We road-tested a lot of today's top beauty products—from makeup to skincare—to figure out what's actually worth adding to your everyday routine. Here are the six stand-out picks that topped our list this month. Best Beauty Products December 2022 Dior Rouge Dior Forever Transfer-Proof Lipstick Buy on Sephora This worth-it splurge is so weightless, I forget I’m wearing lipstick. The matte color lasts through cocktails and kisses yet feels comfy, thanks to hydrating peony extract. Dae Monsoon Moisture Conditioner Buy on Sephora Most conditioners leave my fine, curly, postpartum hair (waah!) sad and flat. This desert-botanical blend gives me softer, shinier strands with lots of life while turning my shower into a little oasis. Peach & Lily Peptide Pro Firming Moisturizer Buy on Ulta If you want tighter skin (um, I do!), you’ll want this peptide-packed cream, which delivers results rivaling pricey in-office treatments (for real). It smooths, lifts, and layers beautifully under makeup. Hourglass Ambient Lightning Edit Unlocked Collection Buy on Sephora These palettes feature blushes, bronzers, and highlighters for your eyes and cheeks. And 5 percent of proceeds benefit animal rights! Drench Bar In-Shower Lotion Bar Buy on Drenchbar.com I keep this waterless, cocoa butter-based bar in the shower and massage it in for smoother skin, no rinsing needed. It helps soothe my razor burn, and it's concentrated, so it uses less plastic than bottled lotion. Hypercorrect Intense Fading Cream Buy on Amazon I apply this after cleansing and rinse after 15 minutes—my hyperpigmentation is noticeably lighter. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback!
