It's time to sweep on some blush, swipe some lipstick, and go out to a party. Remember makeup? Those powders and creams and sprays we'd use to enhance our natural features and sometimes confuse strangers? No? If I close my eyes I can almost recall what I looked like with lipstick on. True, I haven't considered makeup since about February 2020, but I can still remember how fun it used to be. Now that the world has re-opened and people are starting to unleash the lower halves of their face to the public again, it might be time to re-up your stash of makeup products. The excitement I feel about being able to go out of my house with lip gloss is truly upsetting. Of course, by now most of my products have hit the expiration date (This is a real thing! Look it up!) so it's time to buy a few more staples for my collection. And just like paper towels, vacuum bags, and all those other household essentials, Amazon is the place to go for makeup must-haves. If you don't think Amazon is the go-to place for beauty, think again. Amazon has the best collection of not just makeup, but of skincare, nail care, haircare, body products, and even specialized care like wrinkle creams or the cure to strawberry legs. Plus, with Amazon's Prime Early Access Sale event around the corner on October 11th and 12th, these products are getting even more affordable. Below, find the best of the best, from highly-rated mascaras, to tried-and-true eyebrow pencils.
