My Go-To Makeup & Beauty Favorites
Not every product deserves a spot in my kit. These are the items I actually use, tested for real skin, long-lasting comfort, and the perfect finish. No sponsored fluff, just what works.
For everyone asking about this SRK-inspired lip shade, here it is. It's an affordable, super comfortable brown lipstick with a non-drying formula that I've been loving.
I was right, this has become my new favorite affordable lipstick. It's a beautiful pink that suits many skin tones, and the formula is comfortable, non-drying, and long-lasting.
This all-in-one palette is a must-have for any makeup lover or artist. It has eyeshadows, blush, contour, and highlighter, making it perfect for travel or just simplifying your kit.
This product gives you a magical glow that even my daughter can't resist. It's perfect for adding a dewy, healthy radiance to the skin, whether worn alone or over makeup.
About My Go-To Products
Before you buy, remember: not everything expensive is good, and not everything viral is worth the hype. When I test products for my kit, I look for how they sit on real skin, pores and all. If it cakes or feels heavy after two hours, it is out. Stick to formulas that feel breathable because, honestly, you want to be comfortable at your event, not just look pretty for the first five minutes.
How I Build My Kit
People ask me all the time, 'Manjeet, what do you use?' The truth is, my kit is a mix of high-end staples and affordable gems that perform better than the expensive stuff. I do not care about the brand name if the product does not deliver.
The Essentials
- The All-In-One Palette: When I am traveling for a shoot or just do not want to carry a suitcase full of makeup, I reach for a versatile palette. If it has good shimmers, mattes, and a solid contour shade in one go, I am sold.
- The 'SRK-Inspired' Lip: You know the one. I look for formulas that are non-drying and actually stay put through a meal. If I have to touch up every twenty minutes, it is not worth it.
- The Dewy Glow: For that healthy, skin-like radiance, I use products that blur, not mask. If your skin looks like plastic, we have gone too far.
My Philosophy on Products
I test everything on myself first. I have pores, I have lines, and sometimes I have a breakout—just like you. If a foundation makes my skin look textured or dry, it is never touching my client's face.
How to Choose
Stop following influencers who use twenty filters. Start looking at how a product behaves on normal skin under natural light. If you are ever confused about what to buy for your own vanity, ping me. I am happy to tell you what is worth your money and what is just a pretty package.

I am Manjeet. If I am not blending highlighter, I am probably booking flights or cheering for RCB. I love makeup that feels like real skin, and I never recommend anything I have not put to the test myself.
