Promising review: "I was skeptical about buying an overhyped product, but this one is definitely worth it! Even though I thought it might be too light for me, it worked well under the makeup and somehow adapted to my skin tone. The coverage is buildable, so if you have some scars or acne marks it will vanish them off as it dries on the spots." —Catalin B.

Price: $15+ (available in two sizes and 48 shades)

Promising review: "I love the maracuja tinted moisturizer. The coverage it provides is amazing and it leaves my skin looking so hydrated. I typically use this alone with no other products and it stays on all day. This is my third time purchasing this product and will continue to use it." —Valerie R.

Price: $18+ (available in two sizes and 20 shades)

Promising review: "My favorite mascara. I have tried so many brands and this one is the best. Doesn’t clump and I love how easily it comes off. It doesn’t smear when removing or throughout the wear. I have oily skin and it doesn’t smudge over my top lid like other mascaras. Makes my lashes look long and voluminous." —Melody M.

Price: $15+ (available in two sizes and six colors)

Promising review: "I love the color of this. Sometimes I use it as a liner and sometimes an eye shadow. It’s great and I love the sponge on the other end, it’s great for smudging and blending." —Aubrey J.

Promising review: "Love this item! I never really paid attention to my brows, and didn't shape them. I bought this more as a curiosity, and loved it! light weight, goes on easy, and makes it easy to shape my brows as someone who is a novice to make up." —Jazmine

Promising review: "I’ve tried every eyebrow pencil on the market and this is the best one... I buy five at a time. The color is perfect. It blends perfectly. 10 out of 10." —Eliza

Promising review: "This powder is so smooth and lightweight! It sets my makeup beautifully, helps brighten without looking heavy, and gives a soft, natural finish. It keeps everything looking fresh without feeling dry or cakey." —Jill L.

Price: $19+ (available in two sizes and 10 shades)

Promising review: "A makeup artist recommended this palette to me years ago and I have used it everyday since. It is a must in my makeup routine." —Alexa P.

Promising review: "Absolutely love this blush duo! The cream blush blends beautifully into the skin and gives such a fresh, dewy flush, while the powder adds the prettiest glow without looking too glittery. The pigmentation is amazing, but it’s still easy to build up and keep the look natural. Definitely a new favorite in my makeup collection and totally worth trying. 💕✨" —Giannoula

Promising review: "I typically do not use cream contour and decided to try this one. I am so glad I did! It's light and airy while giving me a nice contoured look. Definitely buying it again." —Lamees

Price: $18+ (available in two sizes and 13 shades)

Promising review: "This is the best lip balm I have ever used. It keeps my lips soft all day. The color isn't too much, but is buildable. It's not too sticky and makes me feel put together. The application is silky. Shipping was fast. The texture of this balm is amazing." —Taylor F.

BuzzFeed Shopping is service journalism first: our writers and editors spend all day shopping so you don’t have to, vetting products, fact-checking brand claims, and surfacing what actually helps in real life. We center readers over revenue, recommend products with authenticity (using real experiences, not ad-speak), and reflect our diverse audience, inclusive of a variety of price points, people, and needs. We cut through fake deals, favor useful info over glossy fluff, and recommend both budget and splurge options with context so you can decide what’s right for you — and still have a little fun along the way.
