9 Must-Have Beauty Products to Add to Your Makeup and Skin-Care Routines

Sunscreen is likely already part of your skin-care routine, but have you tried the Black Girl Sunscreen Moisturizing Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 ($16)? This doubles as a moisturizing lotion (thanks to jojoba, cacao, and avocado) and a lightweight base, which minimizes extra steps. Best of all, it's a sheer formula that goes on clear and leaves no residue behind.

Don't let the word "peel" scare you. The It Cosmetics Hello Results Baby-Smooth Glycolic Acid Peel + Caring Oil ($58) lets you say "hola" to baby-smooth skin with gentle exfoliation and soothing hydration. It contains glycolic acid, which promotes surface-cell turnover and helps reveal brighter, more even-toned skin. Meanwhile, argan oil and meadowfoam-seed oil soothe and hydrate. Use it as a nighttime treatment, and wake up with a soft and nourished complexion.

No matter how minimal your beauty routine may be, eye cream should never be left behind. The Clinique All About Eyes Rich Cream ($35) is a little jar of goodness that diminishes the look of fine lines, undereye shadows, and dark circles. It brings rich hydration to the sensitive eye area while depuffing and strengthening the skin's moisture barrier, so you get a brighter, more-awake result — because the last thing you want is your tia to ask why you look so tired for no reason.

Dry-skin peeps will bow at the Sunday Riley Ice Ceramide Moisturizing Cream ($65). However, it's also for normal and combination skin types. What's great about this rich moisturizing cream is that it targets fine lines and wrinkles, loss of elasticity and firmness, and dullness without the heaviness of other moisturizers. It helps skin look smoother by soothing texture and defending against signs of premature aging. Your amigas will be asking the secret to your youthfulness.

Face oils have earned a valid spot in beauty routines after learning they work for all skin types and not just dry ones. The Ordinary Rose Hip Seed Oil ($10) is a fan favorite for its hydrating power and enhanced barrier support. It helps maintain healthy skin and is rich in vitamin A, linoleic, and linolenic acids, which are omegas. The only ingredient is 100 percent cold-pressed rose-hip seed, so rest assured it's as natural as can be.

Likely the most essential makeup product, a liquid eyeliner instantly adds a little drama (the good kind) to any makeup look. The Lancôme Ultra-Precise Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner ($22) is rated nearly five stars, with over 300 reviews claiming its stellar performance at defining the eyes and seamless application. It glides on smoothly and has up to 24 hours of waterproof wear, which means you can wear it poolside or on your next beach vacation.

The Juvia's Place Rebel Quad ($11) is the eyeshadow foursome you never knew you needed. Available in Army, Greys, Honey, and Mint, this eyeshadow compact contains four highly pigmented eyeshadows to take your look from day to night. A mix of mattes and shimmers brings extra dimension to your makeup, while the pocket size makes it an easy-to-carry palette.

It may be called a foundation stick, but in reality, the BLK/OPL True Color Skin Perfecting Stick Foundation SPF 15 ($12) can do it all. Available in a range of 21 colors for people of color, this multiuse product highlights, contours, blurs pores, and conceals imperfections. It also sculpts cheekbones and helps cover blemishes, leaving a velvety finish. The secret to flawless skin lies in this do-everything essential.

For lashes that cause an impact, the MAC Macstack Mascara ($28) adds volume and lengthens with a small brush that delivers ultraprecise application. It's a buildable mascara that builds on the layers, ending in a natural-to-bold look that can't go unnoticed. It's weightless and clump resistant, so you don't have to worry about your lashes sticking together or appearing like you only have four megalashes. You know what we're talking about!
