No need to try out all those samples. These expert beauty picks are guaranteed to be a home run.
Beauty products often put us in a conundrum. From the outside, they all look the same. But which are really the best and worth our investment? How would we know without trying ‘em all? For answers, we called up a favorite makeup artist for advice. She declined to share her name (aside from being modest, she is simply too busy for more clients.) So trust us, these are products you didn’t know you were missing in your makeup bag.

So right on about the Revlon Lipstick. nothing stays on like it!
Dena says
I’ve tried all the long lasting lipsticks … even better than those two is that Maybelline super stay lipstick. Doesn’t budge for days!

Just by the way, the marc jacobs liner has been discontinued. Still trying to find a replacement that does travel or smudge.
