This matte eyeshadow palette features six neutrals in warm and cool tones, suitable for both day and night-time wear. The palette comes in three shades: light, medium, and dark for $44.
Huda Beauty
One of the best setting powders in the market, but make it better. The Huda Beauty Easy Bake Loose Powder now comes in a duo. This new feature consists of two shades in one, designed to brighten, color-correct, and set the face all at the same time. The loose powder is flashback-free and helps to mattify the face for up to 18 hours. Available in 2 shades, Cherry Peach and Pink Pumpkin, for $39.
Natasha Denona
The new Natasha Denona Hy-Glam Serum Foundation is a long-wear, hydrating, but blurring and luminous foundation—that retails for $52. Offered in 34 shades, this foundation is formulated using Korean technology that delivers a creaseless, luminous finish while blurring any imperfections. It is also made with skin-loving ingredients such as jasmine mother cells, which fight hyperpigmentation over time, boost antioxidants, and brighten the skin.
Sol De Janerio
Whether you want to keep all the mists for yourself or split them among gifts, the Sol De Janerio Spritz the Season Cheirosa Perfume Mist Gift Set, retailing $39, is the perfect gift set for any fragrance lover. The set features five of the brand’s best-selling scents, which can be worn solo or layered for the ultimate long-lasting scent.
Saie
The Saie Slip Tint Undetectable Baked Setting Powder is a newly launched translucent powder that hydrates the skin. It uses hyaluronic acid and squalane, that absorbes excess oil without it becoming cakey, settling into fine lines and pores, or emphasizing textures. Meant for all skin types, this powder comes in five shades for $32.
Merit
What’s better than one blush? Three of them. Merit recently launched The Mini Flush Blush Balm Trio, retailing at $39. The blush set features three gorgeous shades, including Postmodern, Le Bonbon, and—a new, limited-edition shade—Redux. These balms leave the right amount of flush to the skin without becoming too heavy. This set is ideal for individuals who want to explore more shades in an excellent formula.
Kosas
Who doesn’t love a 2-in-1 product? Kosas recently launched their Soulgazer Lengthening Mascara + Lash Serum for $28. This mascara lengthens the lashes without clumping. It features a lash-boosting peptide serum that visibly grows your lashes in six to eight weeks. In a clinical study of 34 women, 97% experienced visibly fuller lashes, while 60% noticed a remarkable increase in lash length on bare lashes.
Danessa Myricks Beauty
Danessa Myricks’ Yummy Skin Liquid Blurring Balm Mattifying Setting Spray, retailing $36, is a weightless blurring setting spray that sets makeup and blurs any texture. This unique formula is the first setting spray on the market that can be used like a powder. It can be sprayed or applied with a puff, brush, or sponge to achieve a soft-focus, matte finish that blurs imperfections without drying out the skin.
Glossier
The Cloud Paint Plush Blush from Glossier is a cutting-edge formula with a soft, pillowy texture and pigmented, buildable coverage. Available in ten stunning sunset-inspired shades for $26. This blush has a soft-matte finish that blurs the look of pores while feeling lightweight and breathable.
