You name it, this multistick can handle it no problem. The buildable, blendable formula works for your eyes, lips, and cheeks to add a tint of pigment that can also help counteract the look of dark circles and hyperpigmentation. It’s packed with hydrating hyaluronic acid, nourishing squalane, and vitamins C and E, yet somehow manages to feel totally weightless on your skin.

Instant radiance is totally possible thanks to this long-wearing liquid highlighter. It uses superfine pigments to give a lit-from-within glow (no obvious shimmer here!), and a combo of hyaluronic acids and fruit extracts to help hydrate, brighten, and refine your skin over time. Use it like a highlighting primer underneath makeup, mix a few drops into your base, or tap a thin layer to your highpoints (cheekbones, brow bones, bridge of nose, and Cupid’s bow).

This flat iron does so much more than create sleek strands. It helps you skill those perfectly coiled flat iron curls, bouncy beach waves, and smooth straight hair with just one nifty tool. Use it like a flat iron and curling iron. To curl, clamp a small section at the root and slide downwards in a twisting motion. The more you twist, the tighter the curl. To straighten, clamp hair at the roots and slide downwards without twisting.
