HAYLEY'S BAG @hayley_elsaesser
When it comes to makeup I love to use colour to really have fun and set off my look. This NYX eye shadow pallet is my go-to, especially when travelling because there are so many possibilities for combinations and the colour payoff is amazing.
I always use my Annabelle eye primer to make sure the colour pops and doesn't move throughout the day.
On a day when I'm in more of a rush but still want to look put together, I reach for coloured liners. I love these pastel liners from Annabelle, and how they bring out the colour of my eyes.
Not only is the packaging for this Benefit Cosmetics super cute with the heart-eye smiley face, the foundation itself is incredible. It has great coverage, but feels incredibly light.
I'm a sucker for all things shiny, so I always have this MAC glitter at hand.
This Lise Watier base is just so aesthetically pleasing it feels magical to use every day. It has beautiful, illuminating sparkles to give a subtle glow beneath your foundation.
I love lipstick, and clearly my go to is from my collab with Annabelle cosmetics. It's incredibly pigmented, but hydrating so I love it in the cooler weather especially.
I'm a sucker for a super iridescent highlighter, and this pink toned Hololighter from Annabelle is one of my favourites.
This MAC lip gloss in Lunar Module sets off any makeup look and really takes it to an otherworldly level with it's icy iridescence.
We all know brows are the curtains to the windows of our soul, so I love this Benefit foolproof brow powder to make sure my brows are looking noice.
In the winter months my already pale skin turns a frightening shade of white, so I love to use this Hoola bronzer to bring some life into my face.
I always have some cute, colourful clips on hand to tame my wild hair, and add an extra pop to any look.
CINDY'S BAG @cindyjun
I definitely am the makeup minimalist of the group! When I was a teenager first learning about makeup I would watch makeup tutorials and found that they never looked good with my monolid eyes and I found it really frustrating. Since then I have learned to really embrace my monolids and love how they look with no makeup, which has seeped into the rest of my makeup routine.
I have dry skin so I am really struggling with the winter. Facial oils have changed the moisturizing game for me. I use a Rosehip Oil from The Ordinary (which is under $10!). I have a cold right now so this is great around my nose. You can also use it on your hair!
Glossier Rose Balm Dotcom is basically Vaseline with a bit of a rose sent. I just love the packaging.
Annabelle Brow Fiber Gel is a more affordable Glossier Boy Brow. I have thick eyebrows so this helps to keep the wiry hairs in place. I love a brushed up, groomed brow.
I love a girly glow on the cheeks. Glossier Cloud Paint fades pretty quickly but I’m determined to finish the tube before I get another blush. Looks stunning when I first put it on though.
I’m definitely not a liquid lipstick girl. I prefer a sheer colour that makes my lips look stained. I love this brownish-red shade by Bobbi Brown. I went through a vampire phase in my early teens so I think the blood-stained look has seeped into my aesthetic subconscious.
My Mario Badescu Rosewater Facial Spray was a purchase was inspired by Hayley because I would see her in the office spraying something on her face all the time. I’m obsessed with moisturizing so this is a good way to give your skin a little something throughout the day.
MEL'S BAG @xmellokitty
When it comes to my makeup look I love accentuating my favourite facial features (at least I believe they're my best features) which are my eyes and my lips.
I tend to focus my everyday look around eyeliner, eyelashes and some sort of lipstick in addition to my base.
I bounce back and forth between Mac Pro long wear (waterproof or regular) and Fenty Pro Filt'r foundation. These two are my go to because I find that coverage and colour are the best for my skin. Trying to find the perfect colour match is difficult for me so once I find the right shade I never look else where! For concealer I mainly use it under my eyes to brighten my dark circles, I like Laura Mercier cause it's pretty light weight and won't crease.
I'm already pretty tanned, but as much as I love my cheeks I like to contour with Too Faced chocolate bronzers to slim them down a little. THEY ALSO SMELL LIKE HEAVEN. I love sweets so anything that smells good I'll probably buy it.
I love peachy, coral blushes. They compliment my skin tone best so I stick with Milani baked blushes!

My absolute favourite highlight is Color Pop x Hello Kitty super shock cheek highlighters. They're creamy and easy to apply! Plus lets get real, I'm obsessed with Hello Kitty.
I love marker/felt tip eyeliners! They're so easy for me to draw with. I usually bounce between Fenty Flyliner and NYX liners. Also trying new liner colours is cool! Tried the NYX blue recently and LOVE IT!)
I love using warmer shadows on my eyes, I use the Sephora Pro pallet when I'm at home but on the go I take my Makeup Forever quad with me for touch ups!
I'm not ready to invest in extensions -- also my eyes are dry. So I stick with falsies! The more dramatic the better. I go to Vancouver every summer to check out the Richmond Night Market to stock up on my lashes! Favourite lash glue is the Duo brush-on glue in black!
I LOVE liquid lipsticks. I hate having to reapply so liquid is the best way. The colourful/darker the better. I'm not into light nude lipsticks. It blends into my skin too much and I feel like an alien.
ETHAN'S BAG @sadie.mae.glutz
Ben Nye Clown White is the only base I can use to pull off a clown inspired look. It’s super thick, has major coverage, and is great for blending with other cream colours. This stuff doesn’t clown around.
Ben Nye Super White Powder is what I use to set the Clown White cream colour. It’s great for highlighting the face too, if you are going for a more “natural” look.
The Kat Von D “I Am Divine” eyeshadow palette is my favourite makeup product I own. I love literally everything about it. 10 dog shit eating John Waters drag queens out of 10.
The Fenty Beauty Killawatt Foil Freestyle Highlighter Duo with “Mimosa Sunrise” and “Sangria Sunset” is something that I use for coloured blush, or an unnatural highlight. I’ll also throw it on the eyes, because why the hell not.
The Kat Von D tattoo liner is my go-to for adding graphic elements to my looks. I don’t mess with winged liner, so I use it more like a pen on fleshy paper.
My NYX Coloured Mascara in “Mint Julep” is great for adding to my clown fantasies. I can’t be bothered with fake lashes, and if getting a sea foam coloured mascara is an option, I’m going to pick that one.
I seem to always gravitate to blue lip colours and Jeffrey Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipstick in “Jawbreaker” is by far the best one I’ve tried. It lasts, it’s comfortable, and makes my teeth look so yellow. It’s perfect.
Ben Nye Tooth Colour in Black is basically nail polish for your teeth. You can paint in gaps, chips, or just get rid of teeth all together. Nothing beats a really messed up smile when you paint like a clown. I love looking like a nightmare.
