Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette, $62

This trio of powders should be in your purse at all times. They contain photoluminescent technology that basically acts as an Instagram filter, but IRL. Though the phrase "lit-from-within-glow" has been overused, we have to say, it certainly applies here. Sweep the silky powders all over your face or use them as a highlighter to brighten up dull skin -- "Dim Light," a peachy beige shade, can even double as a blush on fairer skin. Bonus: One of the shades, "Iridescent Light," is exclusive to the palette.

Got pesky dark circles? Discoloration? Blemishes? No matter what your gripe, this color-correcting quad made our best makeup palette roundup due to its ability to conceal any and all imperfections in your complexion.

As for those dark under eye circles, this makeup palette's got you covered (pun intended) for those too. Simply apply the yellow shade beneath your eyes to cancel out those dark purple circles, and you'll look like you had a week's worth of sleep in a night. And speaking of sleep, you'll snooze better at night knowing you only dropped $4 for your flawless complexion.
