Neutrogena Crease Proof Eye Shadow
"I used this (in both Lasting Taupe and Copper shades) on Kristen Bell for the Boss premiere. I love the soft shimmery texture. Plus, they go on so easily, and they really don't crease. They work great alone, or layered underneath powder eye shadow for some dimension. It's perfect for someone who just wants to throw on a wash of color on their lids." — Mai Quynh

E.l.f. Blush Palette
"The Light palette includes four pretty and versatile colors and will last you a while because the blushes are highly pigmented and you won't need to use much. I often use the bronzer shade for soft contouring or simply on its own." — Min Min Ma

Burt's Bees Lip Crayons
"These are among my absolute favorite lip pigments to use for editorial photo shoots, red carpets, and everything in between. They're 100 percent natural, infused with shea butter, kendi oil, and jojoba oil, and come in six full-coverage shades. The color is opaque-matte and the formula is hydrating, leaving lips feeling soft and conditioned. Just recently, I used them on Torrey DeVitto and Bailee Madison." — Nicole Walmsley

Rimmel Kate Sculpting Palettes
"I love these trio kits, which come with an easy-to-follow face chart how-to on the back. The blush colors in each one are super pretty and flattering, and these powders have a super easy-to-blend, soft finish that you don't often find in drugstore products. I use all three colors almost every day — there's one for everyone!" — Jo Baker

Maybelline Lip Studio Color Blur
"I love using this product on lips for so many different reasons. First, it's a matte texture but it doesn't dry out your lips! Second, it has a great color payoff and really pops. Finally, it has staying power! You can literally apply it once and it will stay put for hours. No need to reapply." — Joy Fennell

Mark Touch & Glow Palette
