Photo 5/17
Best Brows
Editors' Pick Winner: Bobbi Brown Perfectly Defined Long-Wear Brow Pencil
Why: The slanted tip of this 16-hour brow pencil lets you draw soft or defined lines for the brows of your dreams. Use the attached spoolie to blend and put every hair into place.

Honorable Mention: Maybelline New York EyeStudio Brow Drama Sculpting Brow Mascara

Readers' Choice Winner: It Cosmetics Brow Power Universal Brow Pencil
Why: I have extremely sparse brows and am always looking for brow makeup that is really natural-looking. This product is great. I have places where I have no hair, and this applies well to bare skin. With short feathery strokes I can get a very natural look.

Honorable Mention: Anastasia Brow Powder Duo

Best Concealer
Editors' Pick Winner: Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer
Why: This ultra-lightweight concealer is packed with anti-aging ingredients, so it gets rid of fine lines while masking imperfections. Did we mention it stays put all day long?

Honorable Mention: L'Oréal Paris Visible Lift Blur Concealer

Readers' Choice Winner: Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Flawless Wear Concealer
Why: This concealer is my definite go-to for nice coverage. I apply it to my under-eye area and any other small blemishes. Within seconds, the discoloration is gone, and my skin looks flawless.

Honorable Mention: Make Up For Ever Full Cover Extreme Camouflage Cream

Best Eye Shadow
Editors' Pick Winner: Hourglass Modernist Eyeshadow Palette
Why: If ever there were a vanity-worthy palette, this is it. Not only are the shades breathtaking, they're also crazy-pigmented, incredibly silky and look just as gorgeous on as they do in the packaging.

Honorable Mention: Sonia Kashuk Pearlescence Long Wear Crème Shadow

Readers' Choice Winner: M.A.C. Eye Shadow
Why: M.A.C. eye shadows are my favorite. I love the wide palette of colors. They are very blendable and wear a long time. Best of all is that each one lasts forever, and doesn't fade.

Honorable Mention: Urban Decay Eyeshadow

Best Eye Liner
Editors' Pick Winner: Make Up For Ever Graphic Liner
Why: This inky liquid liner applies like a dream, thanks to the very thin tip that gives you total control. Once it's on, it won't budge until you wash your face.

Honorable Mention: NYX Cosmetics Two Timer Dual Ended Eyeliner

Readers' Choice Winner: Revlon ColorStay Eye Liner
Why: This eyeliner glides on smooth and has excellent staying power. The color is rich, deep and really makes my eyes pop. I love that it is non-irritating, even for my sensitive eyes.

Honorable Mention: Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil

Best Foundation
Editors' Pick Winner: Nars All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation
Why: This lightweight, stay-all-day foundation offers flawless, invisible coverage with just one drop. The dewy -- but never shiny -- oil-free formula is dispensed via pump, making application that much easier.

Honorable Mention: Rimmel London Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation

Readers' Choice Winner: Clinique Even Better Makeup SPF 15
Why: After years of buying foundation, I've finally found the perfect one. Applied with a brush, this disappears into my skin, evening me out without looking like I have anything on. I've had zero breakouts and nothing but compliments on my skin.

Honorable Mention: Revlon ColorStay Makeup for Normal/Dry Skin
