What are your favourite Beauty/makeup items and why?

Is there such a thing as one favourite beauty item? I’m obsessed with a lot of items at the moment for way too many reasons. Quick list from the top of my head – Kevyn Aucoine skin enhancer (honestly the best full coverage concealer on this planet), Carli Bybel for BH Cosmetics eyeshadow and highlighter palette, Lancome 24 Hr Teint idole foundation,  Colour pop cosmetics liquid lipsticks in the shade ‘Guess’, ‘Rooch’, and ‘LAX’
