Whether your complexion is feeling dry and dull or your everyday makeup looks err on the side of boring, these just-launched products provide the perfect pick-me-up. Ahead, I break down the best new beauty must-haves that will help you put your freshest (and fiercest) face forward this season.
A Hydrating Skin Saver
Sol de Janeiro’s new body cream is the ideal companion to your wardrobe this spring. It’s made with cacao oil, plant-based collagen and plant squalene—rejuvenating ingredients that will help reverse the skin-dulling effects of winter just in time for more skin-baring tops and dresses.

A Soothing Serum
The latest launch from Summer Fridays is a lightweight jelly serum comprised of noncomedogenic humectants like glycerin and hyaluronic acid, plus a bunch of soothing ingredients including colloidal oatmeal, aloe and chamomile. It’s the perfect formula for hydrating your skin without making it look greasy.
A Quick Fix For Dryness
The latest addition to Dr. Dennis Gross’s Alpha Beta collection is a moisturizer that will help you get soft, supple and dewier-looking skin. It’s comprised of ceramides that bolster the moisture barrier plus gentle exfoliants that decongest pores.
Luxe New Lip Color
This new lip color from renowned makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic is likely to be the comfiest thing your lips have everfelt. The Ultra Suede Cozy Lip Creme has a velvety texture and is blended with rich emollients like passion fruit oil that give it a cushiony feel you wouldn’t typically expect from a matte pigment. And lucky for us, the unique formula comes in 12 nude-toned shades.
A Second-Skin Foundation
The way this foundation is formulated allows you to nix wearing a primer and not regret it. It’s waterproof and offers medium to full coverage in 40 shades, providing a smooth canvas, blurring out imperfections and helping skin retain its natural moisture.
An Innovative Face Mask
Clearing away dead skin cells and evening out skin texture can be quite the experiment, and Tatcha’s new clarifying face mask—made with grime-dissolving minerals and exfoliants—makes the process pretty fun to watch. As you rub the formula into your skin, it shifts in color from sage green to soft red while it works its skin-clearing magic.
A Glowing Cream Blush
Huda Beauty’s latest launch serves as a reminder: skin is still in. The brand’s new Cheeky Tint Cream Blush stick is a long-wearing formula that comes in five gorgeous shades to help achieve that lit-from-within glow. Unlike its powder counterparts, this creamy blush melts into the skin for a natural-looking finish.
A Hybrid Foundation
This serum foundation is available in 26 shades and contains squalene, which helps in balancing oil production—something that typically increases this time of year due to greater humidity. What’s even better is that it provides radiant medium coverage, and a little goes a long way.
A Game-Changing Moisturizer
You don’t have to wait long before you start singing this moisturizer’s praises. It noticeably softens, hydrates and plumps the skin almost instantly thanks to a distinct blend of ingredients (think: polyhydroxy acids, rose hip oil and butterfly bush). It’s super lightweight but also hydrating enough for dry skin.
