Best Concealers

Comfort: Another thing to note when using lip plumpers is whether they feel comfortable on the lips or if the sensation is overwhelming. Knowing what you can and can’t handle with the sensation that comes with lip plumping ingredients is key when choosing the right form


Finish: Concealers come in a variety of finishes, like matte, natural, radiant, and dewy. If you have oily skin, one with a natural or matte finish will probably wear better on you. If you have dry skin, one with a radiant or dewy finish can help enhance luminos


Our favorite mascara is the Benefit Cosmetics Fan Fest Fanning Mascara . It helps curl and lift while separating and volumizing the lashes for a gorgeous, full look and wears well without smudging or flaking. If you’re looking for a foolproof drugstore buy, we recommend the Maybelline Sky High Mascara . It lengthens and Makeupinsight.com separates the lashes beautifully, remaining intact all day l


Can you receive cumulative benefits from lip plumpers?

In short, no. Lip plumpers create a temporary effect rather than something that lasts like injectables. "The effects of lip plumpers are subtle, and the results are temporary," says Dr. Saedi. That said, if a plumper also contains moisturizing ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, you might notice smoother lips over t


Caitlyn Martyn , former associate editor: "I've tested many volumizing mascaras, but this one is my favorite. It offers impressive lift and curl—which goes a long way to define my lashes—and I love that the formula includes a strengthening peptide serum to fortify each lash during we


Here's when we started getting into cat-eye territory. Postwar beauty was all about femininity, and that included using black pencil to create an alluring almond shape around the eyes. Multiple colors of eyeliner were available at the time: brown, gray, purple, blue, green. But black remained the most en vogue and was often paired with a light lip à la Brigitte Bar


The wand has a diamond-shaped applicator with a pointed tip, which helps place the product precisely in the inner corners of the eyes and creases of the nose. Once dry, we were impressed by how well the formula wore—we didn’t experience much creasing or fading throughout the day. While there are 18 shades available, we feel like the range is lacking options for those with fair and deep skin tones and people with cool underto


Hello, color! The '80s saw heavy, smudged eyeliner paired with pastel eye shadow and frosted lips. Sometimes the eyeliner was basic black, but often it was technicolor neon, just like the spandex. Bring back the '80s with some loud liquid eyeliner like Nyx's Vivid Brights Eyeli


Sixties eyeliner took the drama of the '50s and amplified it. The most popular style was winged liner on the upper lid, paired with dramatic lashes. Sometimes falsies were worn, and sometimes eyeliner was used to paint spidery lashes on the bottom (Twiggy's signature look). By the '60s, multiple eyeliner shades and formulas were available, including pencil, cake, and liquid. Get Twiggy's look with Kat Von D's Ink Li


This Kosas Revealer concealer has been a longtime favorite among customers looking for a concealer for dry skin—and we loved it, too. It’s formulated with hyaluronic acid and peptides to boost moisture, and we agree that it looks and feels hydrating on the skin. It has a super creamy, serum-like formula, lending a texture that’s spreadable and easy to blend. It offers medium buildable coverage, though we noticed we did need to layer it up more than other options to yield our desired cover


Makeup Artist Tip: If you really want your lashes to stand out, be sure to curl them first before applying mascara, and curl them again once the mascara has dried. This will make sure you get a little extra volume in the lashes and they stand out perfectly, especially if you opt out on wearing eyeli


This mascara felt like a beauty treatment for my lashes. It’s made with nourishing ingredients like shea butter and a carnauba–candelilla wax blend, which give the formula a creamy, buildable texture. It goes on smoothly and evenly while feeling conditioning and comfortable on lashes (zero stickiness). I also loved the look: clean separation, a natural curl, and sexy length. It’s not going to be your bold, volumizing go-to, but rather an easy pick for everyday w


We love a concealer that you can achieve light to medium coverage with, but also build up for more intense opacity, and that defines this pick from Live Tinted. It has a creamy texture that spreads easily, creating a blurring veil of coverage to even out discoloration while maintaining a skin-like appearance. A second coat can be applied with your fingertips or a brush to achieve full coverage. This versatility makes it a great option on minimal makeup days and for special occasi


With the dreamiest texture, this lip plumping gloss truly feels divine. It applies like a slick oil that leaves my lips feeling wonderfully hydrated—and it does not cause any flakiness with repeated application—what a win! The feeling is comfortable,
