Best makeup sets with case under $25

Top pick: Miss Rose 58 Colors Professional Makeup Kit — the widest range here (39 eyeshadows plus blush and more), so it covers a full face in one box and has the strongest track record of the sets I found. Best if you want variety over portability.

Who the others suit:

• AOLIKOKO All-in-One Kit (27 eyeshadows) — a solid middle ground for everyday looks and gifting.
• KAVCENT All-in-One Kit — the best-rated of the bunch; good for a teen starting out.
• Justice Beauty in a Bag — a small, tidy starter set for a younger teen.
• FantasyDay All-in-one Set — the cheapest way to try a full kit.

One honest note: these are palettes and kits rather than hard-sided train cases — the only true case-and-makeup set I saw sits above your limit.
