October’s Best New Beauty Launches Are Multi-Tools For Your Makeup Kit

This mascara looks a little unusual, but that’s because the brush’s bendable little tail is actually a cat eyeliner stamp-eyeliner pen-mascara styling tool all in one. Using the new wand shape calls for a bit of imagination and handy work, but once you figure it out, your eyes will have never looked cooler.

Who needs an eyeshadow palette, when a prismatic liquid shadow can give you the depth, dimension, and sparkle in a tube. Just swipe on and blend it out with your finger and you’ll look like a makeup pro.

Desert Island Duo is an apt name for this product, but On-The-Go Duo or I-Only-Have-Five-Minutes Duo would also make sense. These coordinated blush and bronzer sticks take all of the guess work out of enhancing (or faking) a healthy glow—and you don’t even need a brush.

Limited edition Laneige Sleeping Mask flavors are like collector’s items at this point—provided you don’t use them up too quickly. This season’s new Caramel Apple flavor will keep your lips soft and moisturized all fall and winter long, while reminding you of a delicious holiday treat.

I’m loving these cream and powder shadow stick duos for creating soft, diffused smoky eyes in seconds. Not only are they available in the usual gray and brown shades, but they also have colors like bright blue and purple to effortlessly expand your makeup horizons.

Faux lash-phobes and fans alike need to give these a shot. The pre-bonded sticky lashes are genius— just push them up into the underside of your lashes and you’re done. I wore them to a wedding and not only did they last all night (tears included), but I never had to worry for a second about lifting glue or wonky looking lashes.

When the eye cream counterpart to the A.G.E Age Interrupter Advanced cream launched, it had a lot to live up to in terms of line softening and plumping. It rises to that challenge, plus it contains caffeine and optical diffusers to immediately improve the look of tired eyes as the formula get to work on dark circles.

Sometimes it seems a lipstick is a lipstick is a lipstick. But RMS’s new formula is more— part lipstick, part lip stain serum, these deliver juicy color and a satin finish, yet somehow feels like your lips without anything on them.

Olive & June is known for providing the tools for super speedy at-home manis, from quick dry polishes to easy press-on nails. But for the extra indecisive or anyone who wants to change out their nail color with their outfit, now there’s even a faster way. The Super Stick Mani, pops on with damage-free sticky tabs and when you’re done, you simply peel them off. No smudges, no soaking, just 31 options to choose from and change out.

I’m not above falling into the trap of overdoing it with actives in my skin care, but this Murad serum acts like a safety net. I layer it with everything to keep my skin from getting dry or flaky, and in fact, my skin has been bouncier and more even since I started the bottle.
