My friends joke that your wedding should be your prettiest day ever. Mine, oddly enough, was the day I gave birth to my son. Sure, my newborn was cute, but my skin never looked so radiant and supple -- and everyone on Facebook agreed.

Though it's tough for makeup to top the beauty benefits of new-mom hormones, Josie Maran Vibrancy Foundation Fluid, $45, comes strikingly close. Infused with argan oil, this foundation is like a magical elixir for dry, sensitive skin. In fact, I might even call it the glow-inducing foundation of my dreams.

When I first pumped out this foundation, I noticed that it's incredibly runny. There was no way this serum-like fluid could possibly cover my redness and sun spots -- and yet it does. It goes on wet, but give it a second to absorb, and I'm left with a beautiful, dewy finish. Every time I wear it, my husband tells me how radiant my skin looks. He even asked if I might be pregnant.

Josie Maran Vibrancy Foundation has major skin-care benefits, too, thanks to a slew of antioxidant-rich ingredients that nourish and soothe dry, irritable skin, wipe out redness and, best of all, make skin otherworldly luminous -- no pregnancy hormones required.

In the words of my grandmother, "You're not really dressed until you put on a little lipstick and blush." I hear this statement in my head every time I leave the house. It's true; blush really does give you a pick-me-up that makes you look healthy and vibrant. While some people have their signature shade of blush, I like my cherubic hue to coordinate with my outfit or my mood.

Enter: Makeup Revolution Blush Palette, in Blush Goddess, $10 -- my new favorite customizable blush palette. For less than two lattes, you get eight shades of blush. The colors tend to be on the warmer side (which I prefer, because they pair phenomenally with my bronzer). The palette contains four blushes with a satin finish and four metallic shades -- all of which can be blended to create your own one-of-a-kind glow. The buildable powder formula allows me to add a tiny pop of color to the apples of my cheeks or fake that I-just-worked-out flush. The shimmery shades are great for adding highlight and dimension to cheekbones, brows, the Cupid's bow -- basically anywhere you want to accentuate.

Thanks to Makeup Revolution, I never have to worry about leaving the house with a ghostly complexion. My grandmother would definitely approve. --Hannah Savin

There are not many things I really need in this life besides friends, peanut butter and under-eye concealer.

Though I'm only in my 20s, I carry some heavy baggage beneath my eyes thanks to my twice-a-day fitness training, hectic work schedule, schoolwork and past-midnight bedtime. Needless to say, all that hustle demands a concealer that works as hard as I do. Though there are many that come close, it wasn't until I picked up Kat Von D Lock-It Concealer Creme, $26, that I would come to believe in under-eye miracles.

Concealers usually flop in one of three areas: The consistency is too thin -- resulting in minimal coverage; the shade isn't quite right, which makes discoloration worse; or the texture is too creamy, causing it to settle into fine lines (thus presenting a whole new set of under-eye problems). Kat Von D's concealer gets everything so right, you can't help but wonder how others get it wrong.

This full-coverage concealer is thick enough to masks all signs of dark circles and late nights -- but still manages to be ultrablendable. It melts into skin seamlessly and doesn't settle into fine lines or crease -- ever. As for the shade selection? Kat Von D Lock-It Concealer Creme has 21 colors to choose from, so you're pretty much guaranteed to find your perfect match (Go one- to two shades lighter for your under-eye).

When you test no fewer than 40 lipsticks/mascaras/foundations in a month for your annual Total Beauty Awards), your standards become much higher. Still, I can without a doubt say that this is the concealer that I will use for the rest of my life. (I guess you could say Kat "locked" me in.) -- Jessica Amaris

Whenever I see, hear or read about makeup primer, I think about beauty editor Allie Flinn. See how great her makeup looks here? Would it surprise you if I said Allie looks that great every day? Because I will, and she does -- she looks like a literal angel, because angels have perfect eyeliner and cheekbone highlighter. Allie is a makeup wizard. She's also a big believer in primer. In spite of the fact that Allie gave me at least one impassioned speech on the absolute necessity of primer, and in spite of the fact that her face looks airbrushed by God, she could never convince me to wear it. I hated the way primers pilled on my skin -- definitely not worth the extra step.

All that changed when I tried Hourglass Ambient Light Correcting Primer, $44, in Luminous Light. This is the product I've been waiting for throughout years and years of trying every tinted moisturizer, luminizer and primer. It's sort of a hybrid of all three -- a skin-illuminating, barely tinted primer that makes my skin look healthy and alive, makes dark spots disappear, and makes my makeup last and last and last. And it never pills or clumps. When I don't wear it, I feel naked and wrong. When I do wear it, I look almost as angelic as Allie does. --Katie McCarthy

Even though it's April, it still feels like winter in NYC (hopefully by the time you read this, that's no longer true). However, I'm dressing for spring -- cold weather be damned -- and my over-exposed skin is suffering. My hands, in particular, look even worse than they did in February -- that is, until I started applying Lano Rose Hand Cream Intense, $15, regularly.

First of all, I love everything about this lanolin-centric brand. It was started by an amazing woman in Australia whose grandparents owned a sheep farm, and the wool-derived lanolin is cruelty free, ultra pure and medical grade. When I was first introduced to the hand cream, I figured it would be wildly moisturizing but also kind of greasy -- like lanolin. However, she somehow managed to remove the greasy feel but keep all the hydration. It has a pretty powdery finish that makes getting right back to typing or scrolling through Instagram a breeze. It's also infused with rose oil, which makes it smell fantastic, and I find the pink tube to be quietly chic (and not too "millennial pink").

My hands (and nails!) are much improved, even if the thermostat is not. --Dawn Davis
