See How IPSY Beauty Editors Are Building Their Perfect December Glam Bag Plus

Marta Topran, Senior Editorial Manager

1. Choice: COMPLEX CULTURE SET, GO • Translucent Finishing Powder

“The first thing I look for in a setting powder: Is it talc-free? This checks that box plus sets my makeup for hours without ever looking cakey or heavy. COMPLEX CULTURE makes my go-to powder brush, and now my go-to setting powder.”

2. TULA Go Away Acne Spot Treatment

“Mask acne (aka maskne) is real. I’ve been breaking out like crazy along my jawline and around my mouth and this zit-busting benzoyl peroxide formula is helping to calm things down without drying me out.”

3. Add-On: SUNDAY RILEY C.E.O. Vitamin C Rich Hydration Cream

“I could not be more excited to stock up on my fave face cream. The entire C.E.O. line is the best, especially for anyone looking to brighten hyperpigmentation like myself.”

Pia Bhattacharya, Senior Beauty Editor

1. Choice: CLARITYRX Glimmer of Hope Shimmering Facial Oil

“This stuff gives my thirsty winter skin hope (literally). I love that it absorbs quickly and leaves me with a nice, healthy glow—it’s just the boost my skin needs on cold, dry days.”

2. IL MAKIAGE Color Boss Multi-Dimensional Eye Color in Eyes on the Prize

“Right after I tried this I told all my friends about it. The texture is just so buttery and creamy, it’s become my every day gold shadow and goes with literally everything.”

3. Add-On: TARTE Big Ego Mascara

“Since I’m wearing a face mask everywhere, I love to keep my eye looks on point. This stuff is the real deal—it gets my fine lashes looking lifted and plump and it lasts all day.”

Hannah Cassidy, Beauty Editor

1. Choice: GO-TO Fancy Face

“Oil cleansers are my jam. I wear a physical tinted sunscreen every day, so double cleansing is a must—I love how easily this melts everything away!”

2. COMPLEX CULTURE FULL OUT Tinted Volumizing Brow Gel in Warm Blonde

“I have no shame going out in sweatpants and greasy hair, but I can NOT leave the house without my brows. This gel clings to every hair, giving me fuller, fluffier brows in no time.”

3. Add-On: BRIOGEO HAIR CARE Be Gentle, Be Kind Avocado + Kiwi Mega Moisture Mask

“I’ve gone through more DIY hair experiments in 2020 than is truly necessary. A protein mask that helps heal my mistakes? NEED.”

Maddie Aberman, Beauty Editor

1. Choice: SMITH & CULT Nail Lacquer in Bitter Cashmere Daydream

“Almost a year into no professional nail appointments, and I think I’ve officially nailed the at-home manicure. Now I want to expand my nail polish stash, starting with this minty color that works just as well in the winter as it will come spring.”

2. CIATÉ LONDON Watermelon Burst Pressed Setting Powder

“I’m all for a glowy complexion (I mean, who isn’t?!) but my combination skin still requires some setting powder. Enter this pressed powder from CIATÉ LONDON. It somehow sets my makeup and tames oil yet has never made my skin look cakey or dry.”

3. Add-On: COMPLEX CULTURE Rose Quartz Facial Toning Roller

“This time last year, I couldn’t find enough time in the day to do my full skincare routine let alone add in any beauty tools. Now, my middle name is self-care, and I find myself reaching for this roller nightly. Yes, it helps my products sink in and lifts and tones my face, but I mostly use it as a relaxing facial massage at the end of a long work from home day.”
