Professional Beauty Experts can’t stop raving about these under the radar makeup and skincare products.


Do you have your finger on the pulse of the beauty industry? Pride yourself on knowing all about the latest and greatest innovations? The ever-evolving beauty scene never fails to impress us, and some of the hottest products on the market improve on tried-and-true formulas, so you can look and feel your best daily.

The following five makeup and skincare products are prized for their ability to perform flawlessly – whether you’re glamming it up for a night out on the town or slipping between the sheets while slugging. We’ve got the goods on retinol alternatives, senescent cells, and stem cells, too.

And these winning products have all been road tested and reviewed by trusted beauty professionals, so you can feel confident knowing these gems deliver the goods – smooth, hydrated, glowing skin.

Anisa Beauty Pinnacle Foundation Blush

Anisa Beauty’s Pinnacle Foundation Brush

If you follow beauty influencers on social media, you’ve probably seen Anisa Beauty’s Pinnacle Foundation Brush. The triangular brush head features densely packed synthetic bristles that blend and buff base makeup like a dream. Whether you wear liquid or cream foundation, the silky, soft, flexible bristles distribute pigment flawlessly without any telltale streaks. And get ready to save money on foundation because this artisan tool makes the most of very little product, so you can look amazing while using less makeup.

Kosterina Extra Virgin Body Oil

Kosterina’s Extra Virgin Body Oil

Is your skin begging for love? Kosterina’s Extra Virgin Body Oil replenishes lost hydration while fighting free radicals. The luxurious blend of squalane, pomegranate, rosehip, grapeseed, and, of course, extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) gives skin a healthy glow without making it feel greasy. Apply it on slightly damp skin after showering to seal in moisture, and don’t forget to massage it into your hands, cuticles, and feet.

Versed Sweet Relief Overnight Barrier Balm

Versed Sweet Relief Overnight Barrier Balm

When wild winds start whipping, tender facial skin can be depleted of its natural moisture. Sweet Relief Overnight Barrier Balm from Versed transforms from a dense balm into a soft, occlusive cream that prevents water loss while enriching skin with seed butters and apricot kernel oil. If you’re a fan of slugging, or have seen it on Instagram or TikTok, layer this intensive balm over your nighttime moisturizer instead of using petroleum jelly. The cream is surprisingly breathable and helps support your skin’s barrier while you sleep.

Pro Tip: If you’re looking for an occlusive cream to use after an aesthetic procedure, like a laser treatment, Sweet Relief is far more aesthetically pleasing than Aquaphor. Just make sure your derm signs off on the plan in advance.

Clearstem Hydraglow Stem Cell Moisturizer

Clearstem Hydraglow Stem Cell Moisturizer

Looking for a restorative cream that delivers retinol results without the retinol? The Clearstem Hydraglow Stem Cell Moisturizer pairs rejuvenating stem cells with retinol-alternative bakuchiol and moisturizing squalane in a rich, but lightweight cream. Beauty Experts love its soft scent, smooth texture, spreadability, and acne-safe nature. Apply it day or night, and be sure to use sun protection if you’re heading outdoors.

Bluelene Night Plus+

Bluelene’s Night Plus+

What do you know about Methylene Blue? The fat-, lipid-, and water-soluble ingredient increases fibroblast production, which slows the proliferation of zombie cells (aka senescent cells). In people-speak, Methylene Blue hydrates and thickens the dermis simultaneously by triggering collagen and elastin production. Bluelene’s Night Plus+ is a power-packed night cream with serum built right in, so you can skip a step in your routine without sacrificing your results. Beauty Experts are raving about its ability to make skin look more refined and feel more elastic.
