2022 left us with a bunch of incredible makeup products to bring into the new year, and there are just so many amazing things to try! From lip colors to full-coverage foundation, there seem to be a million new products to try out and keep up with. That’s why we’ve rounded up some of the best picks so that you can be sure to snag all of the best makeup in 2023.

This is one of Fenty Beauty’s best-selling products, and for good reason. In four fun, vibrant shades, this lip stain “goes on glossy and leaves behind a soft tint” so that you can have effortless, long-lasting color. It’s also super hydrating and promises to continue to hydrate your lips long after you apply it.
Since this is a stain, the color is not super easily removable. You can apply a layer, wipe a bit off, and you’ll be left with a natural—but bright—looking color to your lips. ‘Mai Type’ is probably the most popular color, but each shade is beautiful and unique on every skin tone!
Price: $28 (Standard Size; Mini Size $13)
One of the best things about ILIA’s products is they are a completely clean beauty brand; you can rest easy knowing that all of their products have all clean ingredients. This fan-favorite mascara is no exception! It’s a community favorite product, and when it comes to makeup, you really won’t find a better mascara.
This mascara really does it all; it promises to “lift, lengthen, hold curl, and separate with precision,” and no matter the length of your lashes, this product really will make them appear incredibly long and full. Ingredients include shea butter and beeswax to fully condition and nourish the lashes throughout the entire day.

Liquid blush is honestly the way to go, and Glossier has one of the best ones on the market. Glossier is known for their light, buildable makeup products, and the Cloud Paint is no different. This cream blush is easily buildable and comes in eight unique shades that fit any and every skin tone.
This product is slightly sheer and lightweight enough that it won’t give a highly pigmented look; Cloud Paint makes your blush look very natural, and it even has special blurring pigments to give your face a soft-focus effect that doesn’t make your pores as visible. This is definitely one of the best makeup products out there, and it’s one of Glossier’s best.

This makeup product went a bit viral on TikTok and was even voted the #1 concealer brand on the market. It has incredible reviews, and I can safely say that I haven’t met anyone who uses this product that doesn’t like it. The Shape Tape Concealer provides full coverage and a natural matte finish to make the skin appear both flawless and natural.
There are several amazing ingredients in this concealer that have different benefits; licorice root to brighten, shea butter to smooth, and mango butter to condition. It comes in thirty-five different shades for every skin tone imaginable, and no matter your skin type, this concealer promises to nourish and correct any blemishes.

This is probably one of the most famous makeup products of all time; the Pillow Talk shade is known for looking great on practically anyone, regardless of lip color or skin tone. You can get this lipstick in either Pillow Talk Original, Pillow Talk Medium, or Pillow Talk Intense; each shade looks a bit different on various skin types while still giving that iconic color and finish to the lip.
One Pillow Talk Lipstick gets sold every two minutes, and it’s an award-winning product that is beloved by everyone who tries it. This is definitely a makeup trend you’ll want to jump on this year of you haven’t already, and if you really want to up your game, pair it with the Pillow Talk Lip Cheat liner!

While this product is a bit on the expensive side, it’s totally worth every penny. This is one of my all-time favorite makeup products, and it even has SPF in it, so you can get your daily sunscreen by wearing this skin tint!

As far as powdered blushes go, this is one of the absolute best. It’s relatively new to the makeup market, but Dear Dahlia is known for their gorgeous colors and vibrant—yet natural-looking—pigments.
