Foundation
Revlon ColorStay is the foundation I recommend to everyone who tells me their makeup doesn't last. The 24-hour wear claim is actually real. I've worn this through long work days, weddings, and summer heat and it still looked fresh at the end of the n...
Revlon Colorstay Foundation
I have oily skin and finding a foundation that doesn't slide off by noon has always been a struggle. NYX Can't Stop Won't Stop changed that. Full coverage, matte finish, stays put for a full 24 hours without touch-ups. NYX Professional Makeup is know...

Correcting Cream
I switched to the e.l.f. Camo CC Cream on a whim and have not gone back to my old foundation. It has SPF 30, medium-to-full coverage, a skin-loving formula with hyaluronic acid, and it blends like an absolute dream. My skin looks genuinely better whe...

Eyeshadow
I was genuinely shocked by the quality of this Wet n Wild palette when I first tried it. It's a cool-toned eyeshadow palette with buttery and blendable shadows that resemble what you'd find at Sephora, except it's only $13. The pigment is rich, it bl...
Palettes - Wet n Wild
ColourPop Super Shock shadows are a different league from every other affordable eyeshadow I've tried. The formula is mousse-like, you apply it with your finger, and the color intensity is absolutely insane. I have about 15 individual shades and ever...

Blush
Milani's baked blushes are one of those products that beauty insiders know about but don't share enough. The baked formula gives the most luminous, glowing finish that sits on the skin like real color rather than powder sitting on top. The shade "Lum...
Baked Blush - Milani Cosmetics
Lippie
I discovered KIKO Milano completely by accident and now it's one of my most-recommended brands to literally everyone. The Unlimited Double Touch lasts up to 16 hours with a no-transfer base color and a glossy finish in a two-step application. I wore ...
Unlimited Double Touch - KIKO
For a $3 lipstick, the Wet n Wild MegaLast performs like it costs ten times more. The color range is massive, the matte formula is comfortable (not drying), and the staying power is genuinely impressive. I wore the shade "Stoplight Red" to a full day...

The color payoff from this full coverage KIKO lipstick is great — you get exactly what you see on the bullet. It paints over lips beautifully with a satin finish that makes lips look gently glossy and a little fuller, lasting for hours without touch-...
Smart Fusion Lipstick - KIKO
You've probably heard of these popular KIKO glosses, and for good reason — they shine beautifully, don't stick, and have luxurious packaging. You can't go wrong with any shade. I wear mine over a nude liner and it gives the most gorgeous plump, glass...

Eyebrows
Benefit Cosmetics is loved for their long-lasting formulas and beginner-friendly retractable brow designs. The Gimme Brow gel is my lazy-girl brow essential. Just a few swipes and my brows look full, defined, and groomed without any pencil work. The ...

Eyeliner
As a liquid liner connoisseur, this is the blackest and juiciest one I've ever tried — the tip is ultra thin and perfect for crafting sharp, precise winged liner. I've paid $35 for eyeliners that didn't perform as well as this $7 NYX liner. The ink i...
Epic Ink Waterproof Liquid Liner - EYELINER - NYX Cosmetics
Bronzer
The Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer is the most beautiful bronzer I've ever used at any price point. The coconut-infused formula blends so seamlessly and the color is a warm, sun-kissed bronze that never looks orange or muddy. It also smells like t...
