1.A vibrant neon eyeshadow palette featuring an assortment of ten bright, Day-Glo daydream colors SO richly saturated, colorful, and blendable, you'll wonder what you ever did without them.

2.A liquid eyeliner for drawing the cat eye sharp enough to kill a man, which is a phrase that was popularized on Tumblr back in the day that honestly still totally hits (no wonder Taylor used it in a song). Whether you want a subtle line or a big swooping arch, this one walks the line...Johnny Cash pun intended.

3.An E.l.f. double-sided brush so you can downsize your brush collection, because let's be real, it's probably time to throw out some of those and start anew. This beautiful two-in-one tool works great for all types of makeup, from eyeshadow to blush.

4.A buildable, multi-use lip and cheek tint which is not only incredibly affordable, it's super versatile, too, making it perfect for taking with you on long trips or out and about in your purse for on-the-go reapplication.

5.An E.l.f. poreless putty primer because *every* makeup masterpiece needs a solid foundation, and this stuff glides effortlessly over your skin. The price can't be beat, either.

6.A royal orange makeup sponge SO much easier to use to apply your foundation, primer, and/or BB cream than a brush. It glides on smooth and also makes for an awesome blender and tiny mistake cleaner-upper with its flat edge to apply and cover and round edge to smooth.

7.A COVERGIRL mascara primer which I *swear* is the ultimate secret to properly prepping your lashes. This stuff moisturizes, lengthens, thickens, and primes from root to tip in lickety-split.

8.A pack of star-shaped pimple patches so you can look positively fashionable while kissing your blemishes goodbye (not literally, of course). Simply stick 'em on to reduce redness and inflammation while preventing scarring and preventing you from picking. No extra foundation or concealer needed.

9.A Physicians Formula diamond lip plumper so you can shine bright like a diamond, remind 'em all you're still bejeweled, and, pop girl lyrics aside, seriously enhance your pout while giving your smackers the kind of plump-up you've long been dreaming of.

10.A CoverGirl + Olay liquid foundation that doesn't settle into fine lines, it covers them, all the while revitalizing your skin and giving you the kind of instant glow-up you've been dreaming of.

11.A pack of highly effective makeup remover wipes that ~every~ makeup aficionado should have in their arsenal to help clean up mistakes and swipe away mascara, shadow, blush, and all manner of grime and grease at the end of a long day. Snooze away without worrying about staining your pillowcases.

12.A Milani mattifying primer if you need the perfect base for all your makeup looks of the day that'll help it last ALL day. Meet your VIP backstage pass to a flawless face.

13.A Physicians Formula sculpting bronzer that's oh-so delectably creamy, and soft (psst: it's infused with butter). Sculpt, define, and elevate your glow game with the finesse of a master MUA.

14.A L'Oréal Paris face powder great for all skin types. Lock in the glow and keep your look on point, because life's ~way~ too short for a dull complexion.

15.A fantastic Milani setting spray for sealing the deal after all that time and effort you've spent perfecting your look. Help it last longer than your ever-growing to-do list.

16.A gorgeous balm-to-gel cream blush not only highly pigmented but also ~effortlessly~ beautiful when swiped on your cheekbones. It adds the perfect pop of color, leaving you radiant with a natural, healthy glow. ✨
