As the days get longer and the weather gets warmer, it’s time to switch up your skincare and beauty routine for spring. This month has been full of exciting product launches and fresh innovations, and InStyle editors have tried and recommended the best ones on the market. From new fragrances to retinol alternatives, here are the top seven beauty picks we cannot stop raving about.
First up is the Milk Makeup Pore Eclipse Matte Setting Spray. While dewy finishes are popular in the beauty world, matte products have their place too. This setting spray provides a gorgeous photo finish and ensures your makeup doesn’t cross the line from glowy to oily. It has all the staying power of Milk’s viral Hydro Grip, with a subtle matte finish that lasts all day.
Tatcha’s newest product, The Silk Serum Wrinkle-Smoothing Retinol Alternative, provides all the skin-smoothing benefits of retinol without irritation. Made with retinol alternative ingredients such as sea fennel, this serum helps with natural skin turnover and contains silk protein and up-cycled cranberry to give you brighter, firmer, and plumper skin.
For those with oily lids, the Hourglass Voyeur Eyeshadow Stick is a game-changer. The cream formula is crease-resistant and packs on color with a shimmery finish that’s loaded with pigment. One swipe is all you need with these pretty desert-inspired eye shades. It comes in seven shades, but the olive green shade named Aurora is especially stunning.
Sundays just dropped its Pearl Collection, containing three pearlescent shades to give your nails a soft shimmer and color. Our favorite is the iridescent white pearl, which goes on almost like a soft silver with a glazed shine. It’s just so pretty.
Relevant Skin’s 13 Stems Eau de Parfum is inspired by growth from a strong foundation and smells like a garden after a summer rain, with notes of French mimosa and violet leaf. It’s green, lush, and complex, leaving you wanting more. The cheerfully vibrant bottle would make an elegant, earthy statement on any vanity.
Sisley Paris Les Eaux Rêvées D’Isa Eau de Toilette is a warm and bright mix of mandarin, pink berries, jasmine, and green tea that really perks up all your senses and fills you with excitement. It’s part of the brand’s new fragrance line Les Eaux Rêvées, a collection of six light and fragrant waters made with dreamy spice, floral, and earth notes.
Lastly, for those looking for a gentle exfoliator, the Tarte Knockout Daily Exfoliating Cleanser is the perfect choice. It’s made with natural fruit-derived AHA/BHA exfoliants, making it gentle enough for daily use without any irritation. It leaves your skin feeling smooth, bright, and refreshed.
In conclusion, these are the seven beauty products we highly recommend you try out for spring. Whether you’re looking for a new fragrance or a retinol alternative, these products are all tried and tested by InStyle editors and are sure to leave your skin and nails feeling and looking amazing.
