With so many celebrity brands to choose from, we’ve put together a helpful list of must-haves from your favorite singers, actresses, and reality stars in the beauty biz.
Who says you’re not perfect without any makeup? Not Selena Gomez.
But if you want to add a little color and shine to your face, fans are “obsessed” with this liquid eyeshadow, calling it “highly pigmented” and “absolutely gorgeous.”
“[It] dries down SO nicely and stays perfectly put on my eyelids all day, and the color is AMAZING. Selena ate with this,” raved one fan.

Kylie Jenner has about a zillion beauty products to choose from, but her four-piece mini set means you don’t have to choose just one.
