An average rating of at least four stars is as good as gold on Amazon. It's a pretty safe bet that products with this seal of approval from customers are the real deal. So when it comes to trying out new makeup products, a great place to start is Amazon's list of customer-loved items (all of which have a minimum overall rating of four stars). That is, unless you have the time and money to test every mascara, eyeliner, foundation, and eyeshadow palette on the market.
There are thousands of highly rated beauty products on Amazon, but when you narrow down your search to strictly makeup, you're left with 820 standouts. The selection is vast, so we took the liberty of parsing this treasure trove of concealers, lipsticks, and fake eyelashes for the best of the best. In the end, we came up with eight fan favorites.
