Byrdie writer Shannon Stubbs crowned this one her favorite when testing more than a dozen tubing mascaras . Just a few swipes gave her lashes considerable length, lift, and a bit of volume. The narrow nylon-bristle brush grips every lash, separating and fanning them out while coating them in a lightweight formula that never weighs them down or depletes their curl. Her final results were super-defined lashes that stayed lifted and didn’t smudge or flake. She was pleased with the level of volume she achieved, though it’s worth noting that some online reviewers say length is where this one shines, not vol

L'Oreal is another drugstore favorite with several standout brown lipstick shades, specifically for their classic Colour Riche Original Satin Lipstick. Not only am I obsessed with the luxe gold packaging (at only a $13 price point), but also the warm brown hue of the Brazil Nut shade, which is a go-to for an everyday brown

Sixties eyeliner took the drama of the '50s and amplified it. The most popular style was winged liner on the upper lid, paired with dramatic lashes. Sometimes falsies were worn, and sometimes eyeliner was used to paint spidery lashes on the bottom (Twiggy's signature look). By the '60s, multiple eyeliner shades and formulas were available, including pencil, cake, and liquid. Get Twiggy's look with Kat Von D's Ink Li

In the age of YouTube tutorials and Instagram makeup, the signature eyeliner style of our current decade has to be a graphic, precise cat eye . Liquid or gel eyeliner is usually used to execute this l

This mascara from Benefit won us over almost immediately. Multiple testers agree that it does (pretty much) everything you’d want a mascara to do: lift, separate, volumize, and add a hint of length. The curved brush makes it easy to grip each lash from the root, and the bristles are perfectly dispersed, helping fan out the lashes for an even and full-looking finish. We love that the formula is lightweight and buildable, so you can amp up the volume without depleting your curl. It's buildable, but it's not the most volumizing option, so it's not ideal for people who want a super dramatic l

But eyeliner's popularity didn't really skyrocket until the year 1922, when archeologists discovered King Tutankhamun's tomb in Egypt. This event introduced the western world to Egyptian eyeliner styles, which quickly caught on in the United Sta

A sheer wash of color is a beautiful and simple way to add depth to your makeup look without really having to do much. It's also the perfect solution for someone who doesn't have a lot of time or likes simple, more toned down eye makeup looks. Apply a cream base to the lid, and then a shimmery, silver powder shadow of your choice all the way up to the brow bone. You can smudge it out with your finger as well for a light, soft application. Finish with a soft cream blush on the cheeks and be sure to brush some pomade through your eyebr

It's packed with ingredients that benefit the skin, like niacinamide , bakuchiol , caffeine , and hyaluronic acid to brighten, smooth, depuff, and hydrate. Despite the serum-like formula, which can often contribute to an oily consistency that breaks down, this one remained intact when set in place with powder. Although it emphasized a bit of dryness, we still love it for all skin types (so long as you prep your skin properly), and we love that the shade range is very inclus

Humectants: Hydration is important. "Many lip plumpers also use humectants, most commonly hyaluronic acid or glycerin, that will help pull and hold hydration into the skin," notes Dr. Saedi. "Pulling in hydration will help give the lips a smoother, plumper appearance. Lips are prone to losing moisture, which is why hyaluronic acid is such a helpful ingredient. Generally, skin that is fully hydrated and moisturized looks smoother and helps conceal the appearance of fine lines . This is one of the reasons why moisturizing your skin and keeping it hydrated is so important for your face and li

It was super easy to blend and felt comfortable and hydrating on our skin during testing. We do wish it had better buildability so it could fully cover discoloration, but it did a nice job of blurring imperfections and creating uniform-looking s

It has a sweet, light peppermint smell and is very comfortable to wear and reapply throughout the day. Think of this as your favorite lip gloss that comes in so many shades to try—the formula is lov
