Being a woman is hard, we have to put on many hats and fulfill our responsibilities. To make the situation even more complex, our society and sometimes we, ourselves, set unrealistic expectations which result in depression, unnecessary worry and loss of confidence.

That is something we do not want.

No matter what the challenges are, we should be confident and trust ourselves to overcome them, maybe with support from a friend or little help from our favorite beauty products.

Every woman should have five products they can rely on completely to make them look polished and feel their best.

a full coverage concealer:

Concealer is more important than a foundation. You can skip your foundation completely if you find the correct concealer that stays put. Just a little dab on the problem areas, set it and you will be looking fresh in no time. Nobody will even guess you pulled an all-nighter.

products for specific hair/skin type:

Before you try any skin or hair care product, it’s important to know about your skin and hair type first. Do you have dry or oily skin? Is your hair straight or curly? If you know the answers to these questions, you can go for products meant for these types. Your skin and hair may change depending on weather, hormones and health conditions, but you can always improvise and choose products that benefit you.

a power lipstick:

It doesn’t matter what color of lipstick you prefer — be it pink, plum, red or neutral — if a color makes you feel powerful and good about yourself, that is your “power” lipstick. For me it’s a matte, cool-toned red. I feel polished and ready even if I am not wearing any kind of makeup.

a signature perfume:

Finding a signature perfume may sound hard, but it’s not actually. Just go for a scent that you like and that stays on for a good amount of time. Smell can trigger memories, so if you can find a perfume that you love and wear it whenever you are in a happy mood or good situation, it will train your brain to feel the same happiness whenever you apply it, thus making you more enthusiastic and accomplished.

a neutral eyeshadow palette:

Many women do not wear eyeshadows on a daily basis, but if you have one good neutral palette in your collection, you can use it for any occasion for any time of the day. Liner, highlighter, brow powder — a neutral eyeshadow palette can work as all these products.

What is a neutral palette, you ask?

A neutral palette is one with brown or skin-toned colors in various finishes. A good palette will have at least six to eight colors from off-white or bonewhite to darkest brown or black.

At the end of the day what matters most is how the product makes you feel. Are you happy after using it?

Is the product making your life easier? Is the product “you”?

If the answer to these questions is “yes,” you have found your signature beauty products, and these are going to boost your confidence. So invest in your favorite perfume, buy the lipstick that you love, and be the strong woman that you are!
