I'm a sucker for balmy lip color — I love that slick feeling against my lips. These tiny tubes of lip paint fit perfectly in my purse, and the felt tip applicator makes it supereasy to apply on the go. The product, which comes in eight gorgeous, universally flattering colors, goes on smooth and creamy while offering major pigment and staying power. My lips stay smooth, hydrated and intensely colored all day long. — Hannah Savin
Getting my eyebrows just right always felt like a challenge until superskinny brow pencils came along. The ultrafine tip lets you draw precise, hair-like strokes exactly where you want them. The problem? You tear through the pencil so fast, which is especially heartbreaking when you drop close to $30 on the product. Enter L'Oreal's Brow Stylist Definer, a retractable, slim brow pencil that's every bit as good as the high-end brands, for one-third of the price. The formula goes on smoothly without any tugging. It's neither too waxy nor too creamy — and it blends like a dream. And dare I say, it lasts even longer than some of the other brands. — Jill Provost
At first glance, this eye shadow may look a little "disco ball," but hear me out. Palladio's metallic eye shadow is incredibly wearable — especially in the shimmery taupe Stardust shade. It lends itself beautifully to the slick-lid look that's so in right now, and it holds up well throughout the day. You could definitely swap this product in for more expensive shadows (like Make Up For Ever's Metallic Finish Artist Shadow and Kat Von D's Metal Crush Eyeshadow) without batting an eye. — Mary Squillace
Eyeliner preferences can be divisive, and I'm proudly on team eyeliner marker. I like the dark inkiness, and I find that they stay put better than most pencils or creams. However, when an eyeliner marker smudges, it really smudges, and the results are not pretty. This one is easy to apply, goes on superdark and doesn't transfer — the trifecta of eyeliner marker goodness. As an added bonus, it contains chamomile to moisturize lashes and calm irritation. — Dawn Davis
If I'm being honest, I tend to shy away from drugstore foundations. However, this one from Wet n Wild completely astonished me with its flawless coverage.
If you've ever tried Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Foundation and been completely obsessed with it like everyone else on the planet, then you're going to fall hard for this foundation. Not only does it make skin even, smooth and flawless, it provides great, buildable full coverage. It even lasts all day without getting patchy. Consider me a convert. — Jessica Amaris
