Aqua Cream from Make Up For Ever
“I like Make Up For Ever’s new Aqua Cream. It comes in 22 different colours and you can use them as eyeshadow, blush or lipstick, depending on the shade. My favourite colour for the eyes is Steel and I like to wear it for a night out because it’s an intense, metallic shade. It won’t budge all night long. I also like that even though it’s waterproof, it comes off very easily with a little bit of eye makeup remover.” – Maria Barillaro, Beauty Booty 4-1-1

HD Feline Mascara from Lise Watier
“I like Lise Watier‘s new Feline HD Waterproof Mascara because it’s really long-lasting. It defines the lashes and keeps them curled for hours. With regular mascara, sometimes the lashes can fall flat by the end of the day. It’s also a great choice if you’re going to be taking photos at a special occasion, like a wedding, because the black colour is really intense and photographs well.” – MB

Extra Rich Lipstick from Clé de Peau Beauté
« Clé de Peau Beauté makes a really great lipstick called Extra Rich. I wear it in T2 Just Joey. It’s a neutral shade with a slight caramel hue. It’s very hydrating and it lasts all day. I usually go for this colour when I have really heavy eye makeup because it balances my look. It’s a really unique lipstick because it’s square shaped. I don’t even use lip liner with it because I can just slide the flat edge along my lips and it does the job.” – MB

Lipglass from MAC
“MAC’s original lipglass is one-of-a-kind. It’s one of the longest lasting lip products out there. I always use the clear one. I wear it alone sometimes, but I usually also wear it on top of lipstick. It preserves the colour underneath and my lips stay shiny for hours. Its thick formula adheres really well to the lips and it doesn’t bleed.” – MB

Waterproof Retractable Eyeliner from Noir Cosmetics
“I use the Waterproof Retractable Eyeliner from Noir Cosmetics everyday. It’s great because you never have to sharpen it. You just turn the bottom to extend the crayon. The colour is intensely black and it lasts all day. It’s a very smooth and blendable crayon so it glides on easily. I use it on my upper and lower lash line but it’s especially handy for the lower lash line because normally, eyeliner disappears from that area a little quicker. I also like that even though it doesn’t fade throughout the day, it can be easily removed with makeup remover so I don’t have traces of it stuck on my eyes for days.” -MB

Sensibio H20 from Bioderma
Although you want your makeup to survive heat, sweat or rain, at the end of the day, it’s got to come off. Read on to find out about Maria’s favourite 2-in-1 makeup remover.
“Lately I’ve been using a makeup remover and cleanser from Bioderma. It’s not oily, like most makeup removers and it cleanses the skin at the same time. You can just wipe off your makeup with a cotton pad and you don’t even have to rinse off the residue so it’s really quick and easy. It’s smells very fresh, too and it hydrates the skin, which is really important to me.” – MB
