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 Natasha Denona sunset eyeshadow palette to start off, because you deserve a palette with a various range of shadows that you'll actually use! Opt for a rusty, sunset smokey eye for a night out, or create a simple haze of taupe shimmer on the lid for a subdued Zoom look.
2. A large-sized bottle of Shiseido sunscreen, because even though the fall is here, that doesn't mean the sun stops emitting UV rays. Choose this formula that feels like a lotion, leaves no white cast behind, and doesn't pill under makeup.
3. An Armani satin lipstick set for the person on your holiday gift list who you really want to impress. Although these lipsticks are long-lasting, they still keep the lips looking moisturized and plump.
4. A Fenty Beauty shimmering highlighter so that you can shine bright like a diamond this upcoming holiday season. (And yes — by "holiday" I mean Halloween, obviously.)
5. An Urban Decay correcting concealer that will help you even out any discoloration under your eyes or on your skin while feeling as light as a feather. 🪶
6. An Alpha-H exfoliating treatment with glycolic acid that will rid the complexion of dead skin cells to help show off the smooth, texture-free glow that's hiding underneath. This formula also contains silk proteins to help retain moisture in the skin, keeping it plump and dewy all day long.
7. A fun nail polish by Deborah Lippmann so that you can wear your favorite colors on your digits without having to worry about chipping immediately after application. I love these nail polishes because not only do they pay off color-wise, but they also last me through chores like washing the dishes and scrubbing the bathroom!
8. A cult-favorite Chubby Stick moisturizing lip balm by Clinique that broke the internet in the past few years for adding a barely there touch of color to the lips while hydrating them simultaneously. You don't *have* to, but I highly suggest you grab, like, five of these while the price is low.
9. A Ciaté London shimmery eyeshadow palette if your beauty routine is never complete without a bit of sparkle. Although these are eyeshadows, you can totally use some of the shades as a highlighter, too! How's that for 2-in-1?!
10. An OleHenriksen self-tanning primer that I love to use when I need to liven up my pale complexion. This makes makeup glide onto the skin like butter, and gradually tans the skin without ever looking orange.
11. And a hydrating lip oil also by Ciaté London that is great if you are always after glossy lips, but don't like the sticky feeling that comes with some glosses. Lip oils offer a high shine while sinking into the skin to moisturize and add plump to your pout.
12. A Pat McGrath Labs lipstick that I cannot believe is on sale! Dame Pat McGrath has made some fabulous makeup formulas, and this one truly fits the bill as an example of her expertise. This formula has a matte finish without making the lips look dry and cracked hours after application.
13. A Glamglow dual-exfoliation treatment mask that contains AHAs to slough off dead skin cells, while BHAs get down into the pores to clear out dirt and debris. The result is a dewy complexion, reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, *and* minimized pores — does it get better than that?
14. A Too Faced highlighter that adds a holographic sheen to your out-of-this-world makeup looks. I am all for using one product for different functions, and I think this would look amazing as a graphic liner along the upper lid, as well!
15. And a Pacific lime perfume by Atelier Cologne, because scent memory is real and if you're of the population that wishes summer held on for juuust a bit longer, use this perfume to transport you to a citrusy grove right off the Pacific Coast.
