STREET STOP : Beauty Must Haves

–CIRCUS' designated beauty experts, Angelica Ruiz and Taylor Scheibe, went out into the bustling streets of Michigan Avenue to ask stylish sidewalkers what the one beauty product they could not live without was. Their responses below reflect what women today, of all colors and backgrounds, are currently loving and should help inspire your next beauty product binge. 

“I would grab Benefit’s Pore Perfecting cream. You like put it on your face, like on your cheeks. It's like my absolute favorite product you could say, just because it smooths out all the little guys.” –KAILYN DAVIS

TRY THIS :

Benefit, The POREfessional, $31.

"I think that would be my mascara and my eyeliner. I can't go without it. Like I don't have to rock with foundation or anything, but mascara and eyeliner are like my go-to beauty products. I get my eyeliner at the corner store around my house for a dollar. I don't want to pay like five dollars for my eyeliner or my mascara." –MONSURAT YUSEF

TRY THIS :

Nicka K Eye Pencil, $1. 

"Concealer, just in case I have a blemish or pimple that I need to cover up really quickly. Also, if you oversleep or something, concealer really like makes your eyes pop and kind of hides the bags under your eyes. I use Hourglass, but I'm out of it so right now I’m using this Este Lauder one that I have, which I'm not really a big fan of, but you know." –ALEXIS ALLOTTA

TRY THIS :

Hourglass Hidden Corrective Concealer, $32.

KIRSTY DUNBAR: 

“Foundation I think. I use a mousse by  L’Oreal, is it? Dream Matte Mouse, I think it’s called, because that’s sort of the easiest to apply. It’s really easy to just put on. ”

“It’s my one dollar e.l.f. liquid eyeliner. I love it—It’s the best one. It doesn’t come off ever. It’s a dollar and I would just rather wear eyeliner than mascara. I feel like every girl either has to have one or the other, I just like eyeliner better. My eyelashes are already really long.” –ALEXANDRA ROUECHE

e.l.f. Essential Liquid Eyeliner, $1. 

“My Anastasia brow powder in Taupe. I have to have my eyebrows on. I just have NYX on today because I can’t find it. I just moved. But, my Anastasia brow powder is a big thing. It’s the only real blonde I can find. You either get like a real warm blonde or a like brown. So color wise, it’s the best I’ve found.” –STEPHANIE MARTIN
