactly the colour that go well with your outfit. An overall wash of only one colour is also more than sufficient to make your eyes pop. You do not need any brushes for these eyeshadows too. They apply well with your fingers as well. I have them in 12 and 16. If you would like to see the look I create with these for Diwali, follow me on my Instagram.

Incolour Matte Me Lip Creams retail for Rs.200.These are dupes for the Sleek Matte Me lip creams. They have an amazing formula and dry totally matte within a minute. They have a variety of shades. However I love the shade 415. It is my go to colour when I do not have time to think and is always in my bag. I would prefer these over the Miss Claire lip creams that are also very popular.

Sivanna Colors Shimmer Brick retails for Rs.350. A lot of brands have similar shimmer bricks like Bobbi Brown and Revlon. However at less than half the price, the Sivanna Shimmer Brick does exactly the same thing like any of them. You can use it as a highlighter, blush, bronzer or even eyeshadow. You can use individual shades, mix a few of them or just swirl your brush around all of them.It is available in a few shades that complement the Indian skin tone really well. This shade is 04.

L’Oreal Mat Magique Powder retails for Rs.400. It is available in 5 shades. For people who do not like wearing a foundation or a BB cream, this is the product they should go for. It provides reasonable coverage, has high longevity and helps your skin stay matte for long hours. The packaging is neat and it comes with a mirror and an applicator. The only downside of this product is that it has SPF 34 which may not photograph well.

Nykaa Nail Enamel retails between Rs.150 to 200 depending on the range. I absolutely love the Nykaa Nail Enamel. They have an amazing quality and a huge variety in terms of colour range. They do not chip off easily. They apply extremely smoothly. I personally own 17 of these and want to add some more colours to my collection. This shade is Lavender Drizzle.This product was recently awarded at the Elle Beauty awards as well.
