14 Beauty Products InStyle Editors Are Loving Right Now (2024)

Where would I be without my trusty Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat pencil? No matter how rushed I am, I know I can rely on the creamy mate pigment to glide on smoothly and effortlessly for a fuller, more dimensional pout. This is true whether I want natural-looking definition or a slightly overdrawn look. The beloved Pillow Talk shades are perfect for a dreamy dusty rose vibe à la Brigitte Bardot. —Lauren Valenti, beauty director.

I'm the absolute worst at doing my nighttime skin-care routine. So if I'm gonna do it, I need to know there are as few steps as possible. That's why I love this five-in-one serum. Its made with exfoliatingsalicylic acid and lactic acid, soothing niacinamide​, moisturizing glycerin, and restorative peptides. With this serum alone and a bit of moisturizer, I'm properly prepped for beauty sleep.​ —Kara Jillian Brown, beauty editor

This night cream uses a retinol alternative called Peptilum® that's gentle and non-irritating (but still effective). I love that it pairs deep hydration with an active ingredient that targets skin texture, fine lines, and visible pores—a rare combination. While prescription retinols have historically left my skin flaky, bright red, and painfully sensitive, this product has never so much as tingled. Plus, it smells like a spa and leaves my skin immediately brighter. —Emily Kelleher, evergreen editor

This has quite literally been on my body since the day I got it. A new must in my body-care routine, I love it for two reasons. The first is the scent. It is the sweetest santal scent I have ever tried and layers beautifully under both woody and gourmand perfumes. But most importantly—my skin has never been this supple. Quickly absorbing into the skin, it leaves a silky feeling on me all day and night. —Zizi Strater, associate social media editor

The week leading up to Halloween is a less-than-ideal time to run out of makeup remover. But that didn’t stop me from finishing my latest bottle of Clinique’s tried-and-true cleansing oil. You can’t beat its silky texture and gentle yet magically waterproof-pigment-melting powers. —L.V.

This radiance-boosting serum has made its way into my daily rotation, thanks to it's powerhouse blend of rose water, camellia seed oil, hyaluronic acid, and ceramides. It gives my skin an immediate plump while flooding it with hydration. It's wonderful to use under makeup as it keeps my skin dewy all day long. –K.J.B.

I had been blowdrying my hair all wrong for years. Turns out, this cream is all I needed to transform my blow-dry process. A bit of this cream (which smells like heaven, by the way!) goes a long way and leaves my hair feeling smooth and healthy, keeps the frizz down and makes my blowout last longer. I’ve also been using it to air dry my hair, since it helps to tone down its natural frizz to reveal voluminous waves. —Frances Solá-Santiago, fashion editor

I’ve waxed poetic about the Haus Labs concealer (which also happens to be one ofInStyle’s 2024 Best Beauty Buyswinners), and I feel similarly obsessed with its foundation. From the expansive shade range to its lightweight, buildable, and creamy texture, it feels and looks imperceptible on the skin. It has a beautiful natural finish, whether you’re going for a no-makeup makeup look or a full-glam face. Leave it to Gaga, right?! —L.V.

This fabulous detergent makes laundry feel like less of a chore. I love its herbaceous blend of basil, sage, thyme, spearmint, and rosemary. And best of all—its plant-based surfactants leave my clothes clean and cared-for. —K.J.B.

This ultra-luxe face wash fights hyperpigmentation and plumps fine lines with a blend of collagen amino acids and line-smoothing vegan peptide called cacay. It also boasts 27 seed oils and plant extracts to deliver a hearty dose of antioxidants help fight oxidative damage triggered by pollution. It goes on as an oil but dissolves into a milk, removing stubborn makeup without leaving a residue. I look forward to using it each night. —E.K.

There’s nothing like the ease of a stick on the go, especially when said stick has a built-in brush. This blush is sheer and creamy, imparting a gorgeous, buildable color in shades ranging from bright pink to deep, rich plum. It has a soft, satin-like finish that’s just the right amount of luminous. I love using it on my lips and lids, too! —L.V.

This is what all flavored lip balms should strive to be—highly pigmented, never sticky, and delightfully sweet. It's packed with conditioning coconut oil, murumuru, and shea butter, leaving my lips soft and supple. I've especially been loving the shade Goji, a rich red that gives the perfect amount of color whether I'm keeping things light or donning a full face. —K.J.B.

I struggled for years to find a one-step solution for my curly hair, and this cream is exactly that. I love that it enhances my natural waves without leaving behind a crunchy or tacky feel on my strands, a problem I struggled with when trying other products. It works wonders on its own, but adding an anti-frizz cream also helps. —F.S.S.

Not to be dramatic, but I haven't been the same since this leave-in spray entered my life a little over a year ago. It lives up to its name and coats my strands in a sleeking, humidity shield for silky-straight strands thanks to its blend of a proprietary anti-humidity complex, radiance-boosting chamomilla, and moisturizing glycerin. —K.J.B.
