The 2011 Spring Makeup O-wards: The Best New Beauty Products

Most Beautiful Garden of Color

Monet had nothing on the O beauty department after we laid out every last one of the season's new lipstick shades. Our four favorites:

1. The Pink Dahlia Distinction: L'Oréal Paris Infallible Le Rouge in Perennial Pink ($10; drugstores)

2. The Fuchsia Peony Prize: Laura Mercier Gel Lip Colour in Dollface ($22; lauramercier.com)

3. The Red Rose Ribbon: Lancôme L'Absolu Nu in Red Chiffon ($29; lancome-usa.com)

Best Split Personalities

Sometimes a little indecision can be very attractive. Take these two winners—they're not sure if they want to be softening balms or color-rich glosses. So they settled in between, leaving lips supple and kissed with color.

4. CoverGirl NatureLuxe Gloss Balm ($6; drugstores)

5. Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm ($7; drugstores)

Most Luscious Texture

Chanel always turns out glamorous-looking lipsticks. Their latest is also terrifically hydrating, perfectly luminous—and sure to convert the last of you "gloss only" holdouts. Choose from among 18 shades, beige to berry.
