1. A winged eyeliner stamp so you don't have to know the early morning struggle of applying and erasing your wings over and over again. Nail it every time with this double-sided stamp and touch-up tool.
2. A loose powder to set your makeup *or* use as a light foundation if you want to be low maintenance as heck. This powder comes in both translucent and tinted versions, so the world is truly your oyster.
3. A basic mascara that defines and gives volume without feeling too heavy. Build thicker lashes with multiple coats or stick to one for a simple, classic look.
4. A primer so your makeup masterpiece can be painted on a perfect palette. This primer comes in face and eye versions, and is pore minimizing and mattifying, meaning your makeup can go on smooth and stay like that all day.
5. A Bareminerals tinted moisturizer with SPF 30 that's a low-maintenance way to foray into liquid foundation. With sheer, breathable coverage and a natural finish, you'll forget you're wearing foundation at all (but still get the complexion-perfecting benefits)!
6. A brow gel for simultaneously taming and filling your precious face caterpillars. Brows can be stressful, but there's no need to fret when you have the perfect helpful product!
7. A Milk Makeup lip and cheek tint stick so you can be a real makeup multitasker. Just a *boop* on each cheek and a *boop* on the lips and you're ready to go.
8. A nude eyeshadow palette that doesn't cost an arm and a leg — this way you can experiment with and practice your different looks before investing in a super expensive version!
9. A pack of shadow shields for anyone who has't quite mastered putting on eyeshadow without a cloud of fallout dusting their under eyes. So...ummmm...me.
10. A Maybeline concealer with a rounded sponge applicator for easily covering anything you want. Under-eye circles? Little breakouts? Something else on your face that's been bothering you but probably nobody else has noticed?
11. A pigmented Clinique lip balm for adding a dose of hydration to your lips throughout the day *with* color payoff! Application is easy and the formula is forgiving — no "Am I outside the lines?" stress!
12. An Ecotools starter brush set so you're always well-quipped to tackle any beauty task. Eyeshadow, on! Blush, applied! Foundation, locked and ready!
13. A Stila glitter eyeshadow with an applicator that lets you glide product right onto your lids. Talk about simple! Swiping on a dramatic eyeshadow look like it's lipgloss is everyone's dream come true — or at least my dream come true.
14. A setting spray in a matte or dewy finish for locking in your completed look. Let the compliments roll in for a full 12 hours.
15. A Fenty Beauty lipgloss so your lips can — in the words of Rihanna herself — shine bright like a diamond. If you don't want to deal with lipstick upkeep but still want to rock a bomb lip look, this gloss is for you!
16. A CoverGirl clear mascara for conditioning your lashes and adding volume without making them feel gloopy. If taking mascara off makes you feel frustrated, opt for this stuff and fear no more!
17. A Sephora Collection jumbo eyeshadow stick that anyone can surely master in a flash. I'm honestly trash at eyeshadow, but these miracle sticks have helped me pull off dramatic smokey eye looks in no time flat.
18. A tube of Glossier's Cloud Paint to give you an effortless rosy glow. Its gel formula can be sheered out for a subtle look or built up for a more statement-making cheek.
19. A little Tarte contour and highlight palette so you can try your hand at simple powder contouring. It'll just add a few seconds to your makeup routine but will help you create some great shadow and light effects.
20. A L'Oreal Paris highlighter lotion that smooths on easily and is both moisturizing and illuminating — a double glow!
21. A Beauty Blender for bouncing your liquid foundation on with ease. No struggling to choose the right brush when you have a very helpful sponge.
22. A NYX Professional Jumbo Eye Pencil that doubles as both an eyeliner and eyeshadow. Pro tip: put the shade Milk in the inner corner of your eyes to really make them pop!
23. A Clinique pressed powder foundation for anyone who's looking for a flawless matte finish lickety-split. Perfect for light daily makeup, taming oily areas, and touch-ups on the go.
24. And a staple red lipstick — when in doubt, slap on an incredible red lip and call it a day. My one rule for life.
Congratulations! You're no longer a makeup newbie. Just remember, only use your makeup super powers for good — never evil.
