Best Foundation
Neutrogena Healthy Skin Enhancer: Though technically not a foundation, it does offer some coverage. This foundation is extremely light weight, natural looking, and easy to blend—I often just blend this with my hands (clean hands of course). It’s a great everyday item, especially if you’re in a hurry.
Covergirl Natureluxe Silk Foundation: While not as light as Neutrogena’s Healthy Skin Enhancer, it is far from feeling heavy on the skin. It blends smoothly and offers quite a bit of coverage—more than the Skin Enhancer does. The packaging is also quite sleek and easily portable.
Best Eyeliner
Physician’s Formula Gel Cream Liner: This is one of my favorite gel liners, even when compared to many high end brands. It is especially great if you’re looking for color—I adore the purple gel liner and I used to wear it all the time. The liner is definitely waterproof—I’ve worn it to the beach and even to the pool on occasion. Though not completely smudge proof, it really lasts throughout the day.
Physician’s Formula Eyeliner: It is a great pencil liner for lining your waterline. The eyeliner is smooth, pigmented, and rich. The brightly colored liners are a little disappointing, but their range of neutral colors including more uncommon colors like champagne and taupe is definitely a plus. The black liner is the best by far.
Maybelline Gel Liner: While I haven’t had the opportunity to try this myself yet, I plan on picking this up as soon as possible. A friend of mine swears by this and I’ve seen the proof of its lasting power myself. This liner lives up to its packaging claim and literally lasts 24 hours. Though probably not a good idea, it stays put even if you sleep with it on.
Best Lipstick
Revlon’s Lipsticks: Revlon has a couple of different lines of lipsticks. I have tried several of them and I have never been disappointed. They are long lasting, pigmented, and Revlon offers a multitude of beautiful shades. Unlike a lot of drugstore lipsticks, these are not drying and definitely not chalky.
Revlon’s Lip Butters: If you’re not a fan of lipsticks, you might want to check out Revlon’s lip butters. They are a more moisturizing, less color intense alternative. They are unquestionably worth the couple dollars they cost. My favorite part is their delicious names. From Pink Truffle to Peach Parfait, their names are a huge draw and are positively appetizing.
