The red lipstick that will make all your other red lipsticks jealous. We haven’t seen a red quite like Burlesque before—this metallic shade is formulated with a perfected blend of undertones that make it universally flattering on all skin tones, and the creamy texture features a swirl of grit-free glitter that makes your lips pop.
One person described this product as “dewy bits of heaven on your face,” and that’s all we needed to hear to know we needed to have it. Apply this highlighting primer after your skincare and before your makeup to create the perfect luminous base, or skip the makeup altogether and wear it alone for a stunning no-makeup makeup look. Your complexion future? It’s looking bright.
Luscious. Velvety. Soft. Yup, those all describe the texture of this cleanser—but also how your skin will feel after you use it. This nourishing cream-to-foam cleanser removes impurities and makeup in one simple step (no need for a double cleanse here) while also being gentle on stressed skin. The secret’s in the formula: Greek yogurt is packed with collagen-boosting protein, balancing probiotics, vitamins, and minerals; amaranth seed extract is rich in fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants to help protect your skin from free radicals; and mineral-rich sea water helps to minimize the appearance of pores and lock in hydration.
Makeup with skincare is one of the best combos ever (like ever ever), so this pick from KOSAS is a dream come true. It combines an ideal ratio of mineral pigment with six active botanical oils that include moisturizing avocado oil, plumping meadowfoam oil, reparative red raspberry oil, soothing jojoba oil, nourishing camellia seed oil, and brightening rosehip seed oil. Don’t usually wear foundation? Then this lightweight, serum-like texture was made for you, as it achieves a your-skin-but-better look while staying comfortable on your skin.
If you’re searching for ways to make your beauty routine more sustainable, be sure to add these machine-washable, dual-sided cloths to your Glam Bag Plus. One side of the cloth gently scrubs makeup and grime from your skin; the other exfoliates to reveal fresher, glowier skin underneath. Just add warm water to wet the cloth, then gently rub your skin in circular motions—no cleanser, makeup remover, or cotton pads needed.
FARSÁLI has gone and done it again by creating another genius primer, and we can’t say we’re surprised. This hybrid primer-serum can really do it all, from creating a smooth canvas for your makeup to adding a soft-focus touch to your look to being used on its own as skincare. It contains vitamin C to brighten, mushroom-derived poria cocos to soothe, and cucumber extract to condition, so your complexion reaps major skincare benefits while you get to look more flawless than ever.
Your a.m. coffee has some competition. Meet your new morning perk-me-up: This ultra-cooling, frothy foam primer from ORIGINS. Dispense a pump or two, then smooth the refreshing formula over your skin before makeup to make your pores look tighter and your skin look more glowy. We can’t guarantee it’ll make you a morning person, but it will start your day off right.
As much as we love our liquid lipsticks, lipsticks, and lip oils, sometimes simple is the best route—and that’s why this staple from JULES SMITH BEAUTY is a must-get for us this month. This super-shiny, non-sticky gloss was inspired by the clear quartz gemstone, which is thought to boost compassion, dissolve anger, and reduce emotional stress (and what more could you really want?). This formula also contains vitamins A and E to keep hydration locked in, making it an all-around lip product you’ll want to keep with you 24/7.
