The latest cosmetics that I’ve been genuinely impressed by the gradual effects of this serum. After seeing the clinical trial outcomes during its launch (collagen support, lifted cheeks and jawline, and a more hydrated, plump-looking complexion), I committed to applying it morning and night. One month later, I can confirm it delivers on all those claims. If you’re searching for a new serum to refresh your spring skin-care lineup, this is the one. —Jessica Diner, European beauty and wellness director

Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Oil
The latest cosmetics that I’d confidently say Sulwhasoo’s Gentle Cleansing Oil is my top facial cleanser ever. Suitable for every skin type from oily to dry, it melts into a plush oil and then transforms into a soft foam that sweeps away impurities with ease. It’s brilliant as a makeup remover or the first step in a double cleanse, leaving skin feeling supple and nourished each time. —Kiana Murden, senior beauty shopping writer.

Chanel N°1 de Chanel Cream
I recently had my very first laser session and this was the cream that healed me from the edge of flaky chaos. Infused with red camellia extract, camellia japonica flower water, and shea butter, it feels featherlight and refreshing—as if nothing is on the skin by The latest cosmetics—yet it intensely soothes and replenishes. Truly, the best of both worlds. —Margaux Anbouba, senior beauty and wellness editor

La Prairie Skin Caviar The Mist
Don’t underestimate the power of facial mists—especially one as effective as La Prairie’s. Encased in a vanity-worthy cobalt bottle is a prized potion designed to instantly energize and refine skin. Enriched with the brand’s Caviar Hydroessence and Micro-Nutrients, it dispenses as a delicate, balanced mist that evenly coats the face—leaving it soft and revived. The bonus? Skin doesn’t look greasy, just luminous, smooth, and healthy. I reach for it at every stage—before sleep, as a toner ahead of serums and creams, or as a quick refresh during the day.

Ilia’s face milk is always in my line-up—light in texture and perfect for delicate skin, it’s enriched with skin barrier boosters like ceramides, beta-glucan, magnesium, zinc, and copper. —Kiana Murden, senior beauty shopping writer

Tatcha The Silk Sunscreen SPF 50
This petite travel-size of Tatcha’s Silk Sunscreen is exactly what I’m reaching for this summer!

Rhode Pocket Blush
Did Rhode just revive the blush stick for good? It’s certainly making a strong argument for carrying a creamy pigment-on-the-go. Coming in six shades—Toasted Teddy for bronzy warmth and Sleepy Girl for a soft mauve are standouts—Hailey Bieber’s blush stick offers versatile color for lips, eyes, and cheeks that blends seamlessly. I’ve been hooked from the very beginning. —Kiana Murden, senior beauty shopping writer

Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Lift & Flex Concealer
I’ve admired Danessa Myricks (both the artist and her brand) for years, but my loyalty grew after watching fellow makeup artist Sir John use her products backstage at Sergio Hudson’s FW24 show. The way he effortlessly transformed models’ faces with layered pigments into a luminous, natural-looking finish pushed me to explore her entire range. Still, her newest concealer launch has me smitten. Depending on the day, I toggle between formulas for hydration or blurring, but Yummy Skin Lift & Flex combines both. Applied with a brush, sponge, or fingers, this airy concealer delivers medium-to-full coverage with a second-skin effect. Plus, ingredients like caffeine, centella asiatica, and plant extracts boost hydration while easing puffiness—enhancing skin’s appearance over time. —Kiana Murden, senior beauty shopping writer

Westman Atelier Face Trace Contour Stick
One of my biggest beauty frustrations is overly warm contour sticks that basically act like bronzers. The answer for me has been Westman Atelier’s contour stick in Biscuit—thanks to its cool-toned base that truly mimics natural facial shadows. —Concetta Ciarlo, beauty commerce writer

Clinique Black Honey High Impact Mascara
Lately, I’ve been skipping mascara altogether and letting the light fully catch my eyes. On the days I do apply it, the burgundy hue of Clinique’s viral Black Honey High Impact Mascara is just right—it enhances my eye color instead of hiding it behind darkness. —Arden Fanning Andrews, beauty editor at large

Merit Signature Lip
I’ll confess: when I first heard about Merit’s new lipstick, I wasn’t exactly excited. I’ve always been a lip gloss devotee, so why would I care about a matte formula? But after watching makeup artist Yumi Lee swipe it across models’ lips backstage at Diotima’s recent show, I was struck by how soft and comfortable it looked. No dryness, no patchiness, no stiffness—the opposite of what I expected from a matte lip. With samples of every shade in hand, I gave it a try. Honestly, I’m blown away by how featherlight it feels, how fresh the colors appear, and how conditioned my lips stay even after hours of wear. Merit, I’m officially converted! —Kiana Murden, senior beauty shopping writer

Clarins Lip Comfort Oil
To me, the ultimate lip product must do three things: moisturize, feel enjoyable to use, and deliver a hint of color. Clarins’ lip oils check every requirement, and I never leave home without slipping one into my bag. Infused with botanical oils like organic sweetbriar and jojoba, it even doubles as a conditioning overnight lip mask. —Ranyechi Udemezue, associate beauty & wellness writer

Velour x CGonzalez Beauty Self-Stick Lash Clusters
Sabrina Carpenter’s go-to makeup artist recently worked her magic on me. Beyond giving me the best blush of my life, her lash collab with Velour has completely simplified falsies (even for someone with unsteady hands). Farewell messy lash glue—you’re no longer needed! I curl my natural lashes, add a light coat of mascara, then tuck two clusters onto the outer corners underneath my lashes. With a quick squeeze from tweezers or a lash tool, they stay locked in all day and look flawlessly natural. —Concetta Ciarlo, beauty commerce writer

Refy Lip Sculpt
Call me the queen of controversial beauty takes, because I’m always drawn to products that spark a strong reaction online. Case in point: there isn’t a lip liner I adore more than Refy’s Lip Sculpt. I’ve worn it through marathon workdays, sloppy bowls of pasta, and countless glasses of water. Instead of vanishing completely, it softens gradually—and that’s after serious wear tests. —Concetta Ciarlo, beauty commerce writer.
