Why you’ll love it: A lot of our editors have made room in their (very crowded) makeup bags to give this brow pencil a permanent spot. And when you try it, you’ll quickly see why: The formula makes brows look naturally thicker and the included spoolie makes blending a breeze.

How you’ll use it: The slanted tip is great for drawing on hairs: Add the most to your arch, use a slightly lighter hand on the tails, and go easiest on the inner corners. Then brush the spoolie over your brows to shape them while blending.

Why You'll Love It: This velvety liquid lipstick goes on easily, wears comfortably, and gives lips full-coverage color that’s matte, opaque, and intense. In Another Day, Another Nude, the thin formula—meaning it’s not goopy, so it’s easy to control and apply with precision—creates a light peachy shade that would satisfy Goldilocks herself: It’s not too dark, not too light, but just right.

How you’ll use it: Exfoliate away any flakes (you can use a sugar lip scrub, actual sugar and warm water, or a soft, damp washcloth) and prep lips with clear balm. Take advantage of the doe-foot applicator—you can use its pointy side to carefully trace your lips—and then fill in the color. If you make a mistake, wipe it away quickly—once the formula dries, it’s set.

You may not have heard of kinetin (yet), but it’s a plant growth factor that can help moisturize and improve skin tone. In this Obagi cream, the namesake ingredient is paired with another all-star brightener—ascorbic acid. That’s the especially effective pure form of vitamin C, beloved by dermatologists for its ability to make skin smoother and more radiant. Alongside soothing lactobacillus ferment and aloe, and hydrating soybean and panthenol, this skin-loving blend is the antidote to drying cold weather, leaving complexions softer and with the kind of glow we usually chase all winter long.

Why you’ll love it: The kind of fragrance you’ll want to cozy up in all winter, this blend of warm musk and rose, with a touch of wintry tangerine, feels as comfy and seems as expensive as the perfect cashmere sweater (you know, the kind Rihanna would wear).

How you’ll use it: Mist it onto your pulse points (neck, wrists) or walk through a cloud of the sweetly warm fragrance.

Why you’ll love it: The formula in this little black bottle makes an excellent argument for adding mousse to your daily routine: It spreads easily and gives hair tons of body—no blowout required.

How you’ll use it: After showering, rake a little through damp hair, then style as usual.

Why you’ll love it: This brings together the best parts of an oil (instant hydration) and a serum (tons of active ingredients, like soothing centella asiatica and antioxidant green tea) in one formula that, when applied at night, makes skin feel smoother and bouncier come morning.

How you'll use it: Shake the bottle and warm a pipette full of the oil in your hands before smoothing it over clean skin each night.
