1. NouriShine plus Lip Gloss

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

Need an all-purpose mascara that won’t smudge or clump? Make the long-lasting and volumizing Mary Kay Ultimate Mascara your go-to tube. Whether you prefer classic black or a black/brown combo shade, this popular mascara is guaranteed to leave your lashes looking beyond fabulous.

6. Compact Pro

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

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.

Are you a fan of Mary Kay? Which of the brand’s beauty and makeup products top your own list of must-haves?

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.

The only country that requires Mary Kay to test on animals is China. Rather than pulling out of that market, Mary Kay has decided to work from within to help end animal testing. All products bought, sold, and manufactured at ALL of the other manufacturing centers are animal testing free. In fact, Mary Kay Ash, herself, helped develop the PETA agreement and the company has always researched alternative testing methods. They started going green before it was cool to do so AND the Mary Kay Ash Charitable foundation supports women and children all over the world as well as donating to cancer research. This company truly operates on the Golden Rule and enriches the lives of women worldwide.

Love that you posted this. I always see posts on here about high end make up that the everyday woman can't afford. So that's why I was ecstatic to see this post. I am a Mary Kay consultant

Mary Kay admitted (years ago) that they used to test on animals but they stopped (years ago)! Mary Kay no longer uses animals testing for their products! It has tainted the company for so many years! I wish people would realize this and use their animal tested free products because they're better than Mac and any other makeup manufacturer out there.
