33 Spring Beauty Launches We're Already Obsessed With
Apart from the very welcome influx of warmer weather, one thing we really love about spring is the barrage of new beauty products waiting to be tested. This season, it seems beauty brands have completely outdone themselves with new products that up the ante in just about every category. We’re talking makeup, skin care, and hair care.

“When it comes to liquid lipsticks, I’ve always struggled finding a formula that: A. doesn’t dry my lips out, B. doesn’t crack or flake off throughout the day, and C. can be layered without getting clumpy. Jouer’s lip crèmes are the only liquid lipsticks that tick all those boxes. The formula is so light, I find myself forgetting I even have anything on my lips at all. And the shade range is spectacular — 16 hues that include beautiful tawny browns and vibrant reds, like this one.” — Mi-Anne Chan, beauty editorial assistant

Jouer Long-Wear Lip Crème Liquid Lipstick, $18, available at Jouer Cosmetics.
“TBH, I’m mostly into this sunscreen for the glistening Edward Cullen effect it leaves my mug with (who said sunscreens have to be all about that annoying white cast?). It truly gives brand-new, sparkly meaning to standing in the sun.” — Taylor Bryant, beauty news editor
Dr. Jart+ UV Illuminating Sunscreen, $34, available at Sephora.
“Even though I’m a beauty editor, I haven’t mastered most of the makeup skills you’d expect me to. One of these was contouring — I just found it way too complicated and confusing. But then, I was handed Make Up For Ever’s Pro Sculpting Palette (and properly berated for starting my contour a bit too low on my cheekbones) and the whole thing clicked for me. The palette includes a highlight, a strobe, a contour, and a blush — all in cream formulations, so it makes it super easy to blend. Pop it in your makeup bag and you’ll be able to beat your face anywhere, any time.” — Maria Del Russo, beauty editor
Make Up For Ever Pro Sculpting Palette, $45, available at Make Up For Ever.

“This isn’t your average bland-brush mascara. Twist the top and the brush bends and straightens — transforming into your shape of choice, depending on your lash needs.” — Taylor Bryant, beauty news editor

“Revlon recently launched an incredible line of super-soft brushes. Although they are all top quality and pick up a generous amount of pigment, the brand’s contour brush is my favorite because of it’s tapered bristles, which make it easy to sculpt my cheekbones.” — Mi-Anne Chan, beauty editorial assistant
Revlon Contour Brush, $10.19, available at Target.

“The squishy sponge applicator is so fun to use, but it’s the super-hydrating blend of oils that has me hooked. It’s just as effective as an industrial-strength lip balm, but wayyyy sexier.” — Cat Quinn, beauty director
Lancôme Juicy Shaker, $21, available April 21 at Lancôme.
“As the unofficial expert on all things lippie here at R29, there’s this moment that I like to call lipstick Nirvana. It’s that moment when the pigment on your lips has faded quite a bit — whether it’s from eating, drinking, or making out with a beautiful stranger — but you’re not left with that ugly ring around the perimeter of your pout. Instead, the lipstick leaves behind a ghostly stain that looks amazing. Well, Glossier has managed to package lipstick Nirvana, so you can swipe it on straight out of the tube. Generation G gives you a matte wash of color over your lips that is the perfect daytime look. I’ll be wearing it all spring.” — Maria Del Russo, beauty editor

Glossier Generation G Matte Lipstick, $18, available at Glossier.
“I am fully on the color correcting train, but I am also the laziest person ever when it comes to makeup. A few swirls of this powder corrects my ruddy undertones without requiring me to color-map my entire face at 8 a.m.” — Cat Quinn, beauty director
Givenchy Prisme Libre in Mousseline Pastel, $54, available at Sephora.
