Brace yourself: August 2022 was a big month for beauty. The launches were plentiful—our “Best New Beauty Launches” list is *never* this long. And more importantly, all the new-to-market makeup, haircare, and skincare products were damn good. With every shower session, swatch, and self-care day came a new obsession—and wild results. Some Marie Claire editors found the solution to their perpetually dry skin, while others discovered a new cult-favorite bronzer perfect for an end-of-summer sun-kissed glow. As for me? I can’t stop singing the praises for Live Tinted’s new nude lipstick or playing with my shiny, new NuFace. 

Alas, that’s just the tip of the beauty iceberg. Brands reformulated cult-favorites (lookin’ at you Glow Recipe) to be better than ever, released their biggest drop of the year (shoutout Lancôme), and even entered new categories (Tory Burch’s new perfume gets five stars!). To see what our team has been loving—and shop for yourself all the while—scroll ahead.
