We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A Maybelline brow pencil with two tips: one to fill in and shape the hairs, and the other to brush and blend for a ~natural~ finish. Tl;dr: your brows will finally look related (dare I say sisters?!), but this little tool will do all of the work. You just raise your wrist.
2. A Physicians Formula illuminating primer so you can do something you'd never dream of: multitask. Don't worry, it won't take long — this'll act as a concealer to reduce redness and blur pores, while also giving you a subtle *glow* (that works great under foundation!).
3. An L.A. Colors high shine lipgloss, because the level of gloss you'll achieve from this is UNREAL — and all it took was a mere swipe. Can you do this without bothering to look in a mirror? Absofruitley.
4. A double-sided Revlon liquid eyeshadow that'll wave its wands and deliver whichever style you're in the mood for: a swipe of fun sparkle or a pigmented cream shadow. Either way, they're applied onto your lids before you have time to get tired. So about .05 seconds.
5. A set of double-tipped pointed cotton swaps for quickly fixing smudged eyeliner or really any mistakes, instead of singing "hello darkness, my old friend" and leaving the messy wings. YOU CAN DO — oh look, you're already done it.
6. A Vivienne Sabó volumizing mascara so the need for lash primer beforehand is zilch. Why? This'll be a one-stop journey to thick, fanned lashes in just a bat of your eye, thanks to its clump-free, drama-loving formula.
7. A NYX liquid illuminator, because this'll leave you ✨glowing✨ after a few quick swipes with your fingers — even without foundation. Translation: you can use this alone for a dewy effect.
8. A Palladio lip and cheek tint to swipe on some rosy goodness in under a minute. Basically, this'll be the tool you can always have ~on hand~ for touch-ups that require about zero effort.
9. A Stila corrective primer for addressing all your concerns with one easy-to-use product. This bb will neutralize redness, conceal blemishes, energize skin tones, and brighten complexions — all before you have time to give up. What do we want? RESULTS. How do we want it? In the simplest way possible, please.
10. A NYX lipgloss that comes in a whopping 26 shades so you can cheaply stock up on a slew of fun lip shades. It delivers sheer to medium coverage, never feels sticky, and essentially ~melts~ onto your pucker. Tl;dr: all it takes is a swipe for maximum gloss.
11. A Maybelline under-eye concealer, because this'll make treating dark circles so simple it won't even feel like an extra step. Dare I say it'll even *puff* up confidence in your makeup skills?
12. A Rimmel shadow stick with soft, blendable tips that'll glide onto your lids like a dream and throw worries of precision out the window. Reviewers say it's easy to use, yet lasts all day!
13. A silicone makeup sponge for a tool that'll not only blend your foundation seamlessly (and faster/better than your fingers), but it'll also demand less washing than your original sponge. That's what I call ~well-rounded~.
14. A 50-pack of false eyelashes so you can just keep replacing your lashes instead of caring for them. Ok, we weren't doing that anyway. But now we can get away with it.
15. A Fenty matte makeup stick, because it turns out all contouring really requires these days is for you to point this at your face. You can even use it as an easy concealer or to correct any mistakes (i.e. smudged liner)!
16. A Vogue Effects eyeliner stamp that'll tackle the annoying task of drawing the perfect cat-eye by simply stamping on pro-level wings. Will you get all the credit? Obviously.
17. A Revlon cream eyeshadow to deliver a bold, pigmented shade to your lids with a secret weapon: a cream formula that's so darn rich it'll only take a dab of your finger.
18. A Tarte hydrating lipstick with a creamy matte finish for moisturizing your pucker without the need for a scrub, and leaving the days of reapplying well behind you. This lasts ~12 hours~ ("WHAT" you exclaim) and pampers your pout with antioxidant-rich marine plant extracts for a smooth, full effect.
19. A CoverGirl matte concealer so covering a pimple is done faster than you walk away. Its stick design is easy to use and blend, plus reviewers say it takes *very* little to achieve full coverage without additional foundation. No fuss. As if.
20. A pack of shadow shields, because these'll solve two problems in one. They'll catch eyeshadow fallout so you don't have to fix your foundation (assuming you'd bother) *and* will act as a stencil so it takes a heck of lot less effort to create sharp wings.
21. A Wet n' Wild cushion foundation that'll provide full coverage on-the-go, aka every morning when you "accidentally" snooze until it's time to LEAVE. Plus, you can flip it over for even *more* product, because when are we dragging our butts to the store to get more? Probably not for a very long time.
22. A Milani liquid eyeliner with an ergonomic curved handle to discover how easy it can be to make bold wings when the tool is already pointed in the right direction. What else would we do, bend our wrist?! Please.
23. An organic green tea setting spray so dewy skin is yours in just a ~spritz~. Makeup tutorials? No, thank you. This fine mist will energize and hydrate your complexion (even with foundation on) so you're glowing a lot faster than any vlogger can teach you.
24. An Undone Beauty lip and cheek cream, because it will never get easier than literally dabbing some color wherever you'd like with nothing more than your fingers. But you can take full credit for your newfound rosy cheeks.
25. A Milani baked bronzer that'll provide an instant glow to your cheeks — and by instant I mean it, because it's so darn pigmented all it'll take is a swipe. BAM, sun-kissed. You can even do it on the train when you inevitably sleep in.
26. A Coty translucent powder for streamlining baking down to a one-minute process. Acne, fine lines, and shine will totally be a thing of the past — without a complicated routine at all. It's basically the easiest way to claim #nofilter IRL.
27. A Shany neutral eyeshadow palette so on days you'd like to creative (aka once a month), you won't get overwhelmed by these v approachable, neutral shades. They're easy to combine and look just as great when used alone, meaning you can stop at any point (even if that's right away).
28. A Glossier gel-cream blush for applying some color to your cheeks with only one requirement: use with finger. I would cheer you on, but you'll be done before I even start.
