The Blush that Makes Contouring Foolproof (and 3 Other Beauty Finds)

In the Pink
I was afraid to jump on the contouring makeup bandwagon (way too much room for mistakes), but I changed my mind after trying the foolproof TrèStiQue Color & Contour Blush Stick in St. Barth's Pink ($34). Use it to draw a line of creamy color on the apples of your cheeks, then blend with the angled contour brush. Hello, cheekbones!


Oil Can
What can't the new René Furterer 5 Sens Enhancing Dry Oil ($52) do? The mix of five plant oils—including safflower, avocado and sweet almond—hydrates skin (and dries instantly), leaves you glowing and lightly scents with a gorgeous floral bouquet. You can even mist it on your hair to defrizz!


Shadow Play
Just in time for party season! Get the most dramatic smoky eye with one of these richly pigmented, shimmering shadows in four flattering shades (Bobbi Brown Sequin Eye Shadow, $36 each). Or, if you're feeling demure, swirl your eyeshadow brush over just the lightest part of the marbleized colors for a less intense look.
