3. Mac Prep + Prime Skin: this primer is completely AH-mazing! It's super lightweight, but magically evens out redness and skin tone. It creates the most gorgeous base for your makeup and is one of the TOP rated primers loved by multiple Nordstrom makeup artists that I quizzed about their fave primers, and I can't help but agree. It's AWESOME. Get it today for 15% off and only $30.60 (reg $36).

I love that it perfectly complements almost any makeup look AND it's so comfortable to wear and nourishing on the lips. 15% OFF select shades during this hidden makeup sale!
10. Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer: this concealer is what dreams are made of as far as a dewy, glowy concealer that ACTUALLY conceals dark circles under your eyes. It stays as long as you want it to stay, and I feel like I look ALIVE when I put a tiny bit of this underneath my eyes. Get it today for as low as $11.05! (Reg. up to $29)
11. Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation: This award winning Luminous Silk Foundation from Giorgio Armani has over 3,000 perfect reviews!! Glowing reviews and glowing skin? That’s a win-win.

I wear the color “7.” Get the 0.6 oz for only $38.25 or the 1 oz for $58.65 (reg. $69).
12. Brow Pen: this Brow Pen keeps selling out everywhere because it's truly phenomenal!! If you want the look of microbladed brows but don't want to pay the pain or price tag, this is the product for you! Before I had my brows laminated I'd fill in my brows like normal with a brow pencil and then layer this stroking pen (in Taupe) in the direction of my brow hairs. It gives a killer 3D look, like all of a sudden you grew a bunch of brow hairs! Only $18.70 during this hidden makeup sale!
13. drybar Detox Dry Shampoo: I LOVE the drybar Detox Dry Shampoo! So much so that I included it in my best dry shampoo post. I'm obsessed with the smell and it cleanses perfectly. It does leave a slight white residue if you go overboard, so spray light! 15% OFF the 3.5 oz size right now.
14. Benefit Gimme Brow+ Volumizing Eyebrow Gel: The Gimme Brow eyebrow gel is almost spooky with the way it magically fills in your brows and makes them appear fuller! It's like you grow eyebrows (in the BEST way) as you apply it. Seriously so cool. I use the warm deep brown color and always end up with the most natural-looking, beautifully full, and defined brows! This is such a staple for me. Get it for 15% OFF in the 0.05 oz. or 0.1 oz. size today!
15. Urban Decay Lip Pencil: Urban Decay’s “Glide-On” products really do glide on like butter but stay alllllll day.

Click HERE to get the 50% OFF discount on all shades. It’s the very best time to try it if you haven’t already, too! This is a MASSIVE makeup sale steal.
16. Armani Luminous Concealer: This concealer IS. INCREDIBLE. It feels so light, not sticky or tacky, but still gives amazing coverage. If you're looking for a powerful but lightweight concealer, this is the one for you. I wear it in the color 6, which is brightening but still blends beautifully with the foundation. Truly I can describe it perfectly by its name: Luminous Silk! 15% OFF today!
17. Lancome Artliner liquid eyeliner: my new fave liquid eyeliner! If liquid eyeliner has terrified you in the past like it has for me, this will be your new best friend. The application is kind of like using a felt tip marker and I promise it's way easier than the little brush and liquid set you tried back in 7th grade. Over 800 perfect reviews!! Get it in black or metallic brown for only $26.35. (Reg. $31)
18. Bobbi Brown Art Stick Lipstick: this lip crayon is like the perfect marriage between a lipstick and a liner, except way easier to apply. It helps you line your lips super easily and then just fill in the rest of the color, AND it lasts for hours and hours just like a lip liner would do, but with the creaminess of a good lipstick. Get it for 15% OFF today!
19. Anastasia Beverly Hills Blush Trio: I love how pigmented these blushes are! They're such insanely gorgeous colors and they last all day. Plus I love the trio for mixing and matching to find exactly the right shade for you! Only $25.50 today! (Reg. $30)
