If you're in the market for a new liquid eyeliner, the Kat Von D Tattoo Liner ($20) is a great place to start — after all, it's earned more than 460,000 loves at Sephora.

Clinique Naturally Glossy Mascara
sephora.com

Clinique Naturally Glossy Mascara

Several Sephora reviewers mention how underrated and nonclumping they find this Clinique Naturally Glossy Mascara ($20). Sure, it's not meant for someone who wants a bold look since the formula's gel-based to naturally define lashes with just a hint of color (instead of adding a ton of volume).

The bestselling Benefit Cosmetics Precisely, My Brow Pencil ($12-$24) has an ultrafine tip to define brows by adding hairlike lines.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Loose Pigments

The Anastasia Beverly Hills Loose Pigments ($22) make a great shimmering eyeshadow, but there's no reason why the five shades can't also be used highlight the rest of the face, or even your collarbone, too.

Too Faced Shadow Insurance

Too Faced Shadow Insurance

If you're spending time to carefully apply eyeshadow, it makes sense to want that to last. This Too Faced Shadow Insurance ($22) ensures that the colors go on smoothly, look bolder, and last longer, too.

Smashbox Mindful 5 Nourishing Lip Oil
sephora.com

Smashbox Mindful 5 Nourishing Lip Oil

The name of this Smashbox Mindful 5 Nourishing Lip Oil ($18) comes from its five "mindful" ingredients and what they're working to do. Whether it's worn alone or under colors, the chamomile alongside hemp seed, jojoba, sunflower, and apricot oils condition and prep lips, while visually plumping, moisturizing, and softening them, too.

Bite Beauty Outburst Longwear Lip Stain
sephora.com

Bite Beauty Outburst Longwear Lip Stain

The ultra-long-lasting Bite Beauty Outburst Longwear Lip Stain ($24) is great for someone who wants a bold color . . . but doesn't want to reapply it hourly. What's more is that the sunflower seed wax inside locks in moisture along with that color, and there's hydrating coconut oil to help out.

Melt Cosmetics Allday Everyday Lipliner
sephora.com

Melt Cosmetics Allday Everyday Lipliner

Sure, the waterproof Melt Cosmetics Allday Everyday Lipliner ($17) can line lips to help prevent color from bleeding, but it can also be worn all on its own. The 10 shades are creamy and opaque, all with a matte finish.

sephora.com

Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment Sunscreen SPF 15

You shouldn't just use this Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment Sunscreen SPF 15 ($24) when it's sunny outside, as all the colors — and this untinted option — are actually packed with moisturizing black currant seed oil and the natural humectant sugar, to help keep your lips hydrated in Winter months, too.

Becca Ultimate Lipstick Love
