IT Cosmetics Brow Power Universal Eyebrow Pencil

The dual-sided eyebrow pencil — which has an oval tip on one end and a spoolie on the other — is the key to achieving natural-looking brows, but spoiler alert, it’s capable of so much more. Swipe it across the eyelids to add dimension to any eye look or gently dot it along the bridge of the nose for faux freckles. Either way, they’ll want to keep this small but mighty tool on hand at all times.

Maybelline New York Great Lash in Clear

This clear gel mascara might just be the secret to looking perfectly polished with little to no effort. Aside from lengthening and lifting lashes for a more elevated natural look, the clear formula can be used to lock brows in place and tame baby hairs.

YSL Nu Blotting Lotion

They can ditch blotting papers for good with this multitasking primer in their arsenal. Not only does it grip makeup in place for all-day wear, it also mattifies the skin and prevents shine from accumulating in oily-prone areas.
