Whether you're using your weekends to appear at a masquerade ball or playing dress up with your little ones, your attire is not complete without the proper makeup. The dressing part is a cinch, yet selecting the products to dramatize your look seems daunting. View our options for the top brands to achieve instant lashes, vibrant eyes and everlasting lips. 

Make Up For Ever
Obtain lash power with False Eyelashes ($14, Sephora) available in over 30 different shades and styles. A few of our faves include, black with brown feathers, blue feathers with red tips, or pink with black polka dots. Add a faultless touch of glitz to lashes with Strass Glue-on crystals ($25).

Exaggerated face and body paint is manageable with Flash Color ($17, Sephora) creamy thick color makeup. You’ll be the talk of the party with Diamond Powder ($24, Sephora) instant glitter. To lessen the shimmer, combine powder with foundation, lipstick or lotion for a mild twinkle.

Eye power
Settle for four instead of one with Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics Pressed Mineral Eyeshadow Quads ($35.95, ybskin.com )—an outrageous set of shades to dangerously define and highlight eyes. Partner with Too Faced Liquif-Eye Shadow Collection ($32.50, ULTA.com ) for a seamless look.

Tarte
If you’re pale and pasty you can benefit with a hint of rouge. Our pick, We Wish You Happiness Mini Cheekstain Set ($30, Sephora) which contains three natural water-based gel blushes suitable for all ages and skin types (its oil-free).    

Only the folks at Tarte know how to bottle a champagne-colored body shimmer that matches perfectly with all skin tones, Celebutante Dry Oil Shimmer Spray ($28, Sephora) is the instant fake-it-I-just-walked-off-a-photo-shoot-look.

Lips
Minimize lip color with Barley Nude lanolin-free lipstick by Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics ($16, ybskin.com). Apply a well made lip liner like FACE atelier lip pencil ($17.50, faceatelier.com ) to keep pout from drying out.

Putting on makeup is useless unless you have the appropriate tools. Top selling brush set, Haute Face Tool Kit ($179, hauteface.com ) includes all the brushes you can imagine to create a magical look. Bonus buy, it comes in a travel size carry case.
