The Essential Mascara
We love a clean mascara and this one really hits the mark. The water and sweat-resistant formula means you won’t see any racoon eyes, just long beautiful lashes. You can also build up the layers for a more dramatic look. This Think Dirty Team fave also just launched in brown! You can now get a beautiful, natural look in a color that suits your unique coloring.
The Universal Crème
All our Dirty Thinkers know we love a multi-tasking product. Elate Cosmetics Universal Crème is all you need for a sweet Valentine’s Day look. The perfect balance of hydration and pigment will leave both your lips and cheeks with a perfect flush. Pair it with their Essential Mascara in black or brown for a complete look! This product is also sold as a refill so you can minimize your waste. Learn how to contour using blush on Elate’s Instagram or browse their other products and build a full palette.
