Fuller and healthier lashes? Yes, please! We love a multi-tasking makeup product, and Sephora Collection’s Big by Definition Defining & Volumizing Mascara fits the bill.

3. Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick, $15
Lip stains are having a moment, and Sephora Collection’s Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick gives you the long-lasting, transfer-proof color you’ve been looking for. Plus, it’s infused with avocado oil, so it’ll stay silky and smooth from your 8am lecture to your 7pm roomie dinner.
4. Insta-Brow Waxy Brow Pencil, $12
If you want brows that wow, this 4-in-1 pencil from Sephora Collection is a must-have. The blade-shaped tip makes it super easy to fill, define, and shape your brows, while the spoolie on the other side helps you tame, blend, and keep them in place all day.
5. Best Skin Ever Foundation, $20
Say goodbye to cakey foundation. Sephora Collection’s Best Skin Ever Foundation delivers medium coverage in a second-skin finish to achieve that perfect “no-makeup makeup” look. Even better? It’s made with hyaluronic acid and an anti-pollution formula for stress-free, all-day hydrated skin.
6. Smooth & Blur Primer, $16
Primer is key for getting that perfect Instagram-filter-looking skin IRL. This silky formula blurs pores for a flawless finish. Plus, it’s infused with Ginkgo Extract and Stabilized Vitamin E to protect skin from environmental factors.
7. Makeup Match Concealer Brush, $10
A great quality makeup brush can truly last you years—plus, these Sephora Collection brushes are perfect for a college budget. This concealer brush is made from short, cruelty-free, synthetic fibers that help precisely apply, buff, and blend products. Pair it with the Best Skin Ever Concealer to conceal the look of dark circles, redness, and other imperfections in hard-to-reach areas with ease.
8. Matte Perfection Powder Foundation, $20
I don’t know about you, but my skin tends to get shiny after hours on campus—not my ideal look. This powder foundation is perfect for blotting away excess oil with a creamy medium coverage. Plus, its FlexMatte technology moves with your skin to avoid caking and clogged pores.
9. Makeup Setting Spray, $13
A spritz of makeup setting spray is essential to make sure your makeup lasts all day. Whether you’re pulling an all-nighter studying or heading to a party, this spray weightlessly and seamlessly holds your makeup in place for up to 16 hours while remaining transfer- and sweat-proof.
