You can thank social media for all the contour palettes hitting shelves. The art of chiseling your face using dark and light powders (all the better for #selfie taking) has become bigger than SoulCycle. We love Kat Von D’s version for a few reasons. The six-pan palette includes three shading powders and three highlighting powders, each with a silky feel that’s super easy to blend. The palette also comes with a how-to that’s way easier to follow than those Pinterest tutorials. Plus, achieving the perfect contour is so much easier with the right tools. Kat Von D’s new Shade & Light Contour Brush ($36 at Sephora) is a double-ended tool featuring angled bristles on one end (for contouring) and tapered bristles on the other (for highlighting). It also comes in a cool, coffin-like case. 

 

 

Dual-purpose makeup allows for a lighter load in our handbags, so you better believe we'll be adding these twist-up color sticks for lips and cheeks from makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury the second they launch in February. Available in five pretty shades, the Beach Sticks have a unique cream-to-balm formula that diffuses light and leaves lips and cheeks dewy. 

 

If you can only get one eye shadow palette this season (or year, for that matter), make sure it’s one of the beautiful new Hourglass Modernist Palettes. They feature five alluring hues that seamlessly transition from one to the other (no dime-sized pans here!). The shadows are powders, but they’ve got a rich, creamy texture to them that blends flawlessly and won’t crease. Each color is true and doesn’t require layer after layer to look visible on skin. Choose from seven gorgeous color schemes. 

 

 

If you thought applying lip gloss was easy, wait until your try Giorgio Armani’s new Eye Tints. They actually look like gloss on the outside, no? These creamy fluid shadows transfer from a liquid to solid in a flash without sticky residue, leaving behind just a thin layer of buildable color. Available in 12 pretty hues, the formula stays put for up to 16 hours without smudging or creasing. 

 

 

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, Kjaer Weis’ three new shades of Lip Tints couldn’t have come at a better time. The hues, which will debut exclusively on Net-a-Porter on January 26th, include Rapture, a hot pink; Amazed, a pretty violet; and Beloved, a black cherry. The formulas are top notch and made with certified organic and gluten-free ingredients like beeswax and jojoba seed oil. Get ready to pucker up. 

 

Large pores are the worst! Keep them under wraps with Lorac’s new POREfection Concealer, a new addition to the POREfection family. We’re huge fans of the foundation and are stoked about this new range that hides every imperfection without looking cakey. The formula is blended with olive leaf, lemon fruit and papaya extracts, as well as a ton of vitamins and white peony to brighten the under eye area and give you that filtered look, without the filter. 

 

 

Whatever you do, don’t call this a lip gloss. It’s so much better than that. YSL has managed to turn a deep conditioning oil to a lightweight lip tint with major shine. It melts onto lips treating your pout with four essential oils: apricot kernel, coriander fruit, jojoba seed and possiflorra edulis seed. Lips are happy, you’re happy, everyone is happy. Choose from eight sheer hues. 

 

 

If you love how gel feels on your face, you’re going to fall for bareMinerals new Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream hard. The gel cream uses hydrating humectants and pigment made with mineral-infused water to quench skin’s thirst and enhance your complexion with sheer coverage. It’s silicone and oil-free but has plenty of SPF 30 to keep you protected while outdoors. If you’re looking to get that runway-worthy, dewy complexion, you’ve got it in a tube of this. Available in 10 shades.
