Ever since this weightless foundation came out two years ago, PureWow editors and readers have been obsessed. “It's super lightweight and I can't feel it on my skin at all. Plus it gives that blurred, Instagram pretty filter effect IRL. I mix a few drops with an illuminating primer and it leaves the dewiest, most natural glow. I'm a fan for life,” says beauty-lover Brianna Lapolla. Psst, the formula is infused with six active botanicals, so you can trust it provides coverage and skincare.

Want a glowy and bronze look for the summer? Say no more. That’s exactly what the makeup geniuses at Kosas had in mind when they developed this baked bronzer. “It doesn’t just make me look sun kissed. It makes me look lit from within!” says one enthusiastic reviewer. We’re sold.

Finally, a lip gloss that isn’t sticky or clumpy but happens to be ultra nourishing. Kosas’s Wet Lip Oil Gloss contains ultra-hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, peptides, shea butter and avocado oil, which work to plump and hydrate your pout—while providing shine, of course. In fact, one editor says it moisturizes so well, she’ll use it in place of a balm when her lips need a little TLC.

Finding a clean concealer that actually performs is a tall order. Which is why we had 10 women test it to see whether or not it lived up to its claims. Spoiler alert: It totally did. Our testers said it “blends like a dream,” “lasts throughout the day,” and “doesn’t crease at all.” And with 16 buildable shades, you’re bound to find one that works for you.

After almost five months of social distancing, our makeup routine is practically nonexistent. Which means there’s absolutely no way we’re breaking out our eyeshadow palette on the rare occasion that we do go out in public. Thankfully, Kosas has this option that, as the name implies, is super easy to swipe on and head out the door. It features three neutral shades, is crease-resistant and quick-drying, too.

In the summer, we’re all about dewy, natural makeup, so this cream blush and highlighter duo is one of our go-tos. We’re partial to the Velvet Melon compact, which includes a peachy pink blush and bronze highlighter that makes it look like we just spent the day in the sun. Even if we blend it on with our fingers.

The Weightless Lip Color in Thrillist is one of beauty director Jenny Jin’s all-time favorite lipsticks, so you know it has to be good. “It’s the perfect poppy red: The texture is creamy, the color payoff is incredible and the ingredient list is clean. I truly enjoy wearing it,” she says. BRB while we pick up one in every shade.

Clean mascaras are hard to come by. This one not only volumizes, lengthens, and curls every lash—it also nourishes them, making your lashes stronger and healthier over time. (We know, add to cart).

A setting powder that makes your skin look angelic? We want it. Plus, it comes in tons of shades, so you're bound to find one that effortlessly blends into your skin. Oh, and it's lightweight and won't make your face feel cakey.
