As someone who suffers from chronically dry lips, I was thrilled to discover Mary Kay NouriShine Plus Lip Gloss. Unlike several other brands I’ve tried, this non-sticky gloss helps keep my lips smooth and moisturized for hours. Plus, with 14 shimmery and non-shimmery shades to choose from, it’s easy to pick out the perfect gloss for any occasion.
2. Mineral Powder Foundation

Looking for lightweight, buildable coverage that doesn’t fade? Mary Kay Mineral Powder Foundation has definitely earned its spot as a regular in my makeup routine lineup. Along with its consistent coverage and ability to stay put, it also comes in an ultra-light ivory shade that’s the perfect match for my incredibly fair skin. With 12 shades available, you’ll easily be able to find the one that’s right for you, too.
3. Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover

With just one swipe of Mary Kay Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover, you’ll easily see why it’s one of the brand’s best-selling products. Safe for those with sensitive skin, this liquid remover instantly banishes even the heaviest eye makeup and toughest waterproof mascara. But don’t let the powerful results fool you into thinking it’s a harsh product. Mary Kay’s eye makeup remover is so gentle, I don’t even take my contacts out before using it.
4. Mineral Eye Color

With more than 30 subtle-to-dramatic shades to choose from, Mary Kay Mineral Eye Color makes it easy to mix, match and create the perfect look for everything from a romantic night on the town to a busy day at the office. Three of my all-time favorite shades are shimmery Lime, matte Lavender Fog and creamy Moonstone. Check out the color choices online, and start putting together your own unique palette.
If you're in the relentless hunt for the perfect mascara, that not only volumizes but also gives your lashes the much-needed lift, then you should absolutely give the dior show mascara a try. It's undeniably one of the best mascaras that guarantees both length and volume while leaving no clumps behind.
5. Ultimate Mascara

6. Compact Pro
/filters:quality(70)/content/beauty/2013/02/6_compact-pro_600x537.jpg)
When it comes to organizing my Mary Kay makeup products, I just love the Compact Pro, which is large enough to hold all of my favorite items, but still small enough to toss into my suitcase when I travel. Thanks to the compact’s refillable design, it’s also a cinch to switch things out as needed. Looking for a compact that’s just as versatile but not quite so big? Mary Kay sells two smaller models, as well.
7. Classic Basic Clarifying Mask 3
/filters:quality(70)/content/beauty/2013/02/7_classic-basic-clarifying-mask-3_600x717.jpg)
Last but certainly not least, Mary Kay’s Classic Basic Clarifying Mask 3 for acne-prone skin is a velvety smooth clay-based mixture that helps clear away oil and exfoliate all at once. You’ll love the way it feels going on, along with how soft your skin is afterward. Worried about sensitivity? This gentle, fragrance-free mask won’t irritate.

Adriana: Not sure how you can claim they don't, their own website says we don't test on animals "unless absolutely required by law". Hence, they test on animals when required by law.
Adriana: I don't know why my post got removed, but The Mary Kay website states that they do not test on animals unless absolutely required by law, and they sell to countries which require animal testing by law, hence their removal from cruelty free status.
Kenzie: Love this post! I sell MK!!! :)
Sandy: I love mark Kay products I live in Richmond, CA and I'm looking for a local consultant
Melanie: I just have to say... I just ordered my inventory kit as a beauty consultant and I have fallin in love with satin hands and satin lips! They deserve a spot on this list!
Stacy: I have used Mary Kay for over 20 years. I love it when people guess my age...usually 5-7 years younger than what I really am. I tell everyone it is all due to Mary Kay. They are a wonderful company to work for and to buy from.
Katie: MK never has and never will test on animals! ;)
Adriana: I'm not saying they don't do good things too, but if someone is very against animal testing, they have the right to make that informed decision. I think Mary Kay is a leader in the mainstream industry, and to some people that's enough. There are other brands that won't touch animals and if that's what someone wants let that be that
Esmeralda: I love the make up remover the best!!
Jeni: @Teri Fox there is no lead in MK lipstick.
