Promising review: "I’m on Accutane for severe acne and currently going through the stage where my skin is super broken out. This foundation is life-changing! It looks like my skin is completely clear and flawless. I highly recommend this foundation to anyone suffering with acne — it does not irritate or dry my skin out. This is my go-to foundation for now on!" —Alexandria P.
Price: $39 (available in 50 shades)
1513 reviews don't lie! Now, if only we can also get this one up to 50 shades, that'd be great!
Promising review: "This foundation is beautiful. It feels lightweight, covers everything, and makes everything look smooth and airbrushed. It even wears off so nicely throughout the day. It is by far the best foundation I have come up with. Hope it doesn't get discontinued." —Jennifer M.
Price: $39 (available in 24 shades)
It also doesn't have any artificial fragrances!
Promising review: "This has just replaced my holy grail Philosophy Purity that I've sworn by for over seven years! It gets EVERYTHING off (even waterproof stuff without going in with other removers first) without irritating or drying in any way, but it also doesn't leave the skin feeling greasy after. Can't say enough about how much I love this cleanser!" —Laina
Price: $25 (also available in a travel size)

Promising review: "My ride-or-die mascara! It volumizes and curls my lashes, and still makes them look fuller. I can’t say enough positive things about it. I’ve tried dozens of other mascaras and none even come close. Anytime I get a mini one I pass it on to a friend — they’re always addicted at first swipe!" — StaceyRia31
Price: $23 (available in original and Sugar Rush versions)

Promising review: "I highly recommend this eyebrow gel! I have been looking for a good gel to use, but most of them made my eyebrows look WAY too dark! This gel looks so natural and is very easy to apply! My eyebrows have never looked better." —KathrynP40
Price: $18 (available in three shades)
You can apply up to four times a day if you'd like! Just smile and brush it onto your teeth, and then wait 30 seconds before closing your mouth. Then give the gel 15 minutes to fully penetrate before you start eating and drinking.
Promising review: "Well, I'm in shock. These types of pens never work well for me. I always end up junking them, but this one for real works. I'm so pumped! It's fantastic. If you're a skeptic of these types of pens, try this one. It's been two days of using this twice a day and it has made my teeth a couple shades whiter, and I'm a coffee and Coke Zero lover. This stuff has really done a great job so far. Can't wait to see more results!" —alwayslatekate
Price: $22

Promising review: "These paint pots are HIGHLY pigmented. I don't even need to do a full press with my finger and the pigment is so bold and creamy. These pots may be tiny but a little goes a long way with them. Just be sure to always keep your pots closed and tightened when not in use to avoid them drying out." —C. B.
Price: $22 (available in eight shades)
Promising review: "Love this moisturizer. It has such an intense, hydrating boost and goes on super lightweight. Love that you don't feel heavy or like your skin has a thick layer on. It just melts into your skin and makes it feel super nourished and hydrated." —A, Laugh
Price: $39
Promising review: "Hands down the best blush you can buy! It's so soft and gives you the perfect amount of color to your cheeks. Not much fallout, but tons of pigment! 10 out of 10 recommend everyone have at least one of these shades in their collection. Plus, they give you so much product in the pan that it'll last a very long time!" —Paige S.
Price: $29 (available in 13 shades)
Promising review: "This is my absolute favorite dry shampoo — it refreshes my hair and keeps it from looking oily in between washes. It also smells great in comparison to some other dry shampoos I've tried in the past. My hair doesn't feel weighed down either, which is a plus!" —Mona P.
Price: $19

But as with any matte lipstick formula, if your lips are particularly dry, try applying a lip balm first!
Promising review: "This stuff is awesome!!! It will last for hours without smudging or wiping off, only needing a small touch up after you eat a big meal. The colors are vibrant and don't fade super quickly but wipe off easily at the end of the day with a simple makeup wipe." —Giulana B.
Price: $15 (originally $20; available in 13 shades)

Promising review: "THIS EYE CREAM IS AMAZING! I’ve been using it for over a year and it has changed the skin around my eyes. My extremely dark circles have lightened and small crows feet seem erased. I recommend this product to everyone I know!" —Courtney A.
Price: $38
Promising review (for the Pro Remix Palette): "I generally have to be very careful with what I use for skincare *and* makeup. I came across Tarte ages ago and finally took the plunge and purchased a palette for myself. I haven't been this happy since my kiddos were born! The colors are absolutely gorgeous. The pigment is fantastic. And it lasts ALL DAY! It's nice knowing that I can finally wear makeup while I am working. I am a professional chef, and I'm in the heat a lot. Many of the past brands I have used just don't stand up to what I go through on a daily basis. Plus the three kiddos under 10 when I get home. ;) The colors are also useful for the office as well; you can make them as bold as you want. I love the range! One of the best purchases I have ever made for myself." —Nikkie
Price: $49 each (available in Pro and Pro Remix versions)

Promising review: "I’ve tried a lot of vegan deodorants and this is by far the best and my favorite. It’s a bit pricier than ones I’ve bought before but it’s worth it for the fact that this actually prevents odor. I apply in the a.m. and p.m. and I’m good all day and night. Ones I’ve used previously didn’t even last a few hours before there was stink, lol. Nice scent, and I like the twist-up design. Will definitely purchase again." —Bethany M.

Promising review: "Amazing! I think it's great that for the price you get two different eyeliners: one for when you wanna go a little fancy with a wing, and one for when you want something a little more subtle and just wanna darken up the lash line with the other side. Overall great, and the liquid side is SUPER pigmented. :)" —Paulette F.
Price: $24 each (available in original/black and Remix colored editions in bronze and white gold)

Promising review: "This has been the best decision I have ever made for my skincare routine. I have very dry skin that always feels incredibly tight after I wash my face. I have been using this for about two months now and this oil has transformed my skin in ways that I never knew it would! Doesn’t clog my pores or make my makeup look weird. I use it morning and night on my face and anywhere that needs a little bit of extra moisture. I have family members with oily skin who love this as well! 10/10 recommend to everyone." —Fallon T.
