The NYLON Beauty 100

You'll be hard-pressed to find a gloss that is as long-lasting as this one. The new sheer shades are my fave.

Perfect for the days you cannot do more than your simplest makeup routine. Once you can figure out how to even open the packaging (you'll have to Google it!) this’ll act like a smooth filter for your skin IRL.

My favorite blush maybe ever? A little pigment goes a long way (blush blindness sufferers, take notice), and the compact packaging is equal parts convenient and adorable.

Not quite sheer, but not quite full-coverage, this foundation is the perfect in-between for almost any situation, and perfect for daily use.

I am a firm believer that everyone looks hotter with a little bit of color around the eyes. This bright pink mascara makes people do a double take in the best way.

Another win for stellar packaging. How Dior Beauty managed to create a lipstick with that flawless lip gloss shine is beyond me.

Achieving the no-makeup makeup look is especially challenging when you struggle with chronic hyperpigmentation, but I've come pretty d*mn close with this concealer. It's super lightweight and easily blendable — just how I like it.

The only brow gel I've found that doesn't leave my brow hairs feeling sticky, crunchy, or any other icky adjective by the end of the day.

The pigments tow the line of being unique yet versatile, and each palette has some heft — how you know it’s good quality. One thing about me: I’m a sucker for thoughtful packaging.

Wear it on its own or layer it over your everyday nail color, this lacquer is as versatile as they come.

My hunt for a boy-makeup-approved lightweight serum-foundation is over. The smallest of drops handily neutralizes any redness on my face while still letting my natural skin shine — I don’t pay bundles for skin care products to not show off the efforts of my labor.

I'll admit, this liner is a little precarious for my unsteady hand, but at least it can be applied with the slightest touch and a minimal amount of effort.

All the fun of using a glue stick in makeup form. High payoff, high shine, wherever you want it.

I've never used a lip product quite like this formula. It goes on like a lip balm — glossy and nourishing — and blots out to a subtle tint that lasts all day. Pick up "Smoky Mauve" for a your-lips-but-better shade.

If you want strangers to stop you on the street to compliment your nails without the three-plus-hour salon trip, these are true a godsend.

Want to look moisturized and bring just the lightest touch of color and volume to your lips? Look no further. It's your lips, but better.

Some days I just want gentle rosy cheeks, other days I'm in the mood to look tastefully sunburnt — I can do both with this easily blendable formula. It's infused with squalane and rosehip oil, so it melts into your cheeks and doesn't give that cakey looks some other powders do.

A little pop of blue for the Teen Vogue party? Line your waterline with this, and it will make your eyes pop even in the darkiest, haziest of clubs.

A cushiony formula in buildable shades that feel casual and oh so French. The luxe packaging transforms application into a heavenly daily ritual.

I'm no makeup artist, but toss me this palette and somehow it does the job for you. Twelve shades in three textures that all work in such harmony in a forgiving, blendable formula — it's hard to mess a look up with these neutrals.

For when I want a little of vampiness in my look. It's easy to apply and blend out for quick pop of color as you're rushing out the door to a night out.

Why have one nail color in a single bottle when you can have two? This duo-toned cat eye gel shifts from purple to green and will have you staring at your manicure like you're hypnotized.

We've all fallen victim to sticky, drying lip glosses — not any longer. This shade never leaves my purse and is the final touch to my everyday no-makeup makeup look.

This is for that dewy type of glow. It naturally blends into your complexion to look like your cheekbones are really that high.

Oh, this is glamorous. One swipe, and your lips are plumper and sparkly AF, and everyone is complimenting (or kissing) you.

Cover up your late nights with the best under-eye concealer we've found. It offers just the right amount of full coverage without looking cakey.

This has been around forever for a reason. Everyone is always surprised when I tell them I'm wearing foundation — plus it has built-in SPF!

Finally, a gloss that delivers shine without a hair-stuck-to-your-lips situation. You can thank us later.

One of those foundations that makes your skin look like itself, just after eight hours of sleep and a gallon of water. Leaves a healthy glow without an oily sheen.

A creamy, buildable texture makes this bronzer suitable for both contouring and a general, all-around glow.

A lip liner that seamlessly blends into your lips and doesn't wear off at the first sip of your first martini.

A precise thin brush and long-wearing formula make for a truly great way to fill in your brows without looking like you did.

No no-makeup makeup routine is complete without a sipe of this clumpless, volumnizing formula.

Who doesn't want to wake up with supple, radiant skin?

It's everything you look for in a moisturizer: lightweight, hydrating, and milky-silky smooth.

The gentlest and most soothing oil-based cleanser. A few drops in your palms is enough to melt away a full face of foundation, heavy eye makeup, and grime from the club.

I have perpetual bags under my eyes, but it's hard not to glamorize such tribulations when they can be treated with literal gold.

Sweetly scented? Check. Subtle shimmer? Check. Geniunely effective? Check, check, check.

Dry skin girlies, rise. This has been my new go-to cleanser on nights where my skin is feeling extra thirsty. It's moisturizing, fragrance-free, and so gentle that if a baby had a skin care routine, this would be in it.

Why use a regular old hyaluronic acid when you could use one that also doubles as a primer and a foundation booster? The light-pink formulation is creamy yet moist, and it gives you that post-facial glow in an instant.

Just one use will leave you looking bright and dewy, I promise. And if you suffer from hyperpigmentation (guilty), it won't be long before those dark spots start to fade.

Maybe I'm just placebo-effecting myself, but I truly do notice a difference in my skin when I use these. I like to pull them out when I'm dealing with a particularly rough breakout.

You're gonna want these cooling and hydrating pads for when that next summer heat wave comes rolling in. Just saying.

A workhorse of an SPF that leaves zero white streaks and delivers on its acne-friendly promises.

Many products say they’ll perk you up, but none do the job quite like this blood-red serum that immediately moves my forehead and cheeks a centimeter higher in the morning.

Pop these on under your sunglasses in the morning and arrive to the office looking like you got the eight hours of sleep you definitely did not. Bonus points for the selfie-friendly pattern.

The Platonic ideal of retinols with a sliding scale of intensity for every persuasion that pounces on redness, acne, lines, and city pollution with glee.

My new morning moisturizer holy grail that plays well with SPFs, serums, and toners. The weight is right in between a gel and a cream, and just two pumps covers me from my six-head to my neck, so don’t cower at the cost: One bottle will last you months.

When I used this twice or three times a week, I saw a lit-from-within glow that rivals Dua Lipa’s.

The weirdest product I tested this year, and I mean that as a compliment. If you’re not afraid of true shine that could distract anyone passing you, spritz this on in the afternoon and feel the light oil-water combo lock in hydration.

A surprise multi-tasker, this soothing essence blends seamless both under makeup and mixed in with your favorite products. My go-to hack: mix a little red lipstick in for the most natural cheek stain.

According to The Velvet Underground, not everyone loves the sun. I do. And even more so now that I’ve found the perfect lightweight sunscreen that’s clear and water-resistant for all my sweaty gals.

The only thing worse than a hangover is a hangover and a puffy face. This icy-cold mask helps depuff and cool your skin (and I just love to mix up concoctions).

A super-rich, super-hydrating post-shower treat that leaves behind just enough of a scent to wear it alone or build with your favorite perfume.

The tried and true ultimate lip product. Thick enough to act as an overnight mask for your lips, or during the day to add shine.

The only moisturizer that helps my skin survive retinol. For redness, flakiness, or general irritation, use this. Best of all, it never breaks me out!

The best sunscreen for zero white cast and no fragrance. Leaves you looking hydrated but not oily.

We're all up to date on our facial retinol, but what about one for your eyes? For your most delicate skin, this brightening serum can't be beat.

My favorite way to cure a breakout while subtly looking cute. Invisible from far away, like a quirky decoration up close.

For those of us who spend an hour on our face and approximately six seconds on the rest of our body. Adding this one step helps your body moisturizer absorb better thanks to its natural exfoliant properties.

I said it once, I’ll say it again: This was the item I mourned most when my purse was stolen. Immediately picked up another one because it’s that good.

Add a little brightness to your morning routine with this miracle product that does everything it promises: fade dark spots, reduce redness, and just give you a general glow.

If you've been out of college longer than you were in it (it sneaks up on us all!), this is a must-have for your daily routine. This peptide-rich serum is the holy grail for boosting skin's bounciness and reducing fine lines.

Self-tan novices and experts alike can appreciate this foolproof, never-orange product.

A gentle, hydrating cleanser (yes, it does exactly what its name says) that takes off both the day's grime and makeup.

Aluminum-free deodorants that actually work are unfortunately a rarity these days, which is why Salt & Stone has my business for the foreseeable future.

Everything you could ever ask for from a body lotion — nonsticky, light yet significant fragrance, 12-hour hydration — in the chicest bottle on the market.

My music-festival-weekend savior. This shot of espresso in face-mask form transforms any deathly hungover or sleep-deprived pallor in 10 minutes flat.

Fig is a difficult note to get right in a perfume, but somehow, D.S. & Durga perfected it. Clean, ripe, and sexy. Admittedly, I always felt like a rock star wearing this (and that was before I knew of its namesake song).

The irresistible combination of black pepper, orchid, vetiver, and musk make this a compliment magnet that will stay turning heads late into any night you wear it.

Perfect for when you want to smell nice, but don't want to go full “perfume department at Bloomingdale’s.”

A scent that not everyone has, but everybody will ask you about.

Sits right in the middle of the soft-sweet-sexy Venn diagram, and might be my favorite unisex scent of the year.

The coolest girl I know wore this, and when I copied her scent, I realized half her allure was by virtue of the fragrance. It's woody and spicy, with just a hint of sweetness.

I love a unisex fragrance. Juicy white peach with dark, smoky oud? Say. Less.

There's daytime perfumes, nighttime perfumes, and wedding perfumes. Somehow, this sweet peachy scent is all three.

My spring/summer fixation that is delightfully weird on contact, yet melts into a delicious floral. It doesn’t hurt that the bottle is a point of pride in my ever-growing fragrance collection.

Forget what you know about gourmands. Loewe reinvented the wheel with a sexy, spicy nighttime vanilla that intrigues anew on each application.

After buying myself several dozen bouquets of peonies and lusting after their scent, I crossed my fingers and hoped this scent would deliver. It hits the top note right on the head while still being fresh, and the musky and woody undertones make this truly universal.

My official scent of the summer. Sweet, fruity fragrances can get too close to smelling like your middle school body spray, but the cardamom and sandalwood notes peek out and balance the mango with wear throughout the day to elevate this delicious tropical perfume.

As someone who struggles with hair build up, dry shampoo is usually way more of a miss than it is a hit. This product has been a game changer; no more scrubbing my scalp extra hard the day after dry shampooing to break down the leftover residue.

Whether you use one drop or 10, rest assured your hair will still feel as light and bouncy as a fresh blowout, with just a lot more shine.

My hair might not be as naturally blond as it once was, so I make sure to do everything I can to preserve its color. This shampoo prevents my hair from falling victim to brassiness and leaves me looking like the 100% natural blond I used to be.

A bleach blond's best friend.

The best-smelling hair care on the market offers lightweight hold and genuinely game-changing anti-frizz effects, and it makes blow-drying a breeze (pun intended).

Because chemical cuts happen to the best of us and we need all the repair we can get.

Not your regular hair spray. Adds zero crunch but a heavy dose of healthy shine to your locks.

I've been using this since I got a full bleach, and I think my hair would be in shambles if I hadn't. It works in three minutes, washes out with no hassle, is lightweight, and has my hair feeling stronger with every use.

I'm humidity's No. 1 hater. A couple sprays of this semi-permanent treatment before heat-styling, and you're frizz-free on the dampest of days.

Whenever my hair starts feeling a little straw-adjacent, I use this. I notice a glossy difference after one wash.

I just love a little device. This one helps products better penetrate my skin and feels like a fun — and productive — science project at the end of the night.

Do I understand the science behind how it works? Not at all. Does it work? I really do think so.

All the power of a classic Dyson, now in a handy, lightweight style that can make it into your suitcase (well, at least your checked bag) if you insist on a blow-dry while OOO.

We're not all coordinated enough to give ourselves traditional blowouts... Get the same (or dare I say bettter) effect with this thermal brush with aloe-infused bristles and negative ions for frizz-free, bombshell hair.

I try to avoid straighteners at all costs because I find them too drying and stiffening, so finding this was like striking gold. The steam from this brush brings moisture back into the hair, minimizes breakage, and leaves my hair free-flowing (think a horse's mane blowing in the wind).

As I've matured past my mid-twenties, I've come to terms with the fact that a good makeup brush is worth the investment. This one makes blending foundation easy and leaves behind zero streaks, even in a rush.

Not only is this just the coolest looking piece of hair tech I own (truly a gadget), but man does it get the job done! No more sleeping with damp hair for me. I use it with GHD's Curly Hair Diffuser for quick-dry styling.

For perfect, so-curly-they-don't-need-mascara curled lashes, look no further.

No matter how thick or curly the hair, it's no match for GHD.

I was a red-light skeptic, but after just a week of use, I was hooked. Any pimples or redness I picked up during a day in the city were no match for the efficacy of the robot-looking mask.
