Here’s the thing. Whether you’re a makeup junkie or novice, it’s always overwhelming when you have to walk to a beauty stand and decide what to use. Fret no more. At WH quarters we’ve rounded up the best makeup for 2018 and some that have stood the test of time. Here is the most coveted make-up for the year. They also make the perfect gifts…
Best face-finishing powder
This loose finishing powder can be used with any foundation shade because it works with the foundation without changing its colour. Use it to set, seal and dry your make-up and keep that dewy, I-just-did-my-face look even hours after you’ve left the gym mirror. Coverderm Finishing Powder (R460) available at Dis-Chem.
Best eyeliner
Looking for laser precision? This liner gives it to you. Check out the wheel tip that gives control for an unprecedented smooth, straight line every time. Cat-eye all night, every night. Revlon ColorStay Exactify Liquid Liner (R199) available at Zando.

Best lip tint
We love this tint because it lets you choose the colour intensity you want – apply one coat for a barely there look or continue applying for an intense pout. It’s also “kiss proof” and could last up to 300 kisses (wink). Clarins Water Lip Stain (R300) available at Clarins.
