4 essential beauty products
“Most of us come out of the summer ever so slightly dehydrated, with a smidge too much sun exposure,” said Vicky Tsai, founder of Japanese-inspired skin-care brand Tatcha. The San Francisco-based brand is a favorite for stars including Salma Hayek Pinault and Catherine ZetaJones. Tsai recommended Tatcha’s the Essence Plumping Skin Softener, released in 2017. “The No. 1 thing you can do for that is a combination of exfoliation, gentle and deep, along with (using) antioxidants, which will help neutralize some of the free radicals caused from sun exposure. The formula that we have that would do that best for you in one product is called the Essence. The formula is a double fermentation of green tea, rice and seaweed and instantly it increases hydration of the skin about 140%.” Available at sephora.com and tatcha.com.

The arrival of the cooler months means it’s a good time to update your beauty routine by adding some fresh items to your vanity. With this in mind, that’s how we ended up at the Sephora House of Beauty event last month in Los Angeles. The beauty expo included Instagram-worthy installations, meet-and-greets, master classes, exclusive new products and beauty services.
We wandered the expo looking for must-have items for fall. Here’s what caught our eye.
Briogeo’s original Don’t Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Hair Mask was awarded an Allure Readers’ Choice Award last year. Its refreshed hair mask is a new take — it has the addition of organic honey on a fan-favorite product. The limited-edition honey mask comes in a bearshaped container similar to the honey bear bottles seen at grocery stores. This hair mask is suited for very dry hair, especially hair that has been damaged by a long, hot summer. Available at sephora.com and briogeohair.com.
This new water-based, clean eye shadow is a fun, user-friendly way to experiment with bold color. Just swipe the tube for a pop of color that doesn’t crease, and it stays on all day. Kosas’ formula is said to contain skin-friendly ingredients to help the eyelid area. Just think: A shimmery eye shadow in a bright color might allow you to glide into the holiday season in a festive way. Available at nordstrom.com and kosas.com.
In the way that the leaves change color this time of year, so should your lipstick color. In the summer, a clear gloss or a subtle pink is ideal for the beach. However, with cooler weather, fall fashion and holiday parties, you might want a richer, bolder lip. Charlotte Tilbury’s Matte Revolution lipstick line offers a selection of deep burgundy, berry and red in a matte finish that could spice up your fall beauty routine. Available at sephora.com and nordstrom.com.
