The Rankings
Fenty Beauty By Rihanna Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation
BEST FOR: Getting photo ready
LOVED FOR: Finding your perfect match with over 40 tones to choose from, all with a soft matte finish
Buxom Full-On Plumping Lip Polish
BEST FOR: Giving your pout a plump sans needles
LOVED FOR: Matte lips might have been cool for awhile, but a high gloss finish is making a comeback.
Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara
LOVED FOR: An hour-glass shape separates and curls lashes to look thicker and longer the more coats you apply.
USERS SAID: "There aren't many mascaras that have people constantly ask me if I am wearing fake lashes and when replying I'm not asking what mascara I use...this is one of them! This gives me sooo much length and crazy volume like barely any other mascara. The only negative thing I can state is that on hot days it does smudge a bit under my eyes...so I wish it would come as a waterproof version, then it would hands down be the best mascara!"
Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz
BEST FOR: Turning over plucked brows into Brooke Shield bold
LOVED FOR: A fine point allows for tiny hair-like strokes that create a natural filled in look.
Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick
BEST FOR: Finishing a fresh face with a bold lip
LOVED FOR: Finally a matte finish that's hydrating and long-lasting!
Kat Von D Tattoo Liner
BEST FOR: Perfecting your wing
LOVED FOR: There's nothing more annoying than an eyeliner brush that frays, which is why users are dubbing this liner holy grail status.
Benefit Cosmetics They're Real! Lengthening and Volumizing Mascara
BEST FOR: Giving your lashes a natural color without looking washed out.
FUN FACT: 94% of survey users saw a dramatic increase in length, volume and visible lift, and 100% saw long-wearing results
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil
USERS SAID: "I absolutely love love love these eyeliners. I have about 5. They are creamy, soft, pigmented and waterproof. These babies last All day and will not budge. I love they have a wide variety of colors. One for every eye look. They can also work as a nice base but you have to blend quick before it dries."
LOVED FOR: This pencil is easily smudged when applied but then sets and stays put for a smoky eye that lasts all night.

LOVED FOR: Giving you the right amount of healthy-looking color to your cheeks
WHY YOU NEED IT: Over the years, this Nars blush in Orgasm has reached icon status and for good reason—it works for literally any skin tone.
