“Reffie Lip Blush has long received rave reviews about the brand from trusted beauty voices online and offline, but I personally find this formula a little too drying on my lips. Matte. If you’re worried about dry lips with a dull finish (and I’m sure not everyone is), then I recommend this brand’s lip gloss instead. This high-gloss formula comes in 8 colors. I’ve repurchased Sepia more times than I’d like to admit, meaning there’s a gloss for everyone.” Victor AtaowaziFreelance beauty editor/journalist

“Ultra Violet’s Moisturizing SPF is clearly a very good sunscreen. Everyone is raving about it, and as someone who tests products for a living, I can’t help but wonder why this formula works for normal to dry skin. I can understand why people with this type of people love me. However, my skin… too much It’s rather oily. I like the SPF to be hydrating, but I need it to work on my already oily skin without causing breakouts. However, I am a little concerned about the matte version for oily skin. too much It’s matte for me, but I love the Ultra Violette Preen Screen spray for daytime SPF touch-ups. As soon as summer arrives, you wouldn’t dream of leaving the house without a bottle in your bag. Honestly, I can’t imagine anyone not working on this. ”- Shannon LawlerExecutive Beauty Editor

“Jones Road What The Foundation has been a hot topic on social media since its launch and I can see why people love it so much. It’s truly beautiful and gives off a natural glow.” I pick up a hot pot on a weekly basis, but just can’t do it. First of all, I have mobility issues, so trying to cope with a hot tub isn’t for me.
“I’m a dry-skinned girl, so this product should be right on my doorstep, because that’s exactly what it was made for. But the fact that I have rosacea means that it’s… I mean, it’s not ideal. I realized it’s not ideal.” I cover as much ground as I feel I need. However, I would like to flag: I love just about all of the other Jones Road products, and Bobby himself is clearly a genius.
“Alternatively, if I also experience redness or rosacea, I often opt for Dr. Jart’s BB cream, which is great at concealing redness without being greasy or overly revealing. It gives a beautiful, natural finish with plenty of coverage. However, the problem with this product is the lack of tint.” – tori krauserfreelance health and beauty journalist

“Early in my career, At every launch Still causing the highest level of excitement (read: squealing) and my skin being young enough to accept anything I threw at it, Sunday Riley’s AutoCorrect Eye Center Cream landed on my desk. The formula itself is really impressive. A cocktail of antioxidants, caffeine, and Brazilian ginseng root extract brightens and de-puffs the skin. This is music to my ears and bears alike. I have friends and colleagues who swear by this eye cream and can’t live without it (Shannon, Executive Beauty Editor at Marie Claire, absolutely) really like That) — well, it’s become an industry legend — but unfortunately, it’s not for me. After a few applications, my delicate eye area became sensitive. At this time, I realized that I have sensitive skin.
“I didn’t have sensitive skin to begin with, but as I got older my skin became more sensitive, and this cream helped me realize that. All I do is take care of my under eye area with a rich and gentle formula.To be honest, at my dermatologist’s recommendation, I don’t use eye cream at all and instead use products that strengthen, moisturize, and protect my entire face. Recently, I have been purchasing Sunday Riley ICE Ceramide Moisturizing Cream instead. humelala mohamedbeauty editor

“I would never say it’s an overrated product (it’s obviously great), but personally I didn’t like YSL’s Touche Éclat. It’s a very iconic product. So I want to love, but it just doesn’t work. And I know I’m in the absolute minority here because so many people believe that, including fellow beauty editors. However, this brand’s NU Bare Skin Tint is Sacred, And it does exactly what I want Touche Éclat to do. Its ease of assembly is almost unparalleled. A small amount goes a long way as a sheer base, but you can also layer it to get just the right amount of coverage. It’s really versatile and probably one of my favorite makeup bases. ”- lucy abastinFreelance beauty editor

“When CeraVe finally launched in the UK in 2018, I remember being so excited to get my hands on a hydrating cleanser. Everyone working in the beauty industry always raved about this product. , before it was released in the U.S., I used to bring multiple bottles back in my suitcase from trips to the U.S. It wasn’t just beauty editors; almost every dermatologist and dermatologist I spoke to Experts (then and now) always recommend this product for its gentle cleaning abilities. We get it, we get it. It contains ceramides and hyaluronic acid to nourish and moisturize. This product also doesn’t destabilize your skin’s barrier or cause irritation, meaning it’s a great cleanser for most people.
“However, as someone who is oily and prone to blemishes, I feel like this cleanser doesn’t do enough for me. I’ve reached for this cleanser from time to time, but I didn’t test the product intensively. My skin started to react a bit after “I need something a little more active in my daily cleanser. Instead, I rely on this brand’s Blemish Control Cleanser, which has the following benefits: Contains salicylic acid and niacinamide to gently exfoliate and smooth skin.” – Micah RickettsFreelance beauty editor and copywriter
