1. Eyeliner
These Contour 12hr Wear eye pencils are nearly identical to Urban Decay’s 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencils. They are soft and creamy to apply and smudge out and have great staying power. One of my favorite shades is Tiramisu. (Sephora, $10)
2. Makeup remover
Sephora sells tons of their Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover every day with good reason. Gentle but effective, safe for contact lens wearers and those with sensitive eyes, it removes even the toughest of waterproof eye makeup. For something you go through quickly and use every day, no need to spend more! (Sephora, $11)

3. Lip liner
I’ve always loved these lip liners (Rouge Gel Lip Liner and Lip Liner to Go) which are completely comparable to the higher end brands. (Sephora, $12 and $6)
4. Night moisturizer
I love this rich night cream for packing great anti-aging ingredients into a budget-friendly product. It hydrates great and contains Sephora’s proprietary HydroSenn + and rice nutripeptides. (Sephora, $30)
5. Cream lip stain
These have been around since before the matte and liquid lipstick trends took over and have stood the test of time. They apply smoothly, have rich pigments and the wear time is great. Best of all, they have no drying feeling or look. Infinite Rose is one of my favorite nude shades. (Sephora, $14)
6. Concealer
When you need to cover a blemish, this high coverage concealer does it flawlessly. The texture melts into skin and the shade selection is great. (Sephora, $15)

7. Powder blush
The Sephora blushes hit all the marks with their high pigment, smooth application and wear. The color selections are flattering and wide. (Sephora, $14)
8. Luminizer
This is a fantastic dupe for NARS Albatross highlighter. It applies even more smoothly and is much kinder to your wallet. Because it’s a baked product, a little bit goes a long way. (Sephora, $14)
8. Lip balm
This is one of my favorite lip balms ever. Its non-waxy texture leaves lips feeling super soft. It contains Shea Butter: Provides emollient properties and improves skin's texture. It’s enriched with shea, grapeseed oil, meadowfoam seed oil and vitamin E. (Sephora, $5)
