Velvet Revolution
Richly pigmented and long-wearing, with a luxe satiny feel, these new lipsticks will inspire you to go to the matte. They’re bursting with hydrators like hyaluronic acid and natural oils, and coat lips in color without that papier-mâché finish. Make an artful statement with MAC Cosmetics Velvet Matte Lipstick ($17.50; MACCosmetics.com), Butter London Plush Rush Satin Matte Lipstick ($22; ButterLondon.com), L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Matte Lipstick ($9; drugstores), or Guerlain KissKiss Matte Lipstick ($37; Sephora.com).

Greatest Kits
To commemorate the 20th anniversary of late makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin’s iconic book, Making Faces, his namesake brand recently introduced the Making Faces Beauty Book ($75; KevyNaucoin.com), a collection of three magnetized palettes with illustrated step-by-steps of the legend’s best-loved looks. Aucoin worked with big celebrities but believed every woman could look like a star. This set has everything you need—eight eyeshadows, two blushes, three eyeliners, two highlighters, and a bronzer—to pull it off beautifully.

Scents of Wonder
What does green or orange or fuchsia smell like? This is the question Givaudan perfumers attempted to answer with the Kate Spade New York Truly Collection ($65 for each 2.5-ounce bottle; Ulta.com), a magical suite of fragrances designed to evoke the essences of four distinct hues. We’re partial to Truly Gracious, with its fresh notes of bamboo leaves and lotus blossom. Or if you need a lift, spritz on the peppy blood orange, turmeric, and cardamom of Truly Joyful. Color us spellbound.

Feelin' Grove-y
It’s peak season for tart, vitamin C–rich fruit, and not just in the grocery aisle. These products are like superfood for your face: Peach Slices Citrus-Honey Aqua Glow ($12; PeachAndLily.com) is a lightweight gel that brightens with orange and grapefruit peel oils. The naturally derived acids in Found Three Lime Blend Face Serum ($12; Walmart.com) gently exfoliate and refine. And for a hefty dose of protective antioxidants, try the Frudia Pomegranate Nutri-Moisturizing Toner ($14.50; PeachAndLily.com), which swaps water for 87 percent pomegranate extract.
