Let’s be real here: I love a lot of the best makeup products. Having access to a robust, ever-evolving closet of trending beauty products means a bountiful flow of options—which I’d say is both a pro and a con. The positive side being, of course, there are dozens of excellent cosmetics to enjoy at a variety of price points, beauty brands, and ingredient levels. The con? Whittling down such an impressive category into a list for you today.
Seriously, spotlighting the best makeup products so far of 2025 is quite the feat—and not just from a beauty editor’s POV. So, to help out a bit, I turned to my fellow beauty editors to pick their brains. Maybe I’m selfishly asking them for their secrets (hoping to steal a beauty tip or two), but at least I’m not gatekeeping their recs! There’s foundations so natural-looking they wear like a second skin, lip products galore, glowy skin tints, weightless concealers, and more.

Best Skin Tint: Chanel Les Beiges Water-Fresh Complexion Touch
- Why We Love It: “For a skin perfecting product that feels like absolutely nothing on your face, it’s impossible to beat Chanel’s Complexion Touch. Every time I use this skin tint, I’m amazed at how much coverage I get despite how thin the formula is—my skin looks flawless, and there’s never any product buildup or pilling. It’s made with 60% water and mixed with hyaluronic acid and botanical extracts—all of which combine for a serum-gel texture. The finish is almost completely undetectable for a truly your-skin-but-better look.” —Conçetta Ciarlo, beauty shopping writer
- Key Ingredients: Hyaluronic acid, tamarind seed oil, jasmine extract
- Type: Skin tint
- Finish: Natural

Best Lip Liner: Make Up For Ever Lip Liner
- Why We Love It: “Long live Make Up For Ever’s lip liner in 608 Limitless Brown! It’s truly one of those versatile makeup must haves that work on a range of skin tones. I started using it to line my lips (I simply cannot live without a chocolatey liner), but realized you can use it around the face as well—it’s creamier and more buildable than you’d expect. When in a pinch, I use it for contour, eyeliner, and lip color in one go. I do not leave home without it.” —Kiana Murden, senior beauty shopping writer
- Key Ingredients: Hydrogenated palm glycerides, synthetic wax, kaolin
