Considering there's a billion and one makeup products out there, you're probably having some trouble figuring out WTF you should actually be putting on your face. Which mascara will give you Bambi-level lashes? Which foundation won't slide off your skin by lunch? And which liquid lipstick will truly last all night? Why won't anyone help?!

Hey, don't worry—we're here now. And no matter your makeup questions, we've got the answers, along with a boatload of really excellent products to help cut through all the noise. It's officially time to present the winners of this year's CosmoMakeup Awards (*cue fireworks and balloons*).

This list of 18 products was handpicked by our very own team of beauty editors—a group of people who spend their lives obsessively swatching, swiping, and scrutinizing formulas to find the best products that really do what they promise. So without further ado, we present to you the very best foundation, lip, cheek, and eye products we literally haven't shut up about for the last 12 months. Sorry in advance to your bank accounts. 

LET'S BE REAL: SKINCARE CAN ONLY GET YOU SO FAR. LET THESE MVPS DO THE REST.
