King Kylie is the freshest of them all. From her flawless mirror selfies and the lips that launched a sold-out lip kit, to her habit for designing clothes and penning dystopian novels in her spare time, the Snapchatting siren is no stranger to influencing the masses. When it comes to lip-centric endeavors in particular, the youngest member of the Kardashian clan is miles ahead of her competition.
And while any one of her (currently) 49.3 million Instagram followers can vouch for her fantastic all-natural beauty look, it's her glammed-up beauty appearance that continues to fascinate. Nobody's face is rocking as well-blended a contour as Kylie Jenner's, who told The New York Times that Anastasia Beverly Hills Contouring Kit is one of her must-have makeup picks.
But her ways of wisdom don’t end there. Beyond lovely lips and glowing skin is a whole slew of products handpicked by the reality star to stand the test of time (or, you know, at least outlast whatever products you've already tried and subsequently lost faith in). Embrace your inner makeup maven, and outfit your own cosmetics collection in pieces preferred by Kylie herself! (Kylie's price point too high? We've also found the next-best-thing products to buy now.) Thank us later.

Steal: CoverGirl LashBlast Mascara
