As the weather begins to warm, we naturally start shedding layers of clothing. Bulky coats are hung up and stored, dresses start making a comeback, and shoulders get to see the light of day. In the same way you want to lighten up come spring and summer with your apparel, lighter skin care and beauty products somehow feel more seasonally appropriate. If you're keen on trying a new foundation, consider one of these new launches — they're all exceptionally lightweight.
Ever had a beauty product you love so much that you shook, hacked, scraped or squeezed its container until you were absolutely positive you had expended all of its precious contents?

So when our team of beauty mavens encounters a rave-worthy product, you know it's the real deal. Herewith, our editors rattle off their "beauty empties," aka the best beauty products that they can't help but use until the last drop. Read on for their best nail polishes, hair products, skin care products and makeup now.
Whether you're a no-makeup makeup kind of gal, a truly no-makeup gal, or someone who likes to go all-out, brows matter. While they may seem negligible — they're just hair, right? — brows anchor your face, impact the way your facial structure looks, and can even impact the way others perceive your mood and emotion. Trends have changed over the decades, but today we've settled into a healthy, natural-looking, not-too-groomed but still maintained look that flatters any face. These fresh brow launches can help you achieve precisely that.
The dog days of winter are here, and if you're anything like us, you're probably getting a little stir crazy from spending so much time indoors. Even if a beach getaway isn't in the cards this season, you can still look like you traveled somewhere warm with a faux tan. Self-tanner can admittedly be tricky to use, which is why our current obsession is self-tanning drops. All you have to do is mix a drop or two into your moisturizer for a streak-free golden glow that will have everyone wondering where in the world you just vacationed. Here, our favorite self-tanning drops to try this winter and beyond.
Makeup has come a long way in the last 10 years. We've learned how to strobe, highlight, blend and blot in ways we never thought of before, thanks in large part to makeup artists, drag queens and everyday people sharing their advice on social media platforms like Instagram and YouTube.
There are some beauty launches and collaborations that make total sense — like Charlotte Tilbury's recent Pillow Talk Extravaganza collection — or that are super exciting but not exactly far-fetched, like ColourPop's recent Disney releases. Then, there are the beauty debuts that are a complete departure from what you'd ever expect... which is exactly what we're diving into today. Let us know how many times you murmur, "whaa?" to yourself reading through this list.
What were some of your favorite beauty looks from the night? There was so much excellence to choose from, from Saoirse Ronan's new bangs (!), to Olivia Colman's new blonde hair (!!). Keep on clicking to see all the best hair and makeup looks from the 2020 Oscars!
For far too long, makeup was made with only fair skin in mind. Nude lipstick was "nude," but only for white women — and foundation came in various shades of pale beige.
With the universally loved "Little Women" in her rearview mirror, it's safe to say that Saoirse Ronan had quite a 2019... so, why not celebrate with a little retrospective of some of her best-ever beauty looks? From the clean-cut futuristic makeup she rocked at the 2018 Golden Globes to the stunning smoky-eyed 70s glam look she wore on the red carpet at the 2017 Academy Awards, one thing's for certain: She's rocked a lot of winning looks over the years.
She's been there for you through it all: your breakups, your make ups, and your one-night stand regrets. No matter what your relationship status looks like at the moment, one thing's for sure: Your single best friend deserves to feel the love on Valentine's Day.
Honestly, does it get more iconic than M.A.C. Retro Matte Lipstick in Ruby Woo, $19? Out of all M.A.C.'s gorgeous lippies, it's one of the best. Heck, even mega stars like Rihanna and Taylor Swift swear by the blue-based red shade, and it's easy to see why: The well-loved cult favorite has a timeless, retro appeal and it looks good on so many different skin tones.
Sure, chocolate boxes and jewelry sets and are great gifting options for your work wife or your sister-in-law, but if you have a beauty lover in your life... well, the sky's the limit.
Winter and a red lip go together like summer and a gloss, so let's slip on our wool coats and swipe on our reds. There's a red for everyone, and at this price point, you can try them all to find your perfect shade. We've included some of our favorites, from deep crimsons, to sultry rosewoods, to arresting orange-reds.
Let's put it simply: Some things are worth the splurge, others... well, aren't. That's especially true with eyeshadow palettes, where quality can swing wildly from buttery-smooth to chalky, independent of price tag. So, which of the fancy pants, expensive palettes are actually worth their price in salt? We'll break it down to you with a handful of our favorites, from neutral staples to rainbow-hued party palettes.
Pretty much everyone can agree that glitter eyeshadow palettes are fun (not the perfect way to get glam for parties)... but it's also kind of struggle to shell out the big bucks for something we're most likely not going to wear every day.
And there you have it: The end of 2019. It was another rollercoaster year for the beauty community — and from all the tea spilled and product scandals, to the most exciting launches, we've thoroughly enjoyed all the highs and lows.
2019 was a great year for beauty products — we got to see the launches of everything from from a whole host of CBD skin care essentials, to some seriously seamless serum foundations. Of course, new makeup palettes are always particularly exciting, and big brands like Tarte, Pat McGrath, and Anastasia Beverly Hills delivered some options that were nothing short of amazing.
The official Hanukkah colors are blue and silver — which we must say, makes for the perfect festive holiday makeup look. From bright mascaras, to glitter eyeshadow, to bold lips, we've got it all covered with the likes of the Lime Crime Venus XS Frosted Palette, some silvery M.A.C liner, Colourpop BFF Blue Ya Mind Mascara and more. Trust us, your face will sparkle and shine as bright those menorah candles!
You may find it kinda hard to shop for that CBD-obsessed roommate who always has tinctures (and gummies!) tucked inside her bag. I mean, she basically has every CBD product imaginable, right? Sigh.
