If you’re searching for a new serum to refresh your spring skincare routine, this is it.

Best Makeup Products
Rhode Pocket Blush
Has Rhode permanently brought back the blush stick? It makes a compelling case for keeping a creamy, solid pigment handy. Available in six shades—Toasted Teddy for a bronzed glow and Sleepy Girl for a soft mauve are fan favorites—Hailey Bieber’s blush delivers modern, versatile pigments for eyes, lips, and cheeks that blend effortlessly. I’ve been hooked since day one. —Kiana Murden, senior beauty shopping writer
Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Lift & Flex Concealer
I’ve always admired Danessa Myricks (the artist and the brand), but I became a true fan after watching makeup artist Sir John use her products backstage at Sergio Hudson’s FW24 show. Watching him flawlessly blend pigments into a natural, skin-like finish inspired me to try the entire Myricks line. The newest release, however, has stolen my heart. On different days, I switch between hydrating and blurring concealers, but Yummy Skin Lift & Flex combines the best of both. When applied with a brush, sponge, or fingers, this lightweight concealer delivers medium-to-full coverage with a natural finish. Additionally, caffeine, centella asiatica, and plant extracts boost skin hydration and reduce puffiness for a healthier-looking complexion over time. —Kiana Murden, senior beauty shopping writer

Lately, I’ve been skipping mascara and letting natural light accentuate my eyes. When I do wear it, the burgundy hue of Clinique’s popular Black Honey High Impact Mascara perfectly enhances my natural eye color instead of hiding it in shadow! —Arden Fanning Andrews, beauty editor at large
Merit Signature Lip
I’ll admit, when I first heard about Merit’s new lipstick, I wasn’t immediately curious. I’m a lip gloss devotee, so why try a matte lip? But after seeing makeup artist Yumi Lee apply it backstage at Diotima’s latest show, I was impressed by how comfortable it appeared—not dry, patchy, or stiff like other matte formulas I’ve tried. With samples of each shade, I gave it a try. I’m amazed at how light it feels, how modern the colors appear, and how nourished my lips stay even after wearing it all night. Merit, you’ve won me over! —Kiana Murden, senior beauty shopping writer

For me, the ideal lip product must be three things: hydrating, enjoyable to apply, and lightly tinted. Clarins’ lip oils meet every requirement, and I always keep one in my bag. Enriched with plant oils like organic sweetbriar and jojoba, it can even double as a nourishing lip mask. —Ranyechi Udemezue, associate beauty & wellness writer

Sabrina Carpenter’s favorite makeup artist recently worked her magic on me. Beyond giving my blush a flawless finish, her collaboration with Velour lashes has made applying falsies effortless—even with my shaky hands. No more messy lash glue! I curl my lashes, swipe on a light coat of mascara, then apply two clusters to the outer corner of my eye, underneath my natural lashes. With a gentle pinch using tweezers or an applicator, they stay perfectly in place all day, looking completely natural. —Concetta Ciarlo, beauty commerce writer
Refy Lip Sculpt
Call me the queen of controversial beauty picks, because I’m drawn to products that spark strong reactions online. First up: there’s no lip liner I adore more than Refy’s Lip Sculpt. I’ve worn it through long workdays, messy pasta dinners, and multiple glasses of water. Instead of disappearing completely, it gradually fades—even after heavy testing. —Concetta Ciarlo, beauty commerce writer
Chanel Sublimage Le Correcteur Yeux

Makeup By Mario SurrealSkin 16HR Soft Setting Spray
One of the perks (and occasional frustrations) of being on a beauty team is encountering an endless array of products. Sometimes it takes effort to find the true standouts. Mario Dedivanovic’s setting spray is definitely one of those gems. The mist is so fine it feels like a gentle ocean breeze, keeping my makeup looking fresh from the moment I apply it to my nighttime skincare routine. —Morgan Fargo, beauty & wellness editor
Pat McGrath Labs Dramatique Mega Lip Pencil
Backstage at Vogue World Paris, Pat McGrath’s makeup artistry was pure spectacle—but it was this lip pencil, shade personally chosen for me by McGrath, that made the biggest impact.

A true must-have. —Jessica Diner, European beauty and wellness director.
