1
Luxury Lipstick
Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lipstick
The warm nude-pink that reads as your-own-lips-but-better on a wide range of skin tones, which is why it sells the way it does. At $78 it's a lot for a nude, and it wants a smooth base to sit right.

Luxury Concealer
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer
Buildable medium coverage with a radiant finish, so it doesn't flatten the under-eye the way a full-matte formula can. The doe-foot wand picks up more than you need, so tap some off before you blend.

Luxury Palette
Urban Decay Naked3 Palette
Twelve rose-toned neutrals — a narrower range than the shade count suggests, and best if pink flatters you rather than warm gold. The mattes are softer than the shimmers and need a lighter hand.

Luxury Lipstick
MAC Retro Matte Lipstick, Ruby Woo
Ruby Woo is the blue-red that has been in makeup bags for decades, and it holds through a meal without touching up. It is a proper drying matte, so put balm underneath if your lips flake.

Mascara
Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara
The flexible bristle wand reaches the short inner-corner lashes most brushes skip, and it's under $20. It builds length more than volume, and it can smudge on oily lids by late afternoon.
