Not every celebrity may be keen on cosmetics, but if they travel, chances are they're going to find a gift bag full of them on the other side. When it comes to festivals like TIFF, most of these bags are stuffed with multi-taskers and new product releases to keep the talent looking as fresh as possible on the red carpet, and this year's goodies are no different.
We did some research to figure out which items would best help keep any look in check in Toronto's unpredictable fall. After a peek at 2016's TIFF hamper, courtesy of Bask-It-Style, as well as a thorough re-evaluation of our own favourites, the results are in. Surviving the red carpet means maximum glamour with minimum fuss, and here are this season's key players.
When it comes to lips, if you don’t use them, you lose them, so it’s best to keep them strong and striking when they’ve got to compete with the rest of your red carpet look. A rich berry or a mauve-pink never hurt, but real divas reach for the standouts, and Mary Kay’s Gel Semi-Matte Lipstick ($21) in Poppy Please delivers just the right mix of confidence and dazzle, with a buttery texture to boot.
