The fan favorite brand showed no signs of slowing down in 2018, and they’re still leading the charge with their original hero. Boy Brow is the eyebrow tamer of dreams, and at this point you’d be hard pressed to find a makeup bag without one. Or five.

Tarte Shape Tape Contour Concealer
Apparently one of these is sold every 12 seconds, so… I’m in! This concealer is actually a double act. It can serve all the classic concealer needs with a flawless matte finish, but you can also use it as part of your contour routine, too! Also it’s vegan, FYI.

Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation
Fenty took Sephora shelves by storm this year, and not just because of its founder’s famous face. This stuff is good—really good, and it’s showing up high on our list to prove it. Available in 50 (!!) shades, this product has over 7K 5-star reviews (the highest rating) on Sephora. I mean…

Let’s hear it for advancements in blush! Glossier seems to be leading the charge when it comes to beauty innovation, and Cloud Paint is a perfect example. Just a teeny drop of cloud paint will give you the most gorgeous rosy glow. Anyone who’s struggled to decide between color and dewy finish should know that this product does both at the same time.

Lancome Monsieur Big Mascara
Yes, it means Mr. Big in English. Clever name aside, you should really let the before/after photos on Sephora speak for themselves. If you want majorly fluffy lashes without having to adhere fake ones, this might just be your product.

Moroccan Argan Hair Oil
Smoothing, nourishing Argan Oil has been saving us from dry, brittle blowouts for ages, and I was thrilled to see so many of you discover it in 2018. Whether you’re battling winter dryness or looking for a post-surf solution in summer, this wonder-oil smoothes over all your worries. I apply a small amount to the ends of my hear right after towel-drying and before blow-drying.

Powermatte Lip Pigment

Nars Powermatte Lip Pigment
And now we’ll enter the Nars section of the list, mkay? Or as I like to call it, the “makeup that just works really really well” section. For those looking for a little more power in their pout, I have 20 weightless matte pigments to talk to you about. This full-coverage liquified pigment isn’t going anywhere once it’s on, and it’s also safe to say that matte finishes have moved well beyond trend, and into a makeup moment worth mastering. As I’ve said ad nauseum, this is hands-down my favorite longwear lip product. I own it in practically every color.

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS

Anastasia Brow Shadow Duo
The jokes on us if we thought bold, perfectly presented brows were a trend. They’re here to stay, and this brow shadow is here to make sure they stay exactly how you want them. Use two shades to create an ombre brow, or blend together for a custom shade. With an almost perfect Sephora rating, purchase confidently my friends, purchase confidently.
IT COSMETICS
Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream
12
It Cosmetics CC Cream
I’ve heard friends rave about this CC Cream for years and it’s one of those products that I only recently tried for myself. Needless to say, I sure wish I had listened sooner. This CC cream not only provides the coverage and color correction you’d expect, it’s also infused with lots of moisturizing agents and an anti-aging serum that works behind the scenes while you’re busy looking flawless. Wear this CC cream and expect to hear words like “radiant” and “dewy” bandied about when you walk in the room.
