Best Invisible Lip Liner

Du Wop Reverse Lipliner, $19
This colorless matte pencil, used around the edges of lips, helped prevent lipstick from bleeding. It contains plumping ingredients that had one tester enthusiastically stating, “My mouth appeared fuller.”

Best Highlighter

Benefit Mr. Frosty, $18
When applied to the inner corners of eyes, this pearly white pencil, said one tester, “made me look bright-eyed, like I got eight hours of sleep.” Easy to blend, it can also be used under the brow bones and on the tops of the cheekbones.

Best Makeup Eraser

Shiseido The Makeup Eraser Pencil, $16
Mascara smudges and shadow slipups were no match for this. “After a few strokes, the mistake was gone and the rest of my eye makeup was still intact,” said a tester. It’s safe for lips and cheeks, too.
