Best makeup deals from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale:

Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray Duo

Urban Decay

Shop it! $41 ($82) value, nordstrom.com

We'll probably be wearing face masks for at least a few more months, so it's more important than ever to have a setting spray that locks your makeup into place to prevent it from transferring onto your mask. In case you're wondering if this product really works, trust us, it does. In fact, we wrote a whole review of it with photos to prove its efficiency. We love this duo because it allows us to keep one at home and take one on-the-go, so we can head out the door before spritzing it on our face.

Tom Ford Eye Quad & Mini Lip Color Set

Fall is around the color, and this lip and eye duo will be all the makeup you need to transition to chillier seasons. The ultra-pigmented eyeshadows give every skin tone a warm, sultry flush, while the mauve and burned red lipsticks bring a dose of sophistication to every complexion. The shadows go on smoothly and feel velvety on the skin, and the lipsticks are creamy and can last all day long. Trust us, it's worth the splurge.

Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lip Secrets Set

Charlotte Tilbury

Shop it! $68 ($91 value), nordstrom.com

Best skincare deals from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale:

Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant

Paula's Choice

Shop it! $39 ($59 value), nordstrom.com

If you're looking for a skincare product that will give you even skin texture overnight, look no further. This product uses 2% salicylic acid, which decongests pores of dead skin cell buildup on the surface level and then goes into the pores to clean up any harvesting bacteria. This helps treat existing acne and prevent future blemishes while also correcting skin texture. One HG writer even said that using this liquid exfoliant helped her self-esteem skyrocket—that's how good it is.

Kiehl's Day-to-Night Hydration Duo
