Confused about foundation shades or how to spot fake products? I'm sharing my professional vanity secrets to help you invest in the right products for your kit.

You always ask for affordable foundations. Here are my top recommendations for foundations under 1500 rupees, including brands like Europe Girl and Shopaarel, that give amazing, full coverage for side makeup looks.

If you have the budget for high-end foundations, these are my all-time favourites. I'm talking about Bobbi Brown, Estée Lauder, NARS, and Huda Beauty. I'll tell you which ones give a dewy finish and which ones are full coverage.

So many DMs about Estée Lauder Double Wear shades! For Indian skin tones, I recommend Sand for fair skin, Tawny and Cashew for medium, and Honey Bronze or Bronze for darker tones. I've even swatched them for you.

Confused about which Bobbi Brown foundation shades to keep in your vanity? For fair skin, go for Sand. For medium, N052 is great. For warmer, darker tones, you can use 064 or 066.

For NARS foundations, these are the essential shades for your kit. Gobi or Stromboli for fair tones, the all-time favourite Punjab for medium, and Barcelona or Cadiz for dusky skin tones.

Primer is so important for long-lasting makeup. I'm sharing my top picks for both high-end primers like Milk and Huda Beauty, and amazing budget-friendly options like Plume and Recode that give a similar gripping effect.

Which illuminating primer should you buy? If you have the budget, NARS is a fantastic one-time investment for that evening glow. If not, don't worry! Max Touch and Revolution have great hydrating primers under 1000 rupees.

Looking for a dupe for the expensive Embryolisse moisturizer? I've got you covered. You can get a similar amazing hydration level with Bioderma, Faces Canada, or Plum moisturizers.

It's so important to spot fake products. I'll show you the difference between an original and a fake B Perfect eyeshadow palette. Look for the weight, font clarity, and the MRP sticker on the back. Don't get fooled!

I've found a great budget-friendly gel liner for you. This one from Faces Canada is intense, smooth, waterproof, and smudge-proof. It even comes with a smudger brush and a sharpener, all for an MRP of 575.
