LIP BALM & TREATMENT
CLINIQUE
Almost Lipstick
"If you're uneasy about dark lipstick, this classic is a perfect baby step: It's not too deep or dramatic, it works on nearly everybody, and the results are shiny and gorgeous."
Gabi Thorne
Editorial Assistant at Allure
"During the day, I apply lip balm, then layer Black Honey immediately on top, creating a natural and glossy finish — for a my-lips-but-better look. For the perfect night-out lip, I apply it on dry lips for a bolder color payoff and a satiny finish."
Shannon Stubbs
Beauty Writer at Byrdie
"There’s a reason this lipstick is a beauty hall of famer: It imbues your lips with a natural, glossy red tint that makes you look like you were feasting on a handful of cherries and the juice just so happened to dye your lips red."
Venus Wong
Senior Beauty Writer for Refinery29

SETTING SPRAY & POWDER

Lexi Herrick
Senior Director of Audience at Allure

COLOUR CORRECTOR
SMASHBOX
Becca Under Eye Brightening Corrector
"I've got brown hyperpigmentation all around my eyelid and under-eye, I know a lot of other girls with the same problem. It was such a pain to cover up until I found this. Even on days when I'm not using makeup, I just put this on and it looks so natural."
Hala

"Like a filter for your dark circles, this magic eraser naturally colour corrects and offsets the darkness, and brightens the whole area by using reflective pigments that cleverly bounce the light out. It looks light and natural, unlike heavier cover-ups."

Leilani Green

FACE PRIMER

Arshia Moorjani
Beauty Content Creator

EYE PALETTE
HUDA BEAUTY
Nude Obsessions Eyeshadow Palette
"My nude is not the same as your nude and I'm aware of that and sensitive to it. So we approached eye shadow with this in mind, to prove we understand it and we’re doing something about it beyond complexion."
Huda Kattan
Founder of Huda Beauty

EYE PALETTE
TOO FACED
Born This Way Natural Nudes Mini Eye Shadow Palette
"Warm bronze eyes are literally always in, and give us that on-vacation glow. This has six of the yummiest matte, metallic, and shimmer shades in the cutest little on-the-go palette. The powder-creamy textures are insane."
Daniel Chinchilla
Global Makeup Artist, Too Faced

EYESHADOW
BOBBI BROWN
Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick

Brooke Knappenberger
Associate Commerce Editor at Marie Claire

LIP LINER
HUDA BEAUTY
Lip Contour 2.0 Automatic Matte Lip Pencil
"If you've been using lip liners that skip, feather, or fade quickly, do yourself a favor and upgrade to this. Once I glide the buttery pencil across my lips, I know the color will remain for the full day and keep my lips very defined and comfortable."
Mary Honkus
Beauty Writer

LIPSTICK
SUNNIES FACE
Fluffmatte

Kathleen Hou

MASCARA
M.A.C
Macstack Mascara
"This mascara really is a beauty product I am proud to stand behind. It's such a good mascara, providing both length and volume, with a glossy and dramatic finish."
Rebecca Fearn
Beauty Journalist
"This is seriously stackable. I applied three coats and it gave me a false-lash effect that I can usually only dream of. Beyond the frankly jaw-dropping, lengthening and volumising results, what I really love about this mascara is how long-lasting it is."
Grace Lindsay
Junior Beauty Editor, Who What Wear

CONCEALER
ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS
Magic Touch Concealer
"A quick blend with a brush and voila! Tired eyes vanish, spots and pores fade into nothing and my complexion as a whole brightens. Teamed with a tinted moisturiser or BB cream is enough to face the world (or the office, at least). A keeper."
Abha Shah
Deputy Shopping Editor at Evening Standard
"The coverage, the consistency, the finish, the way it just looks after it's all set - everyone I've put onto this concealer has loved it. Hands down one of the best concealers I've ever come across, it's the one I always reach for."
Rohiimaaa
Makeup Content Creator

BLUSH
TOO FACED

Alyssa Lorraine

"The name describes it perfectly: the bubblegum-pink powder smells like candy and its buttery formula creates a dreamy finish that looks soft and fresh the entire day. [shade: Candy Clouds]"
Talia Gutierrez

EYE PALETTE
ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS
Mini Eyeshadow Palette
"If you’re already a fan of Modern Renaissance, you’re going to love this — a great way to bring back that nostalgia in a little mini palette. It's just so good. "
Allie Glines
MUA & Creator
"ABH never fails when it comes to eyeshadows."
Christie X
Beauty Content Creator

EYEBROW
ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS
Brow Definer
"The pointed slant shape makes it easier to achieve clean, individual strokes when filling in brows... it allows me to customize my look a bit more and hone in on the spots that need definition without it looking too dark and dramatic."
Jessie Quinn
Beauty Writer

LIPSTICK
JASON WU BEAUTY
Hot Fluff
"These are multipurpose - you can use them on your eyes, lips, and cheeks. The packaging is beautiful, the price is great. Each shade was very thought out, I feel like it would work for every skin tone. Honestly, I think I like every single shade."
Magdaline Janet
Beauty Content Creator

SETTING SPRAY & POWDER
KIMCHI CHIC BEAUTY
Puff Puff Pass Set & Bake Powder
"It delivers everything you'd expect and more. With the Puff Pass Set & Bake Setting Powder, my makeup stays shine-free and lasts all day. The brand claims it holds up even if you cry, and I can confirm that's true!"
Alyssa Kaplan
Beauty Editor
