Promising review: "Love this pen! It’s perfect for on the go or around the world! Took it with me to Paris, Canada, and to regional chorus events. Holds up well, good quality product, doesn’t make my eyes water. Love, love, love! " —C&HM

Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in three shades).

Promising review: "I bought this on a whim while waiting in line, and impulse buying has finally paid off for me. I've been on a months-long hunt for a pale girl-friendly nude lip shade that's not warm and not pink, truly just a neutral "your lips but better" color for the office. And I FINALLY found it (shade ACE). Please, for the love of god, NEVER discontinue this. I'll need to buy a lifetime supply before you do. Not only is the shade perfect, but the formulation is top tier. Liner is creamy but doesn't move, and the lipstick is a hydrating satin that doesn't dry my lips and lasts hours. 1000000/10 recommend." —Jennie

Get it from Ulta for $14 (available in eight shades).

Promising review: "Beautiful! The packaging makes it super easy to dispense the product and convenient to take on the go. The pearly color worked well for my olive undertones. I use two methods for application. The first is just my hands: I'll warm the product up on the back of my hand, then apply it using my fingers to the high points of my cheeks and nose. The second: If I want a more precise application, I'll pick up the product with a brush and apply it to the inner corner of my eyes and brow bone. The product wears well and layers well both under and over powder. I'm interested in trying the more pink shade now! Highly recommend this!" —Jasmine

Get it from Ulta for $28 (available in six shades).

Promising reviews: "I have never gotten as many compliments on my lips until I bought this in 'wherever walnut.' I pair it with the vanilla Summer Fridays lip gloss, and it’s the perfect combo!" —klc14

"HOTTTT!!! Been loving this popping orange pencil. I bought it to use as an eyeliner, and it is such a fun summer color. Just adds a little spice to the eyes." —leatherette

Get it from Sephora for $26 (available in 20 shades and two finishes).

Promising review: "I have combo skin and have always worn full-coverage foundation. Wanted to change this and start wearing a more natural, clean-girl makeup look, and honestly, this foundation-concealer stick did not disappoint. It's like your skin but better and does not break me out. I will definitely be repurchasing." —ashley729

Get it from Sephora for $38 (available in 30 shades).

Promising review: "My shade is MARTA, and I can't live without this compact. I use it every day on my lids, cheeks, and to contour my nose in a subtle, natural way. The highlighter is my favorite. I apply it liberally to the high points on my face and enjoy the natural glow that lasts all day. Add 5 Point Lift, mascara, and lip balm, and my look is good for any day or night." —Nikolas F.

Get it from Isamaya for $29 (originally $39; available in eight shades).

Promising review: "I really like this brow glue. It keeps my eyebrows in place all day without feeling stiff or heavy. The formula is clear and gives a natural finish, which I love because it doesn’t leave any residue or flakes. It’s easy to apply and works well to shape and lift the brows. The packaging is nice, and the size is convenient to carry in a makeup bag. Overall, it does a great job keeping my brows looking neat and defined." —Cristina

Get it from Amazon for $9.26+ (available in three shades and a combo two-pack).

Promising reviews: "The best lip balm! Even works on my destroyed lips after a ski weekend where they were completely wind- and cold-chapped." —salator

"It took me forever to get around to trying Balm Dotcom, but holy cannoli, this salve deserves every bit of hype it gets. I’ve been using it on my lips and cuticles, and it’s super hydrating with lasting effects! My job is very tough on my hands, and I’ve noticed a huge difference in my cuticles. I’ll never not have a tube of this on hand!" —kristenanto

Get it from Sephora for $16 (available in 11 tints/scents).

Promising review: "Hello, new favorite! This stuff is excellent quality and blends so seamlessly into my light olive skin tone...and it is really, really hard to find a shade that works for me. Perfect for warmer weather and pairs excellently with natural cream blush/concealer/illuminator for that dewy no-makeup makeup look. Feels like I don’t have anything, which is a huge bonus. Highly recommend!" —Leanna

Get it from Amazon for $38 (available in 12 shades).

Promising review: "Love how lightweight these are! I purchased the peche and rose, and they are wonderful to add to my routine. They add color in a light and beautiful way. Must, must, must have for those who love a natural look, with just a dash of glam!" —Isidora

Get it from Westman Atelier for $58 (available in four shades).

Promising review: "I would give my firstborn and last for this. I’m obviously kidding, but I do love this so much! This is the only powder I use and has been for years. I can’t even explain how many times I’ve repurchased this." —SmalyChham

"Holy grail! Absolutely incredible. This powder brightens my under-eyes and blurs my pores so well. It keeps my oils at bay without emphasizing dry patches. I’ll be picking up another one for sure!!" —naun1

Get it from Sephora for $23+ (available in two sizes, 11 individual shades, and two dual-shades).

Promising review: "I don't usually write reviews, but this product warrants one. When it comes to highlighters or glow lotions, I don't like a ton of shine where my face looks like I've got high beams on. This 'glotion' provides the perfect balance of hydration and glow; it isn't drying whatsoever, and it lasts a while. For this price, don't think, just buy it and try it. You won't regret!" —City Boy

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes, five shades, and two-packs).

Promising review: "I’ve used this blush every day for two years, and I’m just now getting to the point of replenishing. As someone who tans really easily in the summer and loses it quickly in the winter, this shade is very versatile for me. I absolutely love this and WILL BE repurchasing." —karsinogen

Get it from Sephora for $24 (available in five shades).

Promising review: "HOLY GRAIL PRODUCT! Literally so glad I bought this after so much reluctance on if I could justify buying a $20 sponge. I got a great deal here on Amazon, and I went for it, and I have never gone back to using my hands or brushes to blend my foundation or concealer. This just gives an amazing finish to the skin." —Nadia

Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in nine colors and a combo two-pack).

Promising review: "Love this product! The texture is smooth. Packaging is cute and durable. There is no funky scent. The color and pigmentation are strong and last. Highly recommend! A very versatile product." —Monica

Get it from Ulta for $26.50 (available in six shades).

Get the color cream version for a rich, creamy, buildable pigment, or the tinted dew version for a dewier, sheer hint of color.

Promising review: "I bought several colors, and they're truly all amazing. I love that I can take one color (or more if I want) and be able to touch up lips, cheeks, and lids with one product. Easy to apply and fun to layer! I also love what the company stands for!" —Anna B.

Get it from Credo Beauty for $28 (available in two styles and 12 shades).

Promising review: "The colors are perfect. They are easy to apply and blend in flawlessly! Works well with my dry skin." —Sherri

Get it from Ulta for $36 (available in 10 shade combos).

Promising review: "I just have to brag about this product. I have always applied eyeshadow by starting with concealer as a base, setting it with powder, and then applying eyeshadow. I broke my dominant arm a while back, and blending became very difficult for me. I had never used liquid shadow before because I assumed it would be difficult to work with — messy, sticky, and tacky, among other things. This product gave me the ability to apply eyeshadow again, despite having very limited mobility. I swear, you barely have to manipulate it for it to blend seamlessly. Anyone with any skill level can create a product that blends into the skin flawlessly. It doesn't dry too quickly, but once it does, it is totally dry and doesn't leave tackiness. While I was struggling with my limited mobility, this product allowed me to apply my makeup again and feel like myself with very little effort, which was all I could manage at the time. I am grateful to have had this product during one of the hardest times of my life. I was very dependent on others for almost every other thing I had to do, but with this product, doing my makeup was something I was capable of, and it made my healing journey more bearable." —carleyc

Get it from Ulta for $17 (available in 32 colors).

Promising review: "i’ve tried every tinted sunscreen and moisturizer on the market and this has been the best one for me so far. i have extremely oily skin and so while others with dry skin say this is drying for them, it’s absolutely amazing for me. keeps my skin matte all day, with no oiliness which is unheard of for me previously." —Carriie

Get it from Sephora for $38 (available in 20 shades).

Promising review: "I love how evenly and smoothly this goes on my eyelids. What’s even better than that is that a blending brush/sponge is on the other end of the eyeshadow stick! It’s so handy because you don’t have to use your fingertips to blend the eyeshadow. I wear this every day to the gym. I sweat a ton, and this eyeshadow stays on. It’s a great product, and I think it’s priced fairly." —Kelly D–M

Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in 37 colors).

Promising review: "My daughter is a competitive athlete and loves to wear mascara, but hates when the mascara runs or is difficult to take off. Ere Perez to the rescue. Nice long mascara lashes (and the added benefit of brow gel) without the hassle! Thank you!" —Shantel B.

Promising review: "The color is very beautiful and resistant. I used it as eyeshadow or as eyeliner, and it is very transfer-proof even with a hooded eye. The color is very beautiful and complements my brown eyes. Also, I used Lune Liner in ultraviolet as a liner on top, and it made it pop very nicely. Love the product." —Andreea V.

Get it from Violette_FR for $32 (available in 17 shades and two finishes)

Promising review: "I purchased this tint in a couple of shades, and I have to say that I am incredibly impressed. It is not drying or uncomfortable. And the staying power! It seriously lasts eight-plus hours while wearing a mask, eating, drinking, sweating, and talking all day long. I soooo recommend this product." —Sharon

Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in 34 shades).

Promising review: "I LOVE this bronzer! This bronzer is a creamy powder, velvety to the touch, which makes applying it a breeze. I use it every day as contour/bronzer, and it does a beautiful job of warming up the skin while still looking natural. The formula doesn't have any glitter but has almost a satin finish, which leaves the skin looking glowy and radiant. And the smell! It's like a tropical vacation in a compact, I can't get enough. There are several shades of this bronzer, so if you think you need something lighter or darker, just try a different color. For reference, I have light/medium skin with warm/neutral undertones, and I think the classic bronzer shade looks perfect on me." —K. Jenkins

Get it from Amazon for $8.84+ (available in eight shades).

Promising review: "OMG! This is amazing, looks great, and has staying power! I am an older gal and love glitter... Do I look like a disco ball?... Yes...and I love it!" —Pate

Promising review: "A sparkle lover's dream!!! I’ve tried a few different shades of this product and loved all of them. The foils and sparkles are some of the most impactful in my collection, and I can use them over anything or on their own and get a look that lasts all night!" —planetclaire921

Get it from Sephora for $22 (available in tons of shades and three finishes).

Promising review: "Will be repurchasing! Love it!! It blends like a creamy powder and lasts all day!" —Julia

Get it from Ulta for $34 (available in five shades).

Promising review: "I really like the highlighter palette. It goes on light and doesn't feel overly 'highlighted,' but I like the fact that I can layer to get a more glowy effect. I will definitely buy again when I need to." —Amanda R

Promising review: "I don’t know how to do makeup. This eyeliner is awesome! A simple stamp for the wings, and I just fill in the rest. It glides on smoothly and lasts all day and sometimes through to the evening. Even through sweat. I have hooded eyelids, and this eyeliner with its magic opens up my eyes and makes me look like I’ve gotten a good night's rest. 😁" —Gomez

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in three wing sizes and a combo pack).

Promising review: "I love love love this product! Creamy and glowy. I use it as a cream blush, on my lids, and on my lips. Such a pretty color. Blends incredibly well and holds up as a blush even in humidity or through sweat. Buildable. Gives a dewy/shiny highlighted look that's great for adding luminosity and brightening on mature skin." —Sarah

Get it from Amazon for $5 (available in seven shades).

Promising reviews: "I didn’t know what to expect when I received this product, but I have to say I am pleasantly surprised! I absolutely love it! I put it on as soon as it arrived. I kept it on for almost a minute, and when I wiped it off with a damp cotton ball, the color was beautiful. It’s true to its word about the 12-hour stay power. I put a little lip balm over it and enjoyed eating, drinking, and talking. It didn’t come off! If you like lip stains, get this product! It’s a keeper. I will be ordering all of the shades." —Brandy

"The color, first of all, is highly pigmented and gorgeous. It's super dry once the mask is wiped off, and I applied a shimmery gloss over top, and it looked great. Now, for the true testament — it is currently 90 degrees Fahrenheit, full sun, just literally balls hot. I work in education, and today we walked the pre-k students to the park next door for 90 minutes. I sweat off my under-eye concealer, I looked like I was crying mascara streaks because the sweat was dripping down my face chasing them kids around...but these lips... These lips still look snatched! They look as good as when I put it on four hours before." —Emily Owens
