• Fenty Mini Invisimatte Instant Setting + Blotting Powder

  1/20

  Fenty Mini Invisimatte Instant Setting + Blotting Powder

  Rihanna is a girl’s girl. How do I know this? She created a blotting powder compact that actually fits into our teeny-tiny going-out bags. As an oily-skin gal, I’ve been a fan of the Invisimatte setting powder ever since I saw Rih whip it out during the Super Bowl halftime show. It instantly removes oiliness and smoothes texture, but doesn’t leave your complexion looking flat or dull. During New York Fashion Week it was a godsend. –Ariana Yaptangco, senior beauty editor

• Fully Green Tomato Pore Detox Clay Mask Cleanser

  2/20

  FULLY Green Tomato Pore Detox Clay Mask Cleanser

  This is one of the top-selling cleansers in Korea, and since I’m K-beauty obsessed, I had to give it a try. The formula is really rich and works into a nice lather, which I love. The power-combo ingredients of clay and green tomato make your skin feel squeaky clean (literally like a polished table) but don’t totally strip your face of moisture. I use it on days when I wear heavier makeup and want my skin to breathe. —A.Y.

• Innbeauty Project Recharge Gel Cream Smoothing & Plumping Moisturizer

  3/20

  INNBEAUTY Project Recharge Gel Cream Smoothing & Plumping Moisturizer

  Out of all the moisturizers I’ve tried, this is the one that gave me immediate effects just minutes after application. It has a creamy, gel texture that absorbs into skin quickly and is completely noncomedogenic, which makes it a great fit for those who have acne (cough, me). I used this right after getting back from a Euro trip when my skin was insanely dry from the plane. It immediately plumped and softened my face for silky-smooth skin. —Alanna Martine Kilkeary, commerce writer

• Glossier Cloud Paint Plush Blush in Gale

  4/20

  Glossier Cloud Paint Plush Blush in ‘Gale’

  Toasty-girl makeup has been my new favorite trend this fall, and this peachy-brown blush is the perfect product to get the look. I’ve found myself reaching for this one over the past few weeks for the ultimate warm-toned look, and I love how well it compliments my olive skin. Better yet, the powder formula is long-lasting and doesn’t budge one bit throughout the day—I wore this traveling around Italy for over a week and never had to reapply. —A.M.K.

• Hung Vanngo Beauty Creamy Matte Longwear Lipstick

  5/20

  Hung Vanngo Beauty Creamy Matte Longwear Lipstick

  If you know me, you know I love a brown lipstick. This one has been my new go-to as of late: It’s a peachy-brown nude that looks glorious on its own or layered on top of a dark brown lip liner. The pigment is creamy, lasts forever, and compliments an eye-liner wing or moody eye shadow. No matter my makeup mood, it satisfies all my fall beauty cravings! —A.M.K.

• Coterie Soft Cream

  PSA: Coterie, a brand beloved by parents for their luxe diapers, now makes skin care too. The baby-safe Soft Cream daily moisturizer is dermatologist tested, hypoallergenic, fragrance free, pH balanced, and super hydrating. I’ve been applying it to my toddlers nightly after their bath, but I’ve noticed my own hands are feeling softer as a result. —Anna Moeslein, deputy editor

• Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Fall Hand Soap Set

  7/20

  Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Fall Hand Soap Set

  For a certain pocket of the internet, a seasonal limited-edition scent drop from Mrs. Meyer’s is a Very Big Deal. I’m especially excited by this fall’s lineup, which includes Acorn Spice, Fall Leaves, Apple Cider, and Elderberry. Elderberry in particular has a rich, floral scent that is a nice change of pace from the usual pumpkin-spice everything that typically hits shelves this time of year. —A.M.

• Birkenstock Relaxing Hand & Body Lotion

  8/20

  Birkenstock Relaxing Hand & Body Lotion

  Did you know that Birkenstock—yes, like the sandals—does skin care too? I love my Arizonas as much as the next girl, so I was willing to give it a try. And I love it. Made with organic jojoba oil and botanical hyaluron, the lotion has an amazing hand-feel—no greasy residue or stickiness. The smell is also intoxicating; with notes of cedarwood, juniper, thyme, and rosemary, it reminds me fondly of times spent in rural Maine and upstate New York. Now I keep a bottle at my desk and find myself applying several times throughout the day just to get another whiff. —A.M.

• Dr. Althea 345 Cream Mist

  9/20

  Dr. Althea 345 Cream Mist

  K-beauty enthusiasts are already familiar with Dr. Althea’s viral 345 Relief Cream, popular for its silky, lightweight finish and soothing effect. I wasn’t expecting to see it transformed into a dual-layer face mist, but now that I’ve tried it, I might like it even more than the original moisturizer. The “cream” layer looks like a milk toner and contains hydrators like hyaluronic acid, panthenol, and rice-bran water. The clear portion is packed with aloe and Centella asiatica. Once I shake them up, I get all the calming and moisturizing benefits of the cream in the most lightweight format possible. I also love the spray bottle, which dispenses a superfine mist and makes application incredibly easy. And yes, I definitely layer them together because you can never have enough 345 Relief. —Sarah Y. Wu, contributor

• Shark Glossi 2-in-1 Hot Tool

  10/20

  Shark Glossi 2-in-1 Hot Tool

  I’ll happily spend an hour on skin care and makeup, but I always want to spend the least amount of time and effort possible on my hair. The key is Shark’s new 2-in-1 Hot Tool and Air Glosser, which bundles a round brush, hot tool, and air styler into one lightweight device. It monitors temperatures as you use it to prevent heat damage and leaves the type of impressively glossy finish I usually only get from a salon blowout. Most importantly, it works fast, so I can get on with the rest of my routine. —S.Y.W.

• The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Milk & Jelly Double Foaming Cleanser

  11/20

  The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Milk & Jelly Double Foaming Cleanser

  We’ve come a long way from the days of two-in-one formulas that don’t perform either function well. This dual-phase Korean cleanser from The Face Shop went straight to my shower after one test. The tube contains two chambers: one makeup-melting milk paired with a refreshing gel cleanser. You squeeze them out together and apply at the same time. It’s not meant to erase your waterproof mascara and eyeliner, but it’s perfect for rinsing off light makeup and sunscreen when your regular daily cleanser isn’t quite cutting it. —S.Y.W.

• Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Foundation

  

  12/20

  Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Foundation

  Great foundations that don’t feel like foundation are hard to find, but Charlotte Tilbury’s newest formula does just that. Waterproof, long-wear and light, the Airbrush formula offers full coverage without feeling heavy. It’s also super blendable. There are over 40 shades to choose from, and for someone like me who has pale skin, it blends seamlessly into my skin without looking obvious. —Jessica Radloff, senior West Coast editor

• Evolvetogether Restorative Hand Wash

  13/20

  Evolvetogether Restorative Hand Wash

  As we transition into fall, I’m always looking for a superb liquid hand cleanser that doesn’t dry out my hands and smells good. While Evolvetogether’s newest launch is on the pricier side, I can say their hand wash is worth it. One, it effectively cleanses without stripping my skin of moisture. It lathers great, and one pump is all I need to achieve a long-lasting wash. Betaine and glycerin work to support the skin barrier, while antioxidants soothe any existing irritation. Then there are the gorgeous four signature scents to choose from in a beautiful handcrafted glass design that will elevate your kitchen sink or bathroom. There are also refillable packets so you never have to recycle your glass bottle. —J.R.

• Davines OI Soufflé Bodifying Foam

  14/20

  OI Soufflé Bodifying Foam

  This has become my holy-grail hairstyling product in a matter of weeks. I usually don’t like to load up my straight, fine hair with products when it’s clean, but the OI Soufflé formula is super lightweight and doesn’t make my hair feel weighed down. Two pumps in towel-dried hair has made a world of difference no matter what I’m doing with it. It’s a great first step to a full blowout, but I’m most impressed by the difference it makes when I’m just washing and rough-drying my hair before bed. Instead of flatness and awkward pillow crimps, I wake up with so much body and layers that look like they’ve just been styled. —Grace McCarty, associate beauty editor

• ’Spresso Energizing Eye Balm

  15/20

  TULA ‘Spresso Energizing Eye Balm

  The new ’Spresso eye balms from Tula have been the MVPs of my five-minute morning-makeup routine. The warm, bronzy Americano shade perfectly fits the “toasty makeup” vibe that everyone’s obsessed with right now, and the subtle shimmer elevates my whole makeup look in three seconds. What I love most is the sensory component of this product: the light, cooling tingle that develops after you swipe the balm over your lids genuinely makes me feel more awake and refreshed, and it’s a step I look forward to in my routine every morning. —G.M.

• Osea Hyaluronic Body Serum

  16/20

  OSEA Hyaluronic Body Serum

  It may be September, but it definitely still feels like summer on my sticky commute, and I hate the clingy feeling of body lotion when I’m trying to get dressed and out the door. This body serum has been a game changer for my morning showers. It’s so lightweight and absorbs almost instantly, while locking in serious moisture. It leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated all day long. I find it completely sufficient on its own in a pinch, but it also helps maximize heavier-duty body lotions when paired as a first step. Plus, it’s super luxe- feeling: The glass bottle, subtle ocean-fresh scent, and green color adds a little spa-like luxury to my routine. —G.M.

• Westman Atelier Vital Skincare Complexion Drops

  17/20

  Westman Atelier Vital Skincare Complexion Drops

  I was late to the game on this one! These drops create a thin veil of coverage that evens out redness and even a dark undereye. It mixes well with the brand’s concealer, and it’s super easy to layer. Don’t be afraid of it being too oily: You’re left with a subtle dew that will have everyone asking why your skin looks so good! I love that it plays well with other products, whether it’s a cream or powder blush or bronzer. I’m excited to use it in cooler temperatures—I’m confident it will keep winter’s dry skin at bay. —Samantha Gasmer, associate fashion editor

• UKLash Tubing Mascara

  18/20

  UKLash Tubing Mascara

  UKLash recently launched a tubing mascara in brown and black shades, and it has been a game changer for my sensitive eyes. The small bristles gently add product to my small lashes, and the tubing formula is great at elongating individual lashes. The result is a gorgeous, volumizing lift to my tiny lashes, and at night I can easily remove it without irritating my eyes. —Jenifer Calle, senior commerce editor

• Chris McMillan The Glassy Smooth Blowdry Spray

  19/20

  Chris McMillan The Glassy Smooth Blowdry Spray for Frizz

  I love a good at-home blowout, and I’ve experimented with a few blow-dry sprays but keep coming back to this one. I like how silky and soft it makes my hair feel, plus the straight-out-of-the-salon smell of the product. I have naturally curly hair, so this works wonders to maintain my frizz. —Falak Khoja, designer

• Sephora Collection Lift & Firm Plumping Lip Balm Serum

  20/20

  Sephora Collection Lift & Firm Plumping Lip Balm Serum

  I needed a great everyday lip balm, and with this one, I actually noticed a change to the texture of my lips. With repeated use, my skin became very soft and noticeably more hydrated. I also love putting some on before I do my makeup as a primer for lipstick or lip gloss. It doesn’t have plumping ingredients, but for me the hydration boost makes my lips look and feel fuller. —F.K.
