The Look Awards

After a year of testing, we name the best skincare, haircare, makeup, and wellness products

Vintner’s Daughter

$195

Active Botanical Serum

I turn to this oil whenever my skin and nerves need soothing. It takes care of surface redness and irritation, leaving behind the comforting scent of herbs and flowers. From there, it travels into my cells and then to my soul.

(Plated) Skin Science

$258

Regenerative Exosome Daily Serum

An actual medical breakthrough from scientists at the Mayo Clinic is behind this antioxidant-rich formula that spurs skin cells to produce more collagen and elastin, resulting in reduced wrinkles, redness, and brown spots.

Avène

$42

Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream

This barrier cream is ideal for adults and their injury-prone children—or anyone who gets itchy or red (a French pharmacist recommended it to relieve bug bites). It contains a postbiotic extract that benefits the skin’s microbiome.

Susanne Kaufman

$70

Bath Oil for the Senses

A bath soak that also functions as decor, this ylang-ylang, patchouli, and lavender blend is deeply relaxing and skin-softening. The extracts come from Kaufmann’s retreat in Austria and smell like clean mountain air.

Sol de Janeiro

$38

Rio Radiance SPF 50 Body Oil

A pleasure to apply, this tuberose-scented formula gives skin a boost with patauá oil, and golden mica adds a beautiful shimmer. The sexiest sunscreen in the arsenal.

Tata Harper

$88

Regenerating BHA Exfoliating Cleanser

A gentler and more effective version of the St. Ives Apricot Scrub that got so many of us through the ’90s, this exfoliates with apricot microspheres, and leaves skin smooth and refreshed.

Patrick Ta

$38

Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo

Apply this highly-pigmented duo with restraint, as Ta demonstrates in his viral TikTok videos. He presses the cream to the apples of the cheeks, then dusts the powder on top to set everything and add a layer of slightly softening color.

Oura

$349

Horizon Ring

This hard-working device has the power to change the way you sleep, eat, drink, and relax. Instead of letting it rule your life, use it to make informed decisions like forgoing late-night meals and turning off that reading light early.

Clinique

$25

Almost Lipstick in Black Honey

Everyone loved it in the ’90s and now it’s time to fall back in love. The texture is smooth, not sticky or thick, the tint is flattering on everyone, and the bullet is made for applying blindfolded. A Goldilocks dream.

Chanel

$48

Rouge Coco Flash

This is a you-only-better lipstick with soothing oils and shade names—Easy, Live, Move, Jour, Moment—that convey their laid-back appeal. The result is comfortable, shiny enhancement.

Sarah Creal

$40

Back of the Cab Mascara

A long-wearing mascara in a chrome case that looks like something by Frank Gehry. The tubing mascara formula gives lashes a glossy length without flaking or smearing, hugging the lashes and then sliding off easily with warm water.

R + Co Bleu

$42

Root Booster Volume Spray

Adding volume to fine hair is like making a souffle: You want the mixture to rise gracefully, softly, never stiffly. My favorite new volumizer is both lightweight and powerful enough to add oomph and lift to my droopy fine hair. Voila!

Oribe

$49

Shampoo for Beautiful Color

Can a shampoo feel like a luxury? This one does. And it smells rich, too, with bergamot, jasmine, and sandalwood. The formula is gentle, keeping hair color (and that delicious scent) from washing out with the suds.

Hermès

$170

Barénia Eau de Parfum

My favorite new scent is this blend of citrus and oak wood that has an appealing a hint of sweetness. It’s warm and comforting, despite its cool, spiky bottle, which is modeled after the Hermès dog collar bracelet.

Augustinus Bader

$430

Skin Infusion

A more intense version of the now-classic Augustinus Bader cream, this is designed to counteract the drying effects of harsh climate or the irritation of lasers, microneedling, peels, and the like. It’s a rich, powerful skin indulgence.

Ilia

$36

Multi-Stick Blush + Lip Tint

A true multipurpose stick that gives the most natural, gentle flush to cheeks and lips with a tap, tap, tap of your finger. Slip it in your pocket, your evening bag, your carry-on and keep moving.

Victoria Beckham Beauty

$34

Satin Kajal Liner

The smooth glide of this pigment-rich liner is all you need for a dramatic effect. The formula is creamy and soft—and wildly popular, with one selling every 30 seconds, according to rumor.

Charlotte Tilbury

$25

Lip Cheat

I’ve never been a big fan of lip pencils until I tried this one from Charlotte Tilbury. Use it on the rim of your lips then scribble it in the middle and apply lip gloss or lipstick on top. Then dare it to move (it won’t).

Jones Road

$26

The Mascara

This might be the perfect mascara: The properly thick formula goes on with a curved brush that catches every lash. I can sweep on coat upon coat without ending up with one fused mess.

La Bonne Brosse

$138

No. 1 L’Universelle

Selecting a hairbrush from this gorgeous collection starts with an online diagnosis of your hair and scalp, which results in a match to an array of bristle types and shiny delightful colors.

T3

$190

AireBrush Duo

This tool changed my fractious relationship with my hair. When I have to pull myself together quickly, I zip the heated round brush through my damp hair, and three minutes later, I’m out the door with a respectable blowout.

Chanel

$52

Joues Contraste Intense

Blush is having a moment, and this cream-to-powder formula is the best way to celebrate. Rub on the intense pigment with your fingers and watch as it transforms into a velvety glow. Try Rouge Franc for a feverish throb or Rose Radiant for subtle warmth.

Makeup By Mario

$50

Master Mattes Eyeshadow Palette

Mario Dedivanovic got his start on the Sephora sales floor before becoming Kim Kardashian’s makeup artist–so he knows his way around a neutral palette. This result: All that experience and every shade of matte nude in one perfect package.

Dior

$270

La Collection Privé

This box of cool, under-the-radar fragrances from Dior is full of temptations and surprises. The small bottles are perfect for experimentation and travel. Pay special attention to Gris Dior, Bois d’Argent, and Ambre Nuit.

Supergoop

$48

Superscreen Hydrating Cream

This is just the way I like my sunscreen: Mindless. I slap on this SPF 40 cream before my morning walk/coffee/grocery run for moisturizing protection without a trace of ick.

Westman Atelier

$68

Vital Skin Foundation Stick

I’ve always loved foundation sticks—so much that I created a makeup line centered around them. Gucci Westman’s are the best of the bunch: Creamy, seamless, and variable in intensity. I wish I’d made them myself.
