ONE-STEP PRIMER
Whittle down your beauty routine with the new Stila One Step Collection. The three multi-tasking helix serum primers each contains a proprietary blend of 15 vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and addresses a specific beauty concern. One Step Correct reduces redness, neutralizes spots and dark circles and counters sallow undertones; One Step Illuminate brightens, illuminates, evens skin tone and warms the complexion and One Step Prime smooths and conditions skin. The water-infused primers have a lighter feel on the skin than silicone-based primers and are oil and fragrance free. Get them for $36 at Sephora and stilacosmetics.com.
HOLLYWOOD LIPS
Charlotte Tilbury Beauty has created a new formula for lips. Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Lips, $34 each, offers 10 shades of matte liquid lipsticks to help you create a pouty look worthy of a Hollywood starlet. The lipstick goes on like a gloss then sets to a soft matte finish. Infused with an anti-aging ingredient and plumping hyaluronic acid, the gloss is light on lips while still keeping them moist. Shades range from Charlotte Darling, a creamy pink that is Tilbury's personal favorite to Screen Siren, a classic ruby red. Get them now at charlottetilbury.com.
