To help you navigate this bi-annual event, read on for my tight edit of suggestions in every category.
Kindly scroll on for more details, swatches and images of my picks in action as well as the Bottom Line…
// COMPLEXION //
To start, the Glamcor Riki Pretty is the vanity upgrade you didn’t know you needed. Spacious with a gorgeous spectrum lighting options, this mirror (which also comes with a magnifying mirror and phone mount) makes perfecting one’s canvas an unmitigated joy. For base, I’m loving the BY TERRY Hyaluronic Serum Concealer in 8 Golden Nude, 9 Amber Nude and 11 Deep Tan. This hyaluronic acid-rich formula is skincare focused color that really delivers. I use the two beige shades to even my skin tone and I use the deepest shade as a contour for natural look that lasts the day. For cheeks, the new Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Evil Eye Palette is beyond. Featuring six finely milled shades to bronze, blush, highlight and set, this stunning palette creates a full face in mere moments. The tones will work for skin that ranges from light to tan (I’m medium olive) and the compact yet sturdy packaging make it excellent for travel. Speaking of which, I’ve been traveling nonstop lately and cannot recommend the adept Sonia G. Mini Keyaki Brush Set. It’s small yet mighty! Finally, I have used the cult classic Sisley-Paris L’Orchidee Highlighting Blush Shade 1 for years and recently rediscovered it in my stash. This bronzy apricot hue instantly enlivens the complexion and takes the place of blush and bronzer while finishing skin with a delicate glow. It’s truly well worth the pursuit!
// SETS //
I adore a mini set, especially if I’m confident that I will wear everything involved and such is the case for the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Icons on the Go. Replete with a lip liner, lipstick highlighter and cream eyeshadow, all in the iconic Pillow Talk hue, this quartet is the gift to give to the neutral makeup lover in your life. The swatches, I might add, speak for themselves.
// SKINCARE ETC.//
I will forever be a silk hair tie devotee and the Slip Skinny Silk Scrunchies Ornament in Paige is an essential stocking stuffer. For the face, I’m enjoying the rich and silky Albion Flora Drip (Japanese beauty at its best) to hydrate and add a glow on contact and the Pretti 5 Night Mask (a newer brand for me) impressively restores skin while you sleep. I’ve been using the U Beauty The Sculpt Neck + Decollete Concentrate consistently and appreciate that it is fragrance free while delivering potent anti-aging benefits to an area that all of us are trying to keep in good condition and for beauty from the inside out, the The Beauty Chef Debloat & Digest Well is a supplement that maintains gut health while delivering a seriously flat stomach. Yes, please.
// EYES //
I’ve kept my recommendations in the eye category exceptionally brief because both of these products masterfully execute an endless array of looks. The Chantecaille Eye Duet in Jasmine is a lush duo that includes a velvety matte and luminous metallic, both in a neutral taupe-meets-bronze shade that is endlessly fresh and modern. For a strong pop of color that looks especially impactful on green and brown eyes, the Natasha Denona Roxa Palette is next-level. The shimmering and metallic hues blend like a dream while the mattes are intensely buttery. Roxa is such a quintessentially ND palette and I predict it will sell out soon!
// LIPS //
For lips, I wholly recommend the lush brown Sisley-Paris Lipliner #6 Chocolat (I’ve gone through 3 over the years), which, as the name implies, is a rich brown that pairs so well with pinks and neutrals. Additionally, the brand new Chantecaille Lip Cristal in Pink Topaz is breathtakingly beautiful; the luminous beige-meets-rosewood has a metallic sheen that is ultra opulent and flattering and ideal for those who want a reflective finish without a glittery effect. For deep conditioning on demand, the Natasha Denona Hy-Gen Tinted Lip Masks are a must. They impart a glossy, cellophane wash of color while deeply conditioning the lips for a brilliant fusion of color and care. If you’re seeking a creamy matte option, allow me to put the divine Anna Sui Everlasting Rouge formula on your radar. Boasting intense color payoff and strong lasting power that keeps lips balanced and comfortable for hours, this lip color comes in a range of wearable shades that are equal parts lovely and unique (see swatches below).
