Special Effects
The shocking pink bottle belies the subtlety of the flush you get from Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire Lip & Cheek Tint ($35; Sephora.com). Apply the liquid with the nail polish–style brush, then blend with your fingers: The rose-colored dye in the formula reacts to your skin’s pH to create your own individual lipcolor or blush. Customization at its prettiest!
Powder Point
Straight from the “What will they think of next?” file: a lipcolor in a texture that offers a new dimension. Sephora Collection Lip Powder ($12 each; Sephora.com) is a pearlized pigment in, yes, a powdery formula that gives your lips a matte metallic finish. I dab it over a gloss to get a richer look, like a slightly shimmery eyeshadow. Powder up in six shades, from nude to bright red.
Foam Alone
Froth seems to be having a moment, turning up in all kinds of products. I’ve been a bar-soap person my whole life, but not long ago I was curious enough to try Dove Shower Foam ($6; drugstores), which I’m happy to report has not only elevated my morning routine with luxurious lather, but also softened my very dry skin. For more frothfest fun, try Supergoop! Super Power Sunscreen Mousse SPF 50 ($34; Sephora.com), a fast-absorbing, water-resistant formula, or the new Ouai Haircare Dry Shampoo Foam ($28; TheOuai.com), for a just-washed look without residue.
