Got2B Glued Styling Spiking Hair Gel
I've been using Got2B Glued gel for my brows for years. It keeps them in place all day, though you need to ensure your brows are clean to avoid flaking.

The Elf Putty Bronzer rivals high-end bronzers, though I wish the pan was larger for easier application. It gives a beautiful bronzed glow.

The Milani Blush in Dolce Pink is luminous and blurring, one of the best drugstore blush formulas I've tried. It doesn't emphasize pores or texture.
