“Makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic struck gold when he first released the Ethereal Eyes Eyeshadow Palette—it sold out again, and again, and again. It’s finally back for good. I use it every single day because it’s kind of the only eyeshadow palette I need. I reach for cool taupe and soft, matte neutrals during the day for a little definition, but I also tap on shimmers and glitters for a veil of sparkle. At night, I go a little heavier with the shimmers and the deep brown and mauve shades for a smokier effect.” —Jenna Rosenstein, beauty director
“I keep getting compliments on how shiny my hair looks, and the only thing I’ve changed in my routine is using the new Hydra Gloss line from Suave. It’s so cheap—$5 a piece—and smells insanely good. Floral, but not overly synthetic or sweet. I’ve always been the biggest advocate for drugstore haircare, and these products prove why.” —JR
“I love any beauty product that makes me stop and go, ‘Hey, that’s cool.’ This serum comes out of the bottle in a plush, bubbly foam—not unlike a cleanser. The unique texture melts into the skin, delivering instant brightening, toning, and hydration. But honestly? It’s just plain fun to use.” —JR
“One pump of this milky treatment goes a long way, and is enough to hydrate my entire face and neck. It’s the perfect addition to my daily routine, since it preps my skin for makeup while reducing redness and boosting hydration. Plus, Neuraé’s signature soothing Harmonie scent helps keep my nervous system calm as I use it.” —Tiffany Dodson Davis, beauty commerce editor
“This moisturizer from Tata Harper is pure luxury in a jar. Not only does its fresh, spa-level scent smell absolutely divine, but the hydrator’s lightweight texture is extremely silky and melts into my skin like butter.” —TDD
“I officially have a new favorite concealer thanks to Patrick Ta. The celebrity artist’s Major Skin Soft Blur Brightening Hydrating Concealer not only provides a skin-like finish but is also lightweight, leaving behind high coverage. Once I let it sit under my eyes for around a minute and buff it out, I seamlessly benefit from the creamy concealer’s serious brightening impact.” —TDD
“I haven’t reevaluated my makeup wardrobe in years, and what it’s really been lacking is a lip liner. I recently got a little makeup lesson with Saie’s director of makeup artistry, Shain Kish, and he told me he’d save his lip liner and his dog if his house were on fire. The point is, it’s essential! And somehow I’ve been going without one? Don’t judge me. This one, in the shade Twist, goes on easily but imparts subtle color in the most natural, gorgeous mauve. Kish taught me to use the opposite end of the pencil to stamp the color in.” —Leah Chernikoff, executive editor
“Another ‘how did I get this far without this’ product, Saie’s illuminator is the kind of product I might have deemed extraneous before my makeup lesson. But under a tinted moisturizer or even just on its own after sunscreen, it provides the prettiest sheen.” —LC
“This leave-in spray doesn’t leave my hair heavy at all like most of its kind—instead, my hair is hydrated, silky, and smooth without any excess product weighing my tresses down, and application doesn’t get easier than a spray formula!” —Bianca Betancourt, culture editor
“If you’re looking for the perfect cool-toned, ’90s-esque, cocoa nude lip—this is it.” —BB
“Creamy, fresh, and floral, the latest scent from Bella Hadid’s Orebella perfume line is everything I want to ring in spring. It’s oil-based—rather than alcohol—also ensures that my skin stays hydrated even while opting for a daily scent.” —BB
“This is one of the most innovative body products I’ve ever tried. There’s something so tedious about moisturizing my entire body every night. But using this post-shower product has been the perfect solution. You apply it to wet skin as soon as you turn off the shower. It’s so easy, quick, and locks in moisture, leaving your skin hydrated and silky smooth. I love that it’s not a traditional body oil, so it doesn’t leave me feeling greasy or ruin my sheets! And, like all Cyklar products, it smells amazing.” —Olivia Alchek, senior designer
“This Prada lip balm is so luxurious—it’s hydrating and long-lasting. I get so many compliments on the subtle pink shade. The formula reacts to the pH of your lips to create the perfect color customized just for you. It’s a chic boost for that ‘your lips but better’ look.” —OA
“When it comes to my nails, I usually only hit the salon on special occasions. But a few weeks back, I really wanted something to lighten my spirits during the end-of-winter funk. I ended up trying some press-on nails from Kiss with 3D designs, and I was wonderfully surprised. They lasted almost four weeks, and I got constant compliments from people who thought I had gotten them professionally done. And with a price like that, that’s hard to beat.” —Joel Calfee, assistant editor
“It’s hard to find a wash day system that resets my hair without weighing it down, but this set from Iles Formula is like the goldilocks of shampoo and conditioner. The shampoo is a thin, watery texture but expertly cleans roots and stands in one wash; and while the conditioner is thick and hydrating, it doesn’t leave any residue in my hair.” —Katie Intner, beauty commerce and market editor
“I have a million lip glosses, but I have been reaching for this one from makeup artist Hung Vanngo the most as of late. The metal applicator makes it feel so luxe, and the emollient formula feels like a cushion on my lips. Bonus points for the gloss, as it’s shiny without being sticky and feels weightless.” —KI
“Is there anything better than a rosy pink blush for spring? This has been my go-to finishing touch lately. It’s so creamy and, as the name suggests, the perfect no-makeup makeup-y addition to every look.” —Sarah Olivieri, senior designer
“This was a new eye serum I started using in the fall, and quickly became a fan of the Damdam brand and eye serums (I had only really used creams before). It has a milkier texture since it’s a serum, so it goes on very smoothly and lightly (if you prefer a thicker cream, this is not it). I found it to be quite powerful and ultra-moisturizing, plus, I like that it comes in a small bottle that is perfect for carry-ons, without worry!” —Kristina Rutkowski, commerce editor
“I am obsessed with everything from Irene Forte, but the Hibiscus anti-aging serum is one of my particular favorites. I just finished a bottle and already ordered a replacement. The smell is amazing, and it feels so light to the touch while going on (not oily at all!), with great absorption. My skin looked so much brighter and luminous after the first week of use. I also like that the brand focuses on locally sourced ingredients from the Meditteranean, free from parabens, artificial preservatives, and all the bad stuff you don’t want in your skincare. It’s worth the investment!” —KR
“Silk presses are my protective style of choice, given how fine my curls are. The key to good press is a squeaky-clean scalp; a clarifying shampoo is essential to ensure all layers of heat protectant and styling oils are removed before my next appointment. Ouai’s Detox shampoo is infused with apple cider vinegar, which has been proven to be gentle yet effective at removing excess oil and dirt, and has become a go-to in my routine.” —Michella Oré, fashion commerce editor
