The Best Skincare, Makeup, and Wellness Products for Fall 2024, According to Editors

“I never thought the quality of a hairbrush mattered until I used a really good one. It’s something about massaging the scalp and distributing the oils evenly, but I tend to be results oriented over process focused. This brush delivers. It also looks quite classically beautiful on a vanity.” —Stellene Volandes, Editor in Chief

“I have waxed lyrical about Dior serums before, and now I have a new one to love. The rebooted Dior Prestige Micro-Huile de Rose has a gel-like texture that turns silky when smoothed into skin, seemingly so light and airy that it can’t be doing anything… can it? Oh yes it can. The serum’s barrier-repairing prowess is so potent that skin heals twice as fast from laser treatments (trust me, I’ve put this to the test), and its rich omega content nixes dryness and gives the complexion a plumped-up, healthy glow.” —April Long, Beauty Director

“The best thing to do for your overall wellness is to give up alcohol. At least for a while, or, anyway, until it’s required to get through the holidays. But what to replace it with? The THC and CBD-enhanced sparkling water brand Cann is making delicious, refreshing and relaxing beverages that invite good vibes without the slightest hangover. How’s that for self-care?” —Erik Maza, Executive Style Director

“This luminous concealer—another great collab between Augustinus Bader and Victoria Beckham—is a home run: it provides enough coverage to conceal dark circles and redness, but it is also sheer enough to let skin glow through. Love the click pen applicator, too.” —April Long, Beauty Director

“As the weather cools down, this putty-colored cream becomes a skincare savior for my combination skin. It applies smoothly (no pilling under makeup!) and deeply hydrates, giving the dryness prone-spots on my complexion the protection they need to stay glowing and bouncy.” —Lauren Hubbard, Contributor

“If cold weather dries you out as much as it does me, there’s nothing like this new moisturizer from Valmont to help smooth out your skin.” —Adam Rathe, Deputy Features Director

“When all of the holiday beauty gift sets start arriving on shelves, I make sure to shop for friends—but also for myself. It’s a great way to stock up on beauty staples at a discount—or to try new products in smaller sizes. This season I have my eye on this set from Drunk Elephant, which already includes my go-to moisturizer.” —Caroline Hallemann, Digital Director

“This cleanser from Dr. Dennis Gross is refreshing and hydrating, and always makes my skin feel fresher.” —Emily Burack, Senior News Editor

“The perfect mascara? It exists. The new Sisley Phyto-Noir lifts, lengthens and thickens my sad stubby lashes with one swipe.” —April Long, Beauty Director

“This beauty gift set comes out near the holidays and I always make sure to stock up on them. The products vary from year to year but the value is always amazing and the presentation makes it a great gift for friends and myself!” —Chiun Lee, Deputy Design Director

“Someone impossibly chic pulled this out at dinner, and I couldn’t ask for the details and order one faster. It glides on creamy and smooth, and the customizable case makes it feel like a mini luxury tucked in your handbag. It’s currently top of my holiday gift-giving list.” —Claire Brito, Social Media Editor

“I’m someone who loves to try new makeup products, so I rarely buy a refill. This Estée Lauder foundation is something that I have restocked countless times. It’s so lightweight and comfortable to wear, it’s my go-to no matter what season it is!” —Tess Donlevie, Designer

“Nothing speeds up the aging process like winter dryness coupled with all the bad habits that come with holiday season (ie carbs, sugar, alcohol). Which is why I’m religiously pumping this Clarins serum, which promises to firm, smooth, plump, moisturize, and lift thanks to an impressive list of 22 plant extracts. So does this mean I can have my cake and eat it too?” —Leena Kim, Editor

“To escape the chaos of Paris Fashion Week, I got a facial with Cynthia Rivas for some relaxation. She used this Youth Eye Complex from IS Clinical and i had immediate results. It helped me look refreshed the rest of my trip.” —Dania Ortiz, Fashion & Accessories Director

“When the weather outside begins to dip, and more and more viruses are in the air and the cold temps mess with my breathing and skin type, I rely heavily on a humidifier. Canopy’s latest Bedside iteration doesn’t take up too much room on my nightstand (major if you live in NYC), is whisper quiet through the night, and helps beat dry skin, alleviate symptoms associated with a cough and cold, and fights airborne viruses.” —Sophie Dweck, Associate Shopping Editor

“These days, even when time feels extra short, I am prioritizing selfcare where I can. The perfect example of this is the Biotyspa Sculpt Kit, which I have been using for a bit of lymphatic drainage during my shower. I love it because sure, there are visible physical benefits, but mostly I love how it feels.”—Roxanne Adamiyatt, Deputy Digital Lifestyle Director

“To keep my skin youthful, fresh and firm, I love using Emma Lewisham’s Supernatural Vitale Elixir.” —MaryKate Boylan, Senior Fashion Editor
