Local experts dish on what products they can’t get enough of.
“BY TERRY Hyaluronic Hydra-Powder is a loose, translucent powder containing hyaluronic acid that helps your skin maintain optimum moisture levels throughout the day so your makeup stays put and never looks dry. It really leaves your skin looking flawless and smooth.”
– Merry Kline, Belle & Blush
“The creamy formula of CHANTECAILLE Lip Chic is ultra hydrating. Designed as a hybrid between a lipstick and lip gloss, the payoff is a rich color with just the right touch of sheen. It’s my go-to for finishing off every makeup look.”
– Carly Westerman, Pout
“By far the most incredible product I have put on my skin is the Ecological Compound by SISLEY PARIS. This product is a moisturizer for all skin types, is all you’ll need besides cleanser and can be used by men or women. It’s lightweight, hydrating, for all ages and makes my skin feel like silk. It has been one of Sisley’s top selling products for the last 30 years, and you know you can’t go wrong if legions of French women swear by it.”
– Augusta Andrews, B.Barnett
“I searched for the perfect lipstick for years. Most lipsticks were dry and required a gloss on top, so when I stumbled upon Gen Nude Radiant Lipstick from BAREMINERALS, it quickly became my favorite. It’s creamy, hydrating and has a lovely satin finish. The colors were specifically developed to complement all skin tones in a range of nudes perfect for everyday wear.”
– Lori Wenger, makeup artist
“My new favorite product is DARPHIN’s Ideal Resource Youth Retinol Oil Concentrate. Each pearl is filled with a single application for nightly use. It is such a treat to pamper myself with the silky smooth feeling and fresh scent. I wake with my skin softer and brighter. I was reluctant to use a retinol product because my skin is so sensitive, but I can even use it under my eyes! I love it.”
– Jerri Van Dyke, Feinstein’s
“I love JANE IREDALE’S Smooth Affair Facial Primer and Brightener either formulated for oily or dry to normal skin. It’s a primer that is perfect for everyday or special occasions to smooth out lines and reduce the appearance of pores to bring out your natural radiance. It makes skin look flawless.”
– Vicki Vick, Advanced Aesthetics of Arkansas
“BECCA’s dual-purpose Skin Love Glow Shield Prime & Set Mist can be used to prime your skin and to set your makeup. It keeps your makeup looking dewy and fresh, and it also smells so good!”
– Merry Kline, Belle & Blush
“NATURA BISSÉ’s Diamond Life Infusion Youth Biomarker Serum is the ‘Benjamin Button’ effect in a bottle. You can’t live without it. It slows down the aging process, diminishes fine lines and wrinkles and literally lifts and firms your skin. It works from the inside out so the more you use it, the more it helps your skin.”
– Bridget Baltimore, Barbara/Jean
“I cannot get enough of CHANEL’s Le Lift Serum, and neither can my clients. Not only does it look uber chic, smell and feel heavenly, its powerful, patented ingredients guarantee instant and long lasting results. Botanical alfalfa concentrate smooths as effectively as retinol, yet gently. Black peppermint provides the most effective antioxidants. Skin looks amazing and so close to camera-ready, who needs a primer?”
– Constance Canfield, Dillard’s
“Aside from my lash extensions, I have to have an RMS BEAUTY Lip2Cheek handy at all times. My go-to is ‘Illusive,’ but all the shades are amazing. This little jar tackles both cheeks and lips, and the richly pigmented cream formula gives a healthy, long-lasting glow. And they’re super hydrating, too. Did I mention you only need fingers to apply? So easy!”
– Tessa Wilmans, Winc Beauty
