Alcone Non-Latex Sponges, $2.50 for one block
Murphy eschews high-end makeup sponges in favor of this super-cheap bulk buy. "This is my go-to sponge to get perfect skin and blend anything to flawlessness," Murphy says.



Bhatty says she "can't live without" these "subtle" and affordable faux lashes, which are available in four styles: Full, Classic, Refined and Flirty. "Picky Lash Clusters are absolutely amazing and a kit essential of mine," says Bhatty. "[They're] absolutely beautiful every single time."

Makeup artist Elisa Flowers, who has done Rose Leslie's makeup, loves this Japanese brow pen/pencil duo for making "sparse eyebrows" look "full and natural." "The felt tip is incredible for drawing tiny hairs that blend gorgeously into brows," she says of the brow product.

Elmer's All-Purpose School Glue Stick, $1.99 for 4
Tasha Brown, who has worked with Gigi Hadid and Jill Scott, uses this grade-school art-class throwback to tame brows. "For modern, day-to-day use, nothing holds brows up better," she says. "Use with a toothbrush or clean mascara wand to brush thick or unruly hairs upward." Brown recommends using an oil-based cleanser to wash off the product at the end of the day.

Cherman says these eye drops are great for "tired eyes," eliminating "redness and irritation" and "leaving the whites of the eyes super bright." She says they're also great for quickly and painlessly cleaning up eye-makeup mistakes. "It instantly gets rid of the makeup without irritating or burning your eyes like some makeup removers do," she explains.
