It's 2019, and both beauty and fashion feel like a united front. If our beauty vibe feels off, so too does our outfit—and vice versa. Therefore, it's not all too surprising we're becoming increasingly aware of how our beauty and fashion M.O.s influence one another.

Or in my personal case, how certain random beauty products instantly make me feel way more put-together and on point for whatever the day has in store. On separate occasions, I've found both matte, brick red lipstick and glitter-gilded lids to play well with my collection of leather (be it booties, skirts, or jackets), and even my favorite pair of jeans have less pep in their step when I don't have shimmering, healthy strands cascading down toward them. Am I making sense?

After consulting with my roomie and fellow beauty editor here at Who What Wear, Amanda Montell, we came to the unanimous conclusion that there are certain beauty-enhancing staples in our overwhelming product hoard that have proven to be just as outfit-enhancing, so we thought we'd share all of our data. Ahead, see 18 products that instantly enhance our beauty and fashion game.

Erin has been writing a mix of beauty and wellness content for Who What Wear for over four years. Prior to that, she spent two and half years writing for Byrdie. She now calls Santa Monica home but grew up in Minnetonka, Minnesota, and studied writing, rhetoric, and communication at University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. She studied abroad in Galway, Ireland, and spent a summer in L.A. interning with the Byrdie and Who What Wear family. After graduating from UW, she spent one year in San Francisco, where she worked as a writer for Pottery Barn Kids and PBteen before moving down to L.A. to begin her career as a beauty editor. She considers her day-to-day beauty aesthetic very low-maintenance and relies on staples like clear brow serum (from Kimiko!), Lawless's Lip Plumping Mask in Cherry Vanilla, and an eyelash curler. For special occasions or days when she's taking more meetings or has an event, she'll wear anything and everything from Charlotte Tilbury (the foundations are game-changing), some shimmer on her lids (Stila and Róen do it best), and a few coats of the best mascara-type product on earth, Surratt's Noir Lash Tint.
