We're kicking off this series with the best of the best in the eye makeup department. If you're new to this series, I explained the ins and outs in this post here.

Brows:

Eyebrow Pencil:

Jordana Fabu Brow

This pencil glides on smoothly and is a waxy formula allowing it to stay in place and mimic natural eyebrow hairs.

Price: $6

Eyeshadows:

Eyeshadow Palette:

Wet 'N Wild Icon Collection Palette

Soft, creamy and pigmented, these shadows are wearable, easy to blend, and flattering. Favorite palette: Comfort Zone.
Price: $4.99

Eyeshadow Trios:

Wet 'N Wild Icon Collection Trios

See previous palette description above, as it all applies however there are even more wearable shade combinations in these little gems. Shadows are also labeled "lid," "crease," and "brow bone" to assist in showing where to apply them. Favorite trio: Walking on Eggshells.

Price: $2.99

Individual Eyeshadows:

Elf Individual Pan Eyeshadows 

So soft they can crumble on contact, these Elf Eyeshadows come in individual pans to add to an Elf palette for a customizable selection of colors. These buttery smooth eyeshadows are so pigmented you just need a tiny bit to create your look. Also did I mention they are only a dollar a piece? Major score!
Price for individual eyeshadow: $1
Price for empty white compact to put eyeshadows in: $3

Cream Eyeshadows:

Maybelline Color Tattoos

These bad boys stay put as promised in the name! They make great bases to any eye look and prevent shadow from creasing and straying. They're highly pigmented and hold up wonderfully. Where alone or under eyeshadows to create unique metallic shades. Favorite shades: Barely Branded and Bad to the Bronze.
Price: $6.99

Eyeliners:

Pencil Eyeliner:

Rimmel Scandal Eyes

No more raccoon eyes here! Perfect to use on the lash line, water line or tight line (the water line on your up lashes). Rimmel's Scandal Eyes goes on vibrant, smudges well to create smokey looks but it's waterproof so it stays put all day after it sets!

Price: $4.49

Liquid Eyeliner:

L'Oreal Super Slim Infallible Liquid Liner 

Calling all liquid liner lovers. You shall rejoice with this liners amazing formula that creates a pigmented and clean line. By having an applicator that is similar to a pencil but with a felt tip, the L'Oreal Super Slim Liner makes applying liquid liner a breeze. Tip: Never apply liquid liner to tight lines or water lines.
Price: $7.19

Cream Eyeliner:

Elf Cream Eyeliner

For eyeliner that still looks freshly applied by the end of the day, Elf's Cream Eyeliner will change your makeup routine. It's smooth, pigmented and easy to apply. Somehow it's waterproof, budge proof and never fades until you take it off-a huge feat for an eyeliner. Did I mention it's only $3?! Almost too good to be true. Tips: Don't use the brush it comes with, purchase a fine liner brush for much easier application. I like the Real Techniques Fine Line Brush...it's amazing. Also, I wouldn't recommend using this on your water line, stick to lash lines with this one.
Price: $3

Mascaras:

Natural:

Covergirl Clump Crusher

Clumps be gone! This little warrior separates lashes beautifully and coats each lash for a fanned out look. This mascara doesn't build volume, so it's more of a natural look but makes your lashes look gorgeous up close. 

Price: $6.89

Volume:

Covergirl Lash Blast Volume

Amp up those lashes with this lash-grabbing mascara. To really build up volume, let it slightly dry for about 30 seconds so it can set up. Then apply a second coat for an attention-getting fan of lashes. Only downside is that it doesn't hold a curl too well so if you have issues with that, opt for the waterproof version. It will hold the curl much longer!

Price: $7.79

Length:

Rimmel The Maxx Volume Flash Mascara

Not often talked about, this lengthening formula not only makes your lashes look fabulous but it actually makes your lashes grow longer (the formula is enriched with collagen and keratin to help grow and strengthen lashes). Rimmel has some of the best mascaras I have ever found and when wearing this gem, I was always getting compliments on how long my lashes were! People would even ask me if I was wearing fake eyelashes!

Price: $6.83

Brushes:

Real Techniques Starter Set

These brushes are hands-down the best makeup brushes I have ever used. They have been raved about in the blog world and all over the internet in general. They are the perfect balance between soft and stiff, making it a breeze to blend any shadows like a pro. The best part? This kit is only $17.99 for five professional brushes! Their individual brushes are around $7-$8.
Price: $17.99
