In the age of hyperbole, how do you really tell if a product is really worth your money? Well, that’s why you have us. We know which foundations feel like second skin, the mascaras that dramatise your every wink, or the red lipstick that makes you feel like a retro movie star every time you wear it (if you know, you know). And now, we also have the makeup favourites our customers couldn’t stop buying in 2021.
A peek at Nykaa’s makeup bestsellers of 2021 suggests a good mix of cult classics and new players. While the stars of the show still remain the MUA favourites, a few newcomers have the upper hand with people who love to try out new labels and shades. How many of these bestsellers do you have in your cabinet?
