1. A Neutrogena matte CC cream with a finish that's so fresh and shine-free, you'll swear it's magic. Perfect for a variety of skin types from oily to acne-prone (thanks, skin-balancing niacinamide!) this lightweight, medium-coverage formula will keep you looking like a model off duty every day.

Walmart

Promising review: "This foundation is exactly like its title. 'Flawless.' I have finally found a replacement for my expensive CC Cream. The brand I always use is $60 a tube. I have always loved Neutrogena brand products because they exceed far above leading brands in quality and ingredients. I can not say enough good things about Neutrogena's CC Cream Foundation. A must-buy. You will be pleasantly surprised!" —Selena

Price: $13.94 (available in 22 shades)

2. A Good Molecules 10% niacinamide serum, because niacinamide is one of the skincare industry's best-kept secrets when it comes to embarking on a path toward clear, hydrated skin. Niacinamide is one of those one-and-done ingredients: it can help to refine skin texture, reduce redness, minimize the appearance of hyperpigmentation, and even help to plump dry skin back to its juicy glory.

Walmart

Promising review: "This is a great item for the price. [I] will keep buying and making sure I keep this in my skincare routine." —Erica

Price: $5.98

3. An E.l.f. pout clout lip-plumping pen that proves you don't have to enter the double-digit price range for a pillowy, glossy pout. This clickable pen dispenses product for a tool-free application and goes well with practically any lip liner that's in your current makeup collection.

Walmart

Promising review: "It's shiny with a little tingly for the plumping effect and lasts for a long time! I've gotten unsolicited compliments a few times. I was originally getting this to stash in other purses for emergencies, but this one is staying with me in my everyday purse." —Jessica

Price: $8 (available in eight shades)

4. A Bubble Level Up balancing moisturizer so you can enjoy results that you swear only a wizard-slash-esthetician can give to your skin. This has zinc PCA and niacinamide to help balance breakouts and even skin tone, while yarrow extract helps to condition the skin.

Walmart

Promising review: "This is a good moisturizer for oily/combo skin. I have sensitive skin, and this doesn't irritate me. Has a lightweight gel texture that sinks into my skin and gives a hydrated look to my skin. Makeup sits well on top of this and works well with different sunscreens. Definitely give it a try if you have oily/combo skin." —StephanieTN

Price: $13.48

5. An Eos vanilla cashmere body lotion if you're looking for something that soaks in IMMEDIATELY to lock hydration into dry skin. The mix of whipped vanilla, soft musk, and caramel scents adds a cozy, warm, and luscious feel that you'll want to wrap yourself in 24/7.

Walmart

Promising review: "This is the best-smelling vanilla I have ever had the pleasure of smelling. For the first few weeks of using it, it became my personality. I still absolutely love it. This is the first kind of lotion I can put on my body that soaks in and doesn't feel 'icky.' I've tried other scents of Eos. They're all fantastic. It's just so soothing. TL;DR:— the best scent and formula." —Kiki

Price: $9.97 

6. E.l.f. Skin Suntouchable! Whoa Glow SPF 30 you ought to wear every single day, even if you're spending most of your hours working from home! UV rays travel through your windows indoors, meaning you're still experiencing sun damage while working from your desk. If you don't like spending time rubbing white cast-filled sunscreen into your skin, try this glowy-tinted version instead!

instagram.com

Just remember: a higher SPF doesn't mean prolonged protection. Make sure to reapply every two hours, especially if you're going to be out in the sun!

Promising review: "I'm using this as my only face moisturizer and makeup, without any other foundation, etc. It has a nice consistency and is a very good level of moisturizer, not greasy at all. It provides very light coverage, making my skin look brighter and nicer but still a very natural look. I also love that it has SPF 30, so I don't have to apply any extra sunscreen just for a regular day." —Susan

Price: $14 (available in three shades)

7. And if you want a similar glow but don't want to stray away from your current SPF, L'Oréal Paris's True Match Lumi Glotion to make you look like you just had a facial. This comes in a variety of shades to add a lit-from-within glow across most skin tones!

Walmart

Watch someone rave about the L'Oreal Paris True Match Lumi Glotion on TikTok!

Promising review: "I am absolutely in love! This product offers the perfect balance of coverage and lightness, giving my skin a natural, glowing finish. It feels incredibly lightweight, almost like wearing nothing, yet it evens my skin tone beautifully. The subtle tint provides enough color to enhance my complexion without looking heavy or cakey. Plus, it's super easy to apply and blends effortlessly.'" —Emi

Price: $13.98 (available in five shades)

8. A Sally Hansen instant cuticle remover gel is one of the only products you need for at-home manicures. This gently softens dead cuticles to make removal as safe and straightforward as wiping the gel away after a few minutes! Think of this as the exfoliation part of your cuticle-care routine.

Walmart

Promising review: "This is the best product for removing cuticles. Easy to apply, lasts a while, and significantly softens skin around the nail. This is a must-have in my nail care kit! —Amaliya

Price: $4.97

9. And just as you would moisturize your face after exfoliating, try this nail and cuticle oil to moisturize the skin for lovely cuticles to come! Remember — cuticles are a living part of the nail, and cuticle health = nail health. This oil is chock-full of vitamin E for nourished cuticles and nail beds.

Walmart

Promising review: "I bought the Sally Hansen Treatment Cuticle Oil a couple of weeks ago because I have really dry cuticles that peel. After just a couple of weeks of use, my cuticles are healing, and my nails feel so much stronger! I'm planning on getting another bottle to keep at my desk at work!" —Kelsey

Price: $6.74

10. CeraVe hydrating eye cream so you can go about your day looking like you've had eight hours of sleep (even if that's far from the truth). This eye cream contains essential ceramides, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid to flood the skin with moisture while helping brighten. And if you wonder about skincare lasting throughout the day, CeraVe's patented MVE ingredient-delivery technology continuously slow-releases ingredients for lasting benefits!

Walmart

Promising review: "This Cerave eye product is amazing, especially for the price. I've tried MANY eye products, and none moisturize and smooth my delicate eye area like this. I have very dry skin around/under my eyes, which completely fixes that. After one use, I could see it working. I use it in the morning under my face cream and makeup and put it on b4 going to bed. It also helps with under-eye bags, but my main reason for using and loving this product is the moisturizing quality and the way it makes my skin brighter. I highly recommend." —samone

Price: $14.44

11. A Garnier cleansing balm to melt all your makeup away, including waterproof mascara and intense lip stains! Since this balm has an oily texture, we recommend using it as the first part of your double-cleansing routine.

Walmart

Promising review: "Cleans ALL makeup off immediately! No traces left AT ALL! I have searched for a product like this for YEARS! I love it and will definitely Buy more! 😍" —Sherena

Price: $11.97

12. Peach Slices snail mucin wash-off jelly mask because snail mucin is all the rage when it comes to hydrating the skin. This mask has 95% snail mucin inside, and along with helping your skin feel plump, it can also help reduce the appearance of blemishes and dullness.

Walmart

Promising review: "This is my new favorite mask. I have hypersensitive, combo, middle-aged skin. This mask seems to do it all; my skin absolutely loves it. It's soothing and moisturizing, brightens my skin, cleans my pores, and balances my dry/oily spots. My skin feels so comfortable after using this. The price is incredible for what it does. The jar will last a while. I highly recommend it!!" —Sara

Price: $16.88

13. A Bubble Skincare mask if you're after one thing and one thing only: clear, even skin. You can use this a few times weekly to soak up excess oil and help combat future breakouts!

Walmart

Promising review: "The best clay mask there is! Super easy to use and I love how easy it is to wash off. It's extremely gentle but very effective. My skin feels soft, smooth, and fresh after use! It can also be used as a spot treatment, so the price is amazing, especially considering all it can do!" —Kira

Price: $18.98

14. A Kristin Ess moisturizing shampoo that contains proprietary Zip-Up Technology to seal split ends! Though this color-safe formula is sulfate-free, it lathers up like a dream *and* contains moisturizing avocado oil! If you want something to give your hair a boost in between salon appointments, this is the perfect no-thoughts-required shampoo.

Walmart

Promising review: "The smell is unreal. They are not lying with the high lathering. I have thick, long hair, and I only had to use a penny size, and my hair was covered in suds. It really feels like you're getting a deep scrub clean compared to other shampoos. I got the conditioner also and I am obsessed. I feel like I got my hair done at the salon. My new must-have. I don't know how I could use any other shampoo after this." —Marianne

Price: $11.97

15. A viral Maybelline liquid blush because blush is one of the easiest ways to add quick color to your complexion. Might as well fortify your collection with a highly pigmented formula that blends into the skin like a dream while adding a dewy touch to your look. (No blotchy spots here, folks!)

Walmart

Promising review: "This is a great blush. The color is perfect and is very smooth to apply. It lasts for the majority of the work day. I would buy it again when needed." —Helen

Price: $6.12+ (available in five shades)

16. A CoverGirl Outlast lip stain that has the staying power of a traditional lip stain with the ease and control of a lip liner, thanks to its marker-like shape. This stain comes in various colors that last throughout the day and gives a just-kissed (but still pigmented!) wash of blurred coverage.

Walmart

Promising review: "THE BEST!! This stays on all day, no joke. I prefer these lip stains over lip liner crayons because they usually don't stay on that long. However, I found a trick, which is to set your lip liner with translucent powder before your lip gloss/lipstick, and that makes anything last. This lip liner stain just looks so natural!" —Lmisha

Price: $8.98+ (available in 14 colors)

17. A set of Conair rollers so you can skip out on heat styling but still achieve '90s-level volume (I'm looking at you, Ms. Aniston). You can apply these before bed and sleep on them for large barrel waves upon waking!

Walmart

Promising review: "I was very surprised at how well these rollers stay in place and curl my hair. My hair is thin and a little shorter than shoulder length. I can't use a curling iron or hot rollers because they burn my scalp. I was very impressed with these rollers and definitely recommend them." —Debbie906

Price: $8.74 for a 31-pack

18. A L'Oréal Paris color-correcting crayon that's like a magic eraser for anything you want to conceal. Got dark circles? Consider using shades of peach or orange (your choice depends on your skin tone). Are blemishes more your concern? Neutralize redness with the green shade. Simply use this before using your concealer for coverage, making your complexion look airbrushed.

Walmart

Promising review: "This corrective stick is fantastic. I use it to cover dark circles under my eyes before I use cover-up." —Valerie

Price: $9.38 (available in five colors)

19. A SheaMoisture curl-defining cream you'll want to stock up on if your curls are in need of something that'll keep them voluminous while also adding definition. This formula wears many hats: coconut oil contains fatty acids that soak into the strands to moisturize them over time; silk protein helps to smooth hair and add a silky feel; and neem oil puts a halt to frizz and adds a shiny bounce to your springy curls.

Walmart

Promising review: "My favorite hair styler. I already have super curly hair, but this product controls my frizziness, is easy to style, loses curls, is soft, and makes hair look and feel so nice. I use a leave-in conditioner and then apply this to my damp hair. Been using for years now and won't be using anything else." —Jessica

Price: $3.48+ (available in three sizes)

20. A Nyx clear eyebrow gel if you are after feathery, wispy brows that you can achieve in under a minute. This brow gel is one of the best drugstore options for freezing brow hairs in place, making them look fuller and softer from the moment you put it on until you wash your makeup off at the end of the day.

Walmart

Promising review: "I have repurchased this brow gel six or seven times already. I get compliments on my brows every time I use this NYX brow glue and everyone I recommend it to loves it!" —Michelle

Price: $9.97 (available in five colors)

21. A detangling leave-in conditioner because using a hair detangler is the best way to quickly separate curls and get rid of knots without causing too much frizz. Along with conditioning the hair, ingredients like biotin and marigolds add strength to the strands while boosting shine. Use this on damp hair and watch how easily your wide-tooth comb will glide through your strands.

Walmart

Promising review: "I loved the silky feel of my hair when I used this detangler. No more fighting or fussing with my hair. I've used this both after a shower and on dry hair. The fragrance is amazing! I highly suggest you try this!" —jennybee

Price: $9.97

22. An Olay daily moisturizer that's pretty much made for people with sensitive skin. If you're after deep moisture that soaks into the skin, paired with SPF protection, this is your new 2-in-1 daily go-to.

Walmart

Promising review: "I'm truly pleased with Olay Complete Daily Facial Moisturizer for Sensitive Skin SPF 15 protection. It's not greasy it's light enough to wear under my makeup, and it has been helping with dry skin on my face during the day. I really like this product a lot." —Wendy

Price: $11.97

23. A Nyx eyeshadow stick because if you have zero minutes in the morning to pull your look together, blending this eyeshadow onto your lids and crease takes approximately zero time. It takes under a minute to apply but makes your eyes appear as if you've been working on your makeup for hours. (Oh, and it works as a great highlighter in a pinch!)

Walmart

Promising review: "It does its job to highlight my eye area more. I do have dark brown eyes, which are almost black and it totally enhances the shape of my eyes." —Apple

Price: $5.97 (available in 15 shades)

24. A Wet Brush, since brushing knots out of your hair while you're still in the shower, is the magic trick for keeping your hair tangle-free! Using this will help your conditioner coat your strands more fully while minimizing breakage that might happen during an out-of-the-shower boar bristle brushing session.

Walmart

Promising review: "I bought this today and used it after I washed my hair tonight. I ran it through my long hair before I got in the shower. Soooo smooth! It did not pull my hair (ends). Then, when I got out of the shower, I used a wide-tooth comb and then this brush. Wow! The brush went through my hair so easily. I hope it will be like this every time I do my hair. At the moment, I am very happy with this brush." —Elizabeth

Price: $8.18 (available in seven colors)

25. A Maybelline corrective concealer because sometimes a quick and simple full-coverage concealer is all you need to slay the day. This concealer evens out any dark hues or puffiness under the eyes, diminishes redness around the nose, and can even work as a makeshift highlighter in a pinch.

Walmart

Promising review: "I have been using this product for several years. I have found it out performs even the more expensive brands, it stays put. it even takes a little longer to wash off at the end of the day compared to the rest of my makeup. They have many colors for many complexions. Give it a try!" —vic

Price: $8.98+ (available in 24 shades)

26. A L'Oréal Paris volumizing waterproof mascara so your killer makeup looks can last through ANYTHING — whether that's a trip to the sauna, a workout at the gym, or tears of joy.

Walmart

Promising review: "Best mascara I’ve ever used! Better than my $30 mascara! Give it a shot!" —Caroline

Price: $9.97 (available in eight shades)

27. A hugely popular Physicians Formula bronzer because no rule says you can't emulate the glow you'd get from being in the sun, even if you're actually indoors all day. Dust this onto the top of your forehead, cheeks, and nose, and *poof* people will surely think you just came back from a tropical getaway.

Walmart

Promising review: "I LOVE this bronzer. I have a light to medium complexion, which is just the perfect level of warmth. Not too brown, not too orange, but just right. And the consistency is amazing. I don't see a lot of fallout with this. Add in that delicious scent that has me enjoying a day at the beach, my happy place, and I'm in heaven. I won't stop buying this one." —kathleen

Price: $8.25+ (available in two shades)

28. A Nyx dewy setting spray that will be the finishing touch to your my-skin-but-better makeup routine. This setting spray will hold your makeup in place for HOURS while adding a subtle sheen to your complexion.

Walmart

Promising review: "If you are looking to set your makeup in hot weather or you have the issue with your makeup not lasting in general you need to get this product. What sets this apart is it's excellent for dry and mature skin, plus it does not cost a fortune." —Kelly

Price: $9.97

29. A bestselling Bioré charcoal face wash because sometimes your face might go straight back to feeling slick mere hours after washing. This cleanser wicks away excess grime while the charcoal inside absorbs oil.

Walmart

Promising review: "This is the only face wash I use. The others break my face out more or keep it oily and not fresh feeling. This one does the trick for me all day!" —Chealsie

Price: $9.87

30. And an E.l.f. Poreless Putty Primer aka your secret to a shine- and texture-free glow during your day-to-day. You can wear this under your foundation for extra hold, or even wear it on its own for a natural, blurred effect. Seriously, the hold from this is some next-level sorcery stuff.

Walmart

Promising review: "I was surprised by how well this keeps makeup in place and prevents creasing. I've tried a few different primers and wasn't impressed until this product. I do recommend trying." —Angela

Price: $10+ (also available in three other styles)
