1. Wet 'n' Wild Photo Focus Foundation boasts over 4,000 5-star reviews, which says a lot about a foundation that costs less than $5. The matte coverage and light-diffusing feature ensures a flawless complexion that can't be beat.

2. Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 Max Night Moisturizer goes deep underneath the skin's surface with its powerful complex of retinol, niacinamide, and peptides to hydrate skin while also tackling wrinkles, fine lines, dark spots, and texture issues.

3. Love Beauty and Planet Murumuru Butter and Rose Shampoo features nourishing murumuru butter as its star ingredient, which helps keep color-treated hair from fading, but is actually great for all hair types.

4. Pixi by Petra Glow Tonic is a cult-favorite beauty product that has bewitched everyone from Kim Kardashian to Jourdan Dunn, due to its powerhouse combo of ingredients. Glycolic acid helps exfoliate and renew skin texture while aloe vera, ginseng, and other botanicals keeps skin hydrated and protected from damaging free radicals.

Promising review: "This stuff is the BEST! It really, truly makes a noticeable difference in how my skin looks. If I put my SPF moisturizer on by itself, my skin is hydrated. If I use Glow Tonic on it beforehand, my skin has a BEAUTIFUL pearly/glowy/radiant/healthy quality to it all day, until the very end of the day. It's like magic. I initially purchased the small bottle, finished it, then tried the Ordinary's 7% glycolic acid toner out of curiosity. (It is also a lot cheaper.) But no. It was nothing like this stuff. This solution feels great on the skin, dries down fast, wears just fine under makeup, and looks gorgeous. It is a little expensive, but worth it—especially if you go without makeup frequently like I do. I think I will buy this forever!" —TexasLady
Price: $15+ (available in two sizes)
5. e.l.f. 16HR Camo Concealer was already a fan-favorite thanks to it being an impressive and affordable dupe to Tarte's Shape Tape, but it garnered a whole new audience after TikTok users got a hold of it. If you haven't tried this concealer yet, it's time to add it to your cart.

Promising review: This is a total dupe for the Tarte Shape Tape! I use this concealer almost every day and I could not be happier. If you have drier under-eyes I would recommend prepping the area beforehand with an eye cream because it can be a little drying. It stays put all day and has great coverage." — Jillian
Price: $6 (available in 23 shades)
6. Maybelline Eye Lash Sensational Mascara won the hearts of almost 3,000 5-star reviewers with its ability to give lashes incredible length and fullness with only a couple of swipes. No need to pile on the mascara with this one.

Promising review: "This is hands down my favorite mascara! I’m not the type to keep using the same products (because I love trying new things), but I have been using this one for YEARS! The shape of the brush is the best and really helps lift my lashes! Honestly probably just as good as the more expensive brands or maybe even better. It also doesn’t flake after wearing it all day. HIGHLY recommend." —Angelica
Price: $7.49 (available in six shades)
7. Honest Beauty Everything Matte Primer has over 7,000 5-star reviews praising the primer for minimizing pores, fighting oil, and creating a smooth canvas for makeup — all without silicone contained in primer formulas of the past.

Promising review: "I have dry, acne-prone skin and these work great for me. I use the rosewater one and it smells so amazing! I don't wear too much makeup but it worked great for removing non-waterproof mascara and brow powder. Usually products like these dry out my skin and I have to apply moisturizer afterwards but I didn't have to for these." —ctalycia
Price: $4.99 (available in six formulas)
12. NYX Professional Makeup Matte Liquid Eyeliner Black earned its spot as the holy grail product for liquid eyeliner aficionados because it is heavily pigmented, has a smooth application, and lasts long, making the perfect tool for an impeccable cat-eye.
Promising review: "A pal referred me to this eyeliner and it is amazing. Long-lasting and doesn't smudge, holds well. Be sure you allow it to dry completely, otherwise it will leave a line in the crease of your eye. I used to use a pricey liner and this is half the cost and works better than my high-end liner." —Dina

Highly recommend!" —bar1292
Price: $8.49 (available in three options)

Promising review: "This has become my favorite setting spray. It does not smell too strong and is not sticky. The formula lasts for a long time. It also dries quickly and the mist is very fine. I have used more expensive brands from big companies and still prefer Milani." —Tampa31mom

Promising review: "I absolutely love this foundation and have tried many higher end ones. I decided that I wanted more bang for my buck and hated spending $40+ on foundation that was subpar. After reading many reviews I decided to give this a try and wasn’t disappointed! This is my go-to foundation now. It has amazing (buildable) coverage, a nice natural finish and lasts all day. It feels amazing on the skin and I have combo-dry skin. The color range is also pretty impressive and the match was perfect for me! With a nice setting powder, this looks flawless. No one would know it’s drugstore." —happilydee
Price: $11.99 (available in 30 shades)
18. Rimmel Stay Glossy Lip Gloss gives lips a beautiful shine without feeling sticky — a must for lip gloss fans. It also comes in 11 shades so you can wear a new color every day! Variety is the spice of life (and lipstick), after all.

19. Revlon Oil Absorbing Volcanic Roller picks up excess oil better than pricey oil-blotting facial sheets from Tatcha or Shiseido because it uses volcanic stone instead of paper. It's not only less wasteful, but also comes in the form of a much cooler tool that you can take with you anywhere.

Price: $4.89
21. Maybelline Facestudio Master Chrome Metallic Highlighter will make you feel like you have the Midas touch thanks to its highly pigmented, golden glow. The shade Molten Gold, in particular, makes a worthy substitute for Charlotte Tilbury's now discontinued Bar of Gold Highlighter.

22. L'Oreal Paris Rouge Signature Lip Stain proves that you really don't have to spend a lot of money to get a luxury-looking lip. It's richly pigmented and lasts all day, but still feels lightweight. If you're looking for a holy grail lipstick, this might be it.

Price: $8.99 (available in nine shades)
23. Almay Lip Vibes Lipstick might not withstand mask-wearing (though, to be far, not many lipsticks do!), but it still looks gorgeous, feels comfortable, and goes on smooth. Plus, that packaging would brighten up anyone's makeup collection.

Promising review: "For an inexpensive lipstick it's great! Smooth and stays on well. I used to spend a fortune on the most expensive brands of lipsticks and found they had too much fragrance which bothered me. I stumbled upon Almay Butter Kiss lipsticks a few years ago, but find them hard to locate. Since I had good luck with the brand I thought I would try this in the 'Skip the Gym' tone which is light and subtle and exactly what I was looking for in a shade. For $6.99 you can't go wrong." —lipstick fan
Price: $5.99 (available in 11 shades)

Promising review: "This is a go-to drugstore bronzer for me and I’ve been a working makeup artist for MAC for five and a half years. It goes on smoothly and smells amazing. The color range is awesome too. 10/10." —Michellemarie
Price: $12.49 (available in six shades)
25. Olay Regenerist Detoxifying Pore Scrub Cleanser exfoliates to improve texture and appearance. Pores be damned!

26. Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch Original Acne Patches are an easy and effective product for pimples as you just stick that sucker on and forget about it while it does its thing. Plus, it's discreet and will help prevent the urge to pick (which can cause scarring!).

27. Weleda Skin Food Original Ultra-Rich Cream is the ultimate skin savior no matter what the season. There’s a reason why this multi-purpose moisturizer gets such good reviews and is loved by everyone from Priyanka Chopra to your favorite beauty vlogger. It has botanical extracts made from organic chamomile, calendula, and wild pansy plus nourishing sunflower and sweet almond oils to help hydrate the driest skin.

Promising review: "This cream is so thick and moisturizing. I put it on at night because it’s a little too thick for me for the daytime. It does a great job moisturizing and it may feel like it’s going to leave your skin greasy, give it time to work in and by morning you’ll skin will feel great. There’s a reason so many people are obsessed with this cream!" —Bethany12
Price: $18.99
28. Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Intensely Smooth Leave-In Conditioning Cream destroys frizz even in high humidity — we're talking 97 percent, thanks to the presence of nourishing argan oil. No wonder it has over 900 5-star reviews!

Promising review: "My hair is extremely frizzy all the time. I have been trying several hair oils to try and combat the frizz. I found that using this leave-in conditioner after showering and before using my hair drying has significantly improved my hair stying game and reduced frizz." —MJ
Price: $3.59
29. Revlon Salon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer cuts down on styling time by simply being a genius two-in-one product.

30. Urban Skin Rx Even Tone Cleansing Bar goes above and beyond the typical cleanser. It's a 3-in-1 product that also acts as an exfoliator and a brightener, and contains key ingredients azelaic acid, kojic acid, and licorice root. Fans of the product also say that it helps with acne while preventing scarring.

Promising review: "I’ve been using the product for a week. I have discoloration and dark patches left from chemical peels and adult acne. I have gotten my acne under control but the discoloration and dull spots are still a problem. Nine out of 10 cleansers will cause me to develop cystic acne from day one. First and foremost this cleanser did not cause a breakout and my skin even looks clearer. The dull patches and discoloration are getting lighter. I use this with the Urban Rx Complexion Protection moisturizer and it’s very lightweight and leaves my skin matte with no oiliness. Give it a try." —Tasha
Price: $14.99
31. Garnier SKINACTIVE Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-1 Makeup Remover and Cleanser is an award-winning product for a reason — it gets all your makeup off when you're too lazy to wash it! (Though, you should probably double-cleanse.) It's the perfect alternative to the OG micellar water, Bioderma Sensibio H2O, and is about half the price. Can't go wrong with that.
