These legendary makeup products really are some of the best in the game
In terms of finish, it really doesn't get much better than this popular foundation. It lives up to its name with a lovely luminous finish that makes your skin look just like, well, skin (except a little better). And though the coverage is considerable, it still has a lightweight texture that makes it comfortable to wear all day long.

This trusty liquid liner will never lead you astray. The firm, easy-to-control felt tip makes it an ideal liner pick for beginners, and the staying power (oh, the staying power!) is some of the best in the business, lasting through the worst of allergy season, the sweatiest of workouts and even the teariest viewings of "The Notebook."

Eyebrows are pretty much everything right now (to the point where technicolor brows are a thing) but even with countless excellent brow products to choose from, we often find ourselves returning to this cult favorite. After all, it handily fulfills our Goldilocks-esque brow pencil requirements: It's hard but not too hard. It's pigmented but not too pigmented. The spoolie blends, but it doesn't blend too much. Throw in a great shade range and serious staying power and you've got yourself a true Holy Grail.

Let your search for the perfect CC cream end today. This baby's got you covered and the coverage is excellent (especially considering CC creams are closer to tinted moisturizers than to full-on foundations). The natural, dewy finish is about as gorgeous as they come and we love that it's packed with anti-aging ingredients and SPF 50.

This popular powder has been around since your grandma's day — in fact, maybe she's the one who first told you how good it was. The stuff sets your complexion like nothing else, leaving you with a doll-level perfect finish. Plus, you get a ton of product for the price.
