Model Irena Drezi on affordable foundation, the easiest liquid eyeliner and the cheap serum that completely changed her skin.

Irena Drezi

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Moisturiser, €11.45

One of my go-to face creams, it’s super hydrating and lightweight. Great for oily skin.

REN Perfect Canvas Clean Jelly Oil Cleanser, €29

I always double cleanse, this really melts makeup off and leaves the skin feeling clean.

The Ordinary. Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, €6.45

I use this daily as a serum, it completely changed my skin. It really helps skin look healthier and firmer and also regulates sebum production and minimizes redness.

L.A Girl Pro Coverage Illuminating Foundation, €10.95

My most used foundation. It’s long-lasting and you don’t need a lot. It’s very buildable so you can definitely get great coverage with this and of course, the price is amazing. The shade I wear is Warm Beige.

L.A Girl HD Pro Concealer, €5.95

Another great inexpensive product I use every time I do my make-up. It’s very easy to blend and lightweight – great for under eyes. I use shade Natural.

Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder, €45

You’ve heard about this powder already but it’s hands down the best setting powder I’ve ever used! A must for oily skin.

Primark Toffee Lip Liner, €2

This is the most important product in my bag. I have over twenty of these, it’s by far my favourite lip product ever. It’s literally what I wear all the time.

REFY Lip Sculpt, €21

I adore these liners! Really long-lasting and easy to apply. Always have one with me everywhere I go. My fave shades are Blush and Taupe.

Eyeko Liquid Eyeliner Pen, €22

If eyeliner is a tricky one for you, try this pen. It’s super pigmented and glides so smoothly. Definitely much easier to use than a brush. Depending on if you want a thinner or thicker liner, this one is really easy to use.

Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick, €32

The best lipstick I’ve ever used. Really creamy and pigmented, long-lasting and hydrating. My fave shades are Pillow Talk and Super You.

Maybelline Colossal Curl Bounce Mascara, €12.45

My go-to mascara, really pigmented and doesn’t dry out my lashes. Don’t forget to always curl those lashes before mascara!

REFY Cream Blush in Malaya, €16

Super creamy, easy to blend and gives a gorgeous healthy glow. My fave shade is Malaya and I use it on the high points of my cheeks and a small bit on the bridge of my nose for that sun-kissed look.

Mugler Angel Nova Perfume, €61.45

Anyone who knows me knows how much I adore this perfume. It’s really sweet and alluring, lasts long and is one of my most complimented perfumes.

Murad AHA / BHA Exfoliating Cleanser, €44.45

This is a great physical exfoliant, it’s gentle and really leaves my skin feeling clean and smooth. I use this about two to three times a week.

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream, €30

Last but not least, my all-time favourite moisturiser! This is hands down the nicest face cream I’ve used. It smells and feels amazing. Super hydrating and my skin feels amazing every time I use it. It contains SPF to protect you from the sun which is always important.
