Mascara
If you suffer from brittle eyelashes or simply want to boost their growth, grab Talika Lipocils Expert, a conditioner that also acts as a mascara primer. What a difference a week makes! We love Mirenesse mascara, especially their Secret Weapon 24hr iteration. Not only does the top-secret formula apply evenly to every lash (thanks to the uniquely-shaped brush), but this hypoallergenic mascara is also safe for the most sensitive eyes. Looking for a product that holds up to whatever weather or emotions you experience? The Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara provides serious lift, length, and shine for the softest lashes anywhere. It’s no secret that this is one of the best fiber mascaras out there, and it’s one of our top-selling eye makeup products to boot! Tired of false lash mascaras that promise results and never deliver? That’s set to change with the Stila HUGE Extreme Lash Mascara, a single-coat product that lift, curls, and coats each hair with a clump-free formula. This is the best mascara for short lashes anywhere, and specifically developed with contact wearers in mind.
Eyeliner
Multiple beauty awards can’t be wrong about the Skone Cosmetics Insanely Intense Tattooed Eyeliner. Purchase all five colors at once to achieve a dramatic evening look using this cruelty-free makeup brand’s super pigmented, felt tip eyeliners. We love a Japonesque eyeliner for its precision and smudgeproof formula, so whether it’s an everyday look or a dramatic wing that you’re after, this waterproof liquid eyeliner parties just as hard as you! Need a Smashbox eyeliner that stays put for 24 hours? That’s not an issue with the Always On Gel Eye Liner. This is the best pencil eyeliner for the hottest weather and saddest movies: No tugging, no smudging, no limits!
To draw on the thickest lids, we reach for Stila Smudge Pot, an unbelievably intense gel eyeliner and Stila eyeshadow in one. We love the flexibility that a touch of water and your favorite eyeliner brush provides! There are plenty of vegan makeup brands out there producing eye makeup, but there’s a reason that the cosmetics industry is obsessed with the Antonym Eyeliner Pencil. This 100% natural product won’t tug your lash line (thanks to moisturizing marula and jojoba oil), and the pigmentation allows for a precise or perfectly smudged look every time.
Eyeshadow
For a vegan eyeshadow that holds its own, you have to try Youngblood Eyeshadow. This cruelty-free makeup brand uses crushed minerals to produce pigmentation that positively pops! Perfect for sensitive eyes that are searching for dramatic flair, you’ll love the flexibility that these shaker jars provides! Another mineral makeup on our radar is the Mellow Baked Eyeshadow, a light shimmer eyeshadow that doubles as a highlighter. Need vegan makeup for an outrageous lid? Look no further than Smolder Cosmetics’ Loose Radiant Glitter Eyeshadow, which provides endlessly customizable, holographic options that are perfect for any wild night out! For the boldest look, try Makeuprevue’s Loose Glitter Eyeshadow, which can be applied wet or dry for two totally different looks.
Few liquid eyeshadows have caught our attention like the Butter London Glazen Eye Gloss, a holographic concoction that keeps a wet look, but is dry to the touch. One coat provides the perfect shimmer, while multiple layers create an intense, enamel-like texture. If you’re seeking a classic, no-frills eye makeup, try Jane Iredale Eyeshadow. Whether wet or dry, these are highly-pigmented, crease-resistant products that enhance your natural gifts.
Before applying any powder eyeshadow, make sure that you use the Smashbox Eyeshadow Primer, a sweatproof product that locks in your look for up to 24 hours. If it’s a mineral eyeshadow that you’re looking to hold in place, try the bareMinerals Prime Time Eyeshadow Primer, a lightweight, hypoallergenic oil fighter.
Brow Makeup
No look is complete without finishing your brows, and Skone Brow Wand has become synonymous with ‘perfection’ – and for great reason! There’s no harsh lines here, just an easy-to-use product that controls and shapes your natural brows with blendable color. If you’ve over-plucked your brows in the past, use the Talika Eyebrow Serum Lipocils Ink to stimulate growth and pigment skin for the perfect eyebrows. With any Smashbox eyebrow pencil, you’ll have complete control over your eyebrow shapes.
Eye Makeup Sets
Few brands do makeup kits better than Stila, and with this Stila Liquid Eyeshadow Palette, you get the perfect stocking stuffer with three cream eyeshadow sticks. Looking for the ultimate eyeshadow palette? With the bareMinerals Eyeshadow Palette in Aurora Lights, you’ll have 18 rich and radiant mineral-based colors at your fingertips. Best of all, the formulas are healthy for skin and long-lasting! Not to be outdone, the Pixi Palette Lid Lovelies in Festive Eyes includes 18 silky, shimmery, glittery, and matte shades that blend effortlessly for any occasion.
