Hundreds of products come across our desks every month, but not all of them deliver on their claims or live up to the hype. (Not everything that goes viral on TikTok is a miracle worker.) This is our exclusive curation of the best-in-class makeup products receiving rave reviews from our team and hitting shelves right now.

I am one of the biggest fans of tubing mascara, and most of the people I’ve gotten hooked on them have told me it’s been tough to go back to standard formulas once they’ve experienced all the perks of tubing (the big one being you don’t need makeup remover to take it off). Tarte wanted to get in on the fun with this new launch, which it’s dubbed “lash extensions in a tube.”

The volumizing comb features 296 bristles that separate and lift each lash for that fanned-out, never clumpy look I love, and the conditioning formula—it contains shea butter and castor oil—glides on super smooth. One tip before you try: Apply all your coats at once, rather than applying a couple and then waiting to do a couple more like you would with traditional mascara, as it dries very quickly, and in my experience, it won’t apply as evenly.

Kjaer Weis The Beautiful Tint ($45)

The name of this product describes it perfectly: this hybrid of color and skin care provides that super coveted “lit from within” radiance that lets skin’s natural beauty shine through. It’s the girl that walks by you at the store and you think, “Her skin looks so healthy and fresh.” I love that the formula is available in 16 shades, it’s made with certified-organic ingredients and it layers well with sunscreen (aka no pilling).

Plus, it contains the brand’s signature ingredient, biodynamically farmed Light Root, a plant that helps hydrate skin and trap moisture. Other key ingredients include moisturizing hazelnut extract, cocoa butter, moringa oil and wild rose. I like to apply it with a brush, but you can just as seamlessly use your fingers, too.

Fenty Beauty Poutsicle Hydrating Lip Stain ($24)

Fenty’s first-ever lip stain (dropping June 3) is a winner. Stash one of the four juicy shades in your pool bag for those insanely hot days when you can’t even imagine applying something thick or sticky on your lips, but you want pigment. The coverage can range from sheer to medium based on the look you’re going for, and once the glossy finish wears off, lips still feel hydrated (the oil-in-water formula keeps lips moisturized) and look stained with pretty color.

“Makeup is all about play, and when I was developing this lip stain, I had so much fun,” says founder Rihanna. “This product just hits different. You get that sexy, wet-look shine and your lips feel super hydrated. But…this tint!”

CoverGirl Simply Ageless Triple Action Concealer ($17.50)

A first-to-market concealer, this unique take on the popular product features a unique ceramic, flat-paddle wand—no standard doe foot applicator here—that delivers an instant cooling effect to wake up tired, puffy under-eyes. It also dispenses the perfect amount of concealer with medium-to-full coverage so you’re not wasting any product.

It comes in 10 shades, feels very lightweight, blends in easily, and also provides the added benefit of anti-aging, hydrating and brightening properties thanks to hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and niacinamide. In a consumer study of 96 women after one week of use: 97 percent said it felt comfortable all day and 94 percent said it didn’t flake.

Lune+Aster Moonrise Contour & Glow Duo ($46)

Rather than sun-kissed, the brand is going for “moonlit” with this complexion-perfecting duo, which features a talc-free, neutral-toned, golden bronzer on one side and a champagne highlighter with a creamy powder texture on the other. Together, the two formulas add luminosity and definition, so you can sculpt and paint to your heart’s content and then glow under the light of the moon this summer.

And in true Lune+Aster fashion, both the contour and the highlighter are vegan, gluten-free and infused with skin-care ingredients, including vitamin E, licorice root and apple seed extract that help better your skin, too.
