Beauty Experts Reveal Exactly How They Would Spend $25 at Target

"The darker shade in this silky palette from R&B ($8) contours and sculpts under the cheek bones, and the medium shade can be used on top of the bones for a sleek highlight. Use the lightest on top of the bones for a finishing touch. I love how refined the textures of these powders are — they blend to perfection!" — Louis Philippe de Montpensier, makeup artist

"The cold weather and harsher winds often associated with Fall and Winter can lead to drier lips. This lip tint from Vaseline ($3) is intensely moisturizing, protective, and flavored with grape extract. Plus, the small compact fits right in your bag." — Philippe

"This foundation from NYX ($14) has a dropper that allows you to build from sheer to full coverage. If you start out light and want to add more coverage come evening (maybe for that happy hour), just add a few more drops. It won't crack or muddy up what's already there." — Philippe

Philippe's Total: $25

"This all-in-one soap from Dr. Bronner's ($7) has been in my family since before I was born. It's perfect for all skin types and can be used on the face and body. It comes in a liquid formulation so you can use it to wash your hair! You can also use it to wash your makeup brushes (you'll thank me later). The peppermint scent is my favorite, and a little goes a long way. Just avoid the eye area." — Cherry

"If you are sensitive and shaving/waxing is not your friend, try this hair removal gel cream from Veet ($8). It rinses off easily and leaves skin super soft." - Cherry

Cherry's Total: $21

"This dry shampoo from Batiste ($6) helps to soak up excess oil so you can stretch your blowout another day. It also provides a texture and volume boost for more body." — Michelle Schwartz, hairstylist

"Especially great for those with fine or thinning hair, this blowout spray from John Frieda ($8) will allow you to achieve a big bombshell blowout without breaking the bank at the salon." — Schwartz

"This eyeliner from Physicians Formula ($10) can be used to create the perfect cat eye, while also helping to grow your lashes. I keep one of these in my purse at all times." — Schwartz

Schwartz' Total: $24

"I'm a huge fan of tinted lip balms, and love the selection of subtle shades from Burt's Bees ($5). These 100-percent-natural formulas have the perfect hint of color and leave lips ultra moisturized." — Geoffrey Rodriguez, makeup artist

"I am also never without plenty of Kleenex on hand, whether at home or work. This eight-pack Go Pack costs only $2 and is ideal for using on set because I can keep it in my pocket. The size of the actual tissue is perfect for blotting and wiping away any tears." — Rodriguez

"Perhaps my favorite beauty bargain ever is L'Oréal's Voluminous Mascara ($6). I've used this formula for decades because it creates the most beautiful, full lashes. There are a variety of versions now available. I tend to favor the Carbon Black, though any of the formulas in the range could stand up to a luxury mascara at a fraction of the price." — Rodriguez

"I always have this convenient-sized pack of Q-tips ($1) in my toiletry bag, as well as in my set bag because, on set, the uses are endless. From touching up eye makeup to cleaning products and tools, this is definitely a beauty essential (and steal)!" — Rodriguez

Rodriguez's Total: $23

"I highly recommend this lotion ($3). It's formulated with microdroplets of Vaseline jelly for restoring moisture. It's also safe for sensitive skin — a real must have!" — Dr. Russak

"This micellar water from Simple ($9) is super gentle, so it won't strip or irritate skin while cleansing. It also provides a boost of skin hydration and is great for travel when you won't have water readily available." — Dr. Russak

Dr. Russak's Total: $17

"This dry shampoo from Dove ($4) is my go-to for keeping hair clean between washes. I also love that it's unscented, which is perfect for my clients who are sensitive to fragrance." — Ursula Stephen, hairstylist

"What I love about this line is that it's made with 100-percent-natural ingredients that will smooth and moisturize dry hair, especially important as we get into the colder months. The conditioner ($5) is also very gentle (and perfect for co-washing)." — Stephen

"I found this brush from Cricket ($13) a few months ago, and my mind was blown. Coconut oil has always been one of my favorite ingredients for hair products, so a brush that is infused with it and can be used on wet and dry hair is amazing!" — Stephen

Stephen's Total: $25
