Makeup can be life-changing, and with so many new launches in the beauty industry, it’s easy to get carried away with trying and testing tons of makeup products. Sometimes you just need a makeup product that you know is good and will do what it’s supposed to do. I’ve come up with a list of the best holy grail makeup products that every girl should know about, so you can use and buy them over and over again without fail.
The Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water cleanses your face and removes your makeup all at the same time. It’s powerful, but gentle on your skin, and it leaves your face feeling clean and refreshed after a day of full-face makeup. It’s made for all skin types, helps control oils, and hydrates. It’s the perfect alternative to makeup wipes, especially if you hate the greasy residue that wipes tend to give.

It’s one of the most popular setting sprays, and makeup artists swear by it because it truly does what it’s supposed to do.
