We'd buy anything Rihanna is selling
(and probably have), but her Fenty Beauty Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint ($30) is definitely a standout. Unlike other tinted moisturizers we've tried, this stuff actually serves some coverage. Don't get us wrong,
it's still buildable, so you can get that light, skin-like blur you love where you want it
and easily bump up coverage just where you
need it. It was even camouflaging enough
to cover a few post-breakout dark spots.

The Item Beauty by Addison Rae Air Hug
Clean Lightweight Full-Coverage Concealer ($18) is like TikTok's Glow Look makeup
filter IRL, which tracks given the brand's
founder is social media star Addison Rae.
This full-coverage concealer is pigmented
enough to disguise our darkest circles and
bright-red hormonal breakouts all day, but thanks to the pillowy, almost whipped
texture and radiant finish, it melts right in
and leaves skin looking natural.

Selena Gomez knows music, movies,
and, apparently, makeup. Exhibit A: her
Rare Beauty Stay Vulnerable Melting Cream Blush ($21) is unlike anything we've tried before. When applied with your fingers, it transforms into a liquid that melts into a second skin and leaves the most natural-looking flush ever. Here's where the tricks come in. The water-resistant formula does not cake or build up on the surface, and it magically doesn't move or mess with our foundation underneath. We might not understand it, but we 100 percent love it.

Chic but minimal — that's
Victoria Beckham's style vibe, which is why it's no surprise that her Victoria Beckham Beauty Future Lash Mascara ($28) fits right into the VB aesthetic.
One swipe of this tubing mascara will give you major lash-lengthening results, but in that subtle, this-is-what-I-look-like
way. The best part? No matter how much you apply, there's zero risk of clumpage. All you're left with are defined, natural-looking lashes that would make Posh Spice proud.

Halsey's About-Face Paint-It Matte
Lip Color ($22) passed our ultimate
liquid-lipstick test: zero transfer to our face
mask (even after 30 minutes on a sweaty walk). Plus, the pigmented formula did not
smudge or fade one bit, and unlike other liquid lipsticks we've tested, it's actually comfortable to wear. You won't forget
you're wearing it, though: there's the
nicest touch of peppermint oil, which
not only added a minty-fresh smell
but also kept our lips moisturized.
