Urban Decay Urban Defense Complexion Primer, $34 MSRP: “The hydrating gel formula is one my all-time favorite primers to not only protect my skin with Broad Spectrum sunscreen, but also provide a longer lasting hold to my makeup. Especially in the summer when the mix of sweat, heat, and humidity can do a number on my painstakingly-applied makeup, I like to prep my skin with primer.”

Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray, $32 MSRP: “The weightless mist helps keep foundation, concealer, eyeshadow—you get the idea—in place for a makeup look that lasts all day without melting, cracking, or settling into fine lines.”

Lancôme Bi-Facil Eye Makeup Remover, $30 MSRP: “With the last bits of budget, I’d snag this cult-favorite eye makeup remover. It sweeps off all traces of eye makeup easily and effectively, saving my eye contour from harsh rubbing and tugging that can bring unwanted wrinkles and lines to life.”

Drunk Elephant C-Tango Multivitamin Eye Cream, $64 MSRP: “I'd also pick up Drunk Elephant C-Tango Multivitamin Eye Cream. I exceeded my budget a little, whoops! I know a lot of people aren't convinced eye creams make a big impact, but I'm a big believer in preventative skin care and the benefits of vitamin C.”

Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado, $48 MSRP: "If I'm not sure what to buy, Sephora's best-selling products are always a good bet. This eye cream is the perfect example, the popular formula ever so gently rehabs a dry under-eye area."

Urban Decay Naked Skin One & Done Hybrid Foundation ($36 MSRP), Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté Shine Oil-In-Stick Lipstick ($37 MSRP), Giorgio Armani Beauty Eccentrico Mascara ($32 MSRP): “Not only do I love these three products individually, but paired together they make for the ultimate no-fuss makeup look. Where Urban Decay Complexion Perfector works to even out my redness-prone skin, the creamy hot pink YSL lipstick helps tie my look together by adding a pop of color, and the Giorgio Armani mascara enhances my lashes for a little more eye definition.”
