More a fan of the all natural look? Then create the "no makeup"-makeup trend with this start kit. It includes minis of their best-selling products like the Afterglow/Mineral Glow Duo Split Pan and Lip Oil, and a full-sized mascara and bonus Lit Mist to finish off the look.

This kit was actually crafted for makeup beginners to get a first taste of cosmetics. It's filled with sample-sized favorites of best-sellers like the fan-favorite shape tape concealer, plus a mini fragrance and the adorable makeup bag!

Unlike other beauty sets, this one from Glossier is special for being totally customizable. You can choose any shade of any full-sized product featured in this kit, which includes their best-selling Haloscope highlighter, Balm Dot Com lip balm, Boy Brow gel, and Cloud Paint cheek color.

Want to pamper your pout? Then grab this kit, stat! This set, made by the masterminds at Sephora, includes five deluxe sample sizes of best-selling lippies like Fenty Beauty's highly coveted Gloss Bomb and Lancôme's Juicy Tubes.

When it comes to clean beauty, ILIA can't be beat. This brand only uses ingredients that won't mess up your skin, or the Earth. This kit includes minis or their fan-favorite mascara, Balmy Gloss Lip Oil, Liquid Light Serum Highlighter, and a full-sized Multi-Stick in Lady Bird.

Thanks to this mini kit, there's a way to try not one but three of Pat McGrath Lab's luxury lipsticks for $25. This kit includes three mini sizes of these matte lippies, and comes in two varieties for you to choose from.

Let's be real — you can’t beat the O.G.s. That's why we love this complexion kit from bareMinerals. They were one of the first at the forefront of clean beauty, and these top-performance complexion products like their classic Original Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15.

With makeup comes makeup brushes — well, we wish they came together, but unfortunately most are sold separately. That's why we're obsessed with this brush kit from Sigma: It has eight of the essential brushes you need to prep and perfect your cosmetic creations.

We're not kidding when we say this kit has everything you need for perfect arches. It includes brow gel, a spoolie, brow powder, tweezers, and brow stencils to create a seamless look, even if you're a beginner.

Doll up your eyes with this kit! It includes four full-sized products made to make your eyes pop: one liquid liner, a black gel liner, and two mascaras. It's all you need to give your eyes a more dramatic look.
