Editors’ Picks: The Beauty Products Our Editors Are Thankful For This Year

There’s so much to be thankful for this year, but as we reflect on our gratitude lists, we can’t leave out our beauty faves. Here are our current skincare, hair care, and makeup obsessions that we just can’t get enough of. Whether you’re in the mood to try something new or in search of the perfect gifts for loved ones, these products come highly recommended from our pros.

Benefit Cosmetics Precisely My Brow Pencil, $24

“If you’re going for a natural brow look, go for this ultra-fine tip that lets you create hair-like definition without looking painted on. The color lasts all day, and it only takes me five minutes to create full, polished brows. Even if I’m having a makeup meltdown, I know I can count on my brows to stay strong!” –Victoria V.

Pro tip: First, brush brows with the built-in spoolie, then fill in any gaps with the pencil side using upward strokes.

Oribe Gold Lust Transformative Masque, $66

“It really does ‘transform’ my chemically processed hair from feeling rough, dry and tangled to silky, soft, and shiny. It has a super-rich texture with a nice amount of slip, so any tangles in my hair just fall away.” –Kathryn F.

Pro tip: If you have oily roots, apply it only through the ends. And, keep in mind it does have protein in it, so skip this one if your hair is protein-sensitive.

ILIA Multi-Stick in Cheek to Cheek, $34

“The beautiful coral, terracotta color warms up my complexion for a fresh-faced, luminous look. It’s also super easy to apply and blends seamlessly! –Jana D.

Pro tip: Dab any leftover product onto the bridge of your nose, and you’ll look like you just got some sun.

Lucas’ Pawpaw Ointment, $12

“A staple in my dopp kit—this one’s a step up from the Vaseline I used as a kid. I apply it on the lips and around the eyes as part of my bedtime routine and lightly smooth some on my lips and eyelids before going out, both for protection and to add a little shine.” –Mike A.

Pro tip: It’s also great for minor irritations, like bug bites and little cuts, or a no-brainer gift for that relative for whom you have no idea what to get.

Benefit Cosmetics Benetint Cheek & Lip Stain, $18

“I constantly try to create a subtle, natural-looking flush of color on the lips for everyday, and this does the trick. It gives me the perfect post-popsicle tint that actually lasts year-round.” –Nurain A.

Pro tip: The color is super buildable, so you can easily increase intensity for holiday parties, celebrations and get-togethers this time of year!
