Lipstick for futuristic parties, a long-lasting foundation with a care effect, a stick with blush and highlighter for dark-skinned women and other novelties of January have already been tried by the BeautyHack editors - honest impressions and illustrations are attached!
Cream lipstick Heart Crush Lipstick Melting, shade Cherry Lush, Holika Holika
Tested by BeautyHack editor Julia Kozoliy
This is not the first time I notice that lipsticks from Korean brands are very capricious when applied: creamy in a tube, they literally float, so some of them have long been prescribed in my refrigerator. And with Heart Crush, no miracle happened. With this "sissy" will have to cope: it is extremely difficult to make a clear contour, but it is ideal for creating a tint effect on the lips.
Soft, buttery (containing two types of oils - shea and apricot kernel), it glides on the lips, leaving a glossy finish, moisturizing effect and juicy berry shade. At the same time, the lipstick is not felt on the lips and is washed off neatly. Now she can easily replace the usual balm - moisturizing and nourishing the lips with interest!
Price: 890 rub.
Lipstick Color Sensational Shine Compulsion, shade Spicy Sangria, Maybelline
Tested by BeautyHack Senior Editor Anastasia Speranskaya
"Spicy sangria" - sounds at least tasty and at most beautiful. I am usually skeptical about bright lipsticks with a shiny texture (there is always the risk of turning into a Joker, you know), but Maybelline was surprised.
They managed to create a collection with ultra-saturated shades and glossy shine, but at the same time lipsticks hold firmly and do not go beyond the bounds of what is permitted. The stick itself almost does not shine, but it is worth applying on the lips, and the gloss manifests itself in all its glory - it gives volume and provides comfort. It seems that you are applying a moisturizing balm, and not at all the fatal "burgundy". The composition explains everything: it contains 60% oils and a special two-phase technology that cares for the lips.
And yet, if you are worried about durability, apply a base - a pencil of the appropriate shade, since there is a lot to roam in the Maybelline assortment.

Girls Pretty Punk Lipstick, Black Night, MAC
Tested by BeautyHack editor Sofia Vorobyova
This winter, the third Girls collection was released, dedicated to fantasies about the lifestyle of modern girls. Not without dark lipstick in the Pretty Punk collection, which was included in the limited edition MAC. The bottle is black, covered with white peonies, and graffiti flaunts over them. We understand immediately: the shade is not for the faint of heart - the design alone is already attracting attention.
The entire stick is strewn with sparkles, but only shine is noticeable when applied. Despite the black tint, the pigment is of medium density and not at all matte. At first it is scary to open your mouth altogether - there is a feeling that the lipstick will start flowing, especially when I adjusted the shade on the lips to the state of "total black".
In this case, in order to keep the lipstick better and to be used more economically, I apply a black pencil as a base, having previously used hygienic lipstick to soften my lips. And if you are still worried about the unevenness of the pigment, apply over the lipstick through a thin paper towel with loose powder.
Price: 1 550 rub.
Girls Pretty Punk lip gloss, shade God Save the Sheen, MAC
Tested by BeautyHack project manager Anastasia Lyagushkina
For me, this glitter turned out to be universal: great for light daytime makeup and complements bright evening smoky eyes. I think everyone remembers the days of foundation on the lips - when the paler, the more beautiful. Gloss makes lips a little lighter, but not at the expense of pigment, but thanks to shining reflective particles. By the way, they also give the lips a visual volume.
It is applied evenly, gives a mirror shine and pearlescent shimmer. If I want a translucent effect, I apply in one layer, and with the second, the shine intensifies - as if there were liquid glass on my lips. If you have a matte lipstick that you've shelved because it dries your lips, keep a beauty hack: apply the MAC gloss in the center over the lipstick and blend it with your fingertip. There will be no trace of dryness and tightness. In the meantime, I shine, the novelty takes care of my lips. I put it in my purse and use it in any incomprehensible (and understandable - too) situation.

Highlighter and blush Glow 2 Go, shade Golden Peach, Clarins
Tested by BeautyHack Editor Natalia Kapitsa
I don’t know about you, but spring starts already in February - at the beginning of the month I buy a gym membership (everyone does that, right?) And update my cosmetic bag.
I am the owner of a dark skin phototype: my face takes on a shade of milk chocolate with the appearance of the first timid rays of the sun. Already in April, you have to buy a tonal foundation one tone darker and change the blush. 2019 is declared the year of cream textures for me - the choice fell on the "multi-tool" from Clarins. One side of the stick is a blush with a warm undertone, the other is a "bronze" highlighter. It blends and blends beautifully to create natural-looking makeup and healthy, radiant skin.
Make friends blush with CC-cream (you can find my favorite here) is a joy for a beauty addict. Although after the end of the course of acid peels, the base may not be needed: the skin is even, without age spots and enlarged pores. I will definitely put a stick in my vacation bag - perfect for nautical makeup and beach walks.
Price: 2 650 rub.
Foundation L'Essentiel, 03N Naturel, Guerlain
Tested by BeautyHack editorial assistant Arina Zarudko
The foundation of all makeup is perfect, even skin. If the tone is chosen correctly, you can embark on a variety of make-up experiments, because everything starts with the skin, or rather, with the tonal base.
Persistence, matting, care - three pillars on which my choice of tonal base is always based. Finding the perfect product that literally holds all your makeup is not an easy task. The needs of women are so overstated that it is almost impossible to satisfy every one. But Guerlain did it. The cosmetic brand, using modern technologies in the development of a foundation, worked a miracle - it produced L'Essentiel, which consists of 97% of natural ingredients! Why not 100? Even the most natural remedy cannot boast of such indicators. 3% are synthetic components, but they are carefully selected, so you should not be afraid of allergic reactions. This 3% is needed at least in order to provide the product with impeccable durability.
What is so magical and natural about this stylish jar designed by Mathieu Leanne? The tone contains tar extract and red algae, due to which the skin breathes. And the extract of white cocoa beans is responsible for moisturizing the skin. Probiotics and prebiotics, also included, strengthen and protect the skin barrier. The formula of the product is designed in such a way that L'Essentiel not only provides the perfect skin tone, but also cares for it, cares for a fresh complexion and, which is important, tightens pores. Makeup and care in one bottle!
L'Essentiel is available in 18 warm, neutral and cold shades. Among such a variety, everyone will find their only one. In my case, this is a 3N neutral scale. It literally blends into the skin without creating a mask effect, and the texture is incredibly light. The product is consumed quite sparingly - two or three clicks on the dispenser are enough for distribution.
Price: 3 900 rub.
Long Lasting Matte Lipstick Pencil Mr. Matte, shade Gravitation, L'etoile
Tested by BeautyHack editor Sofia Vorobyova
Lipstick pencil Mr. Matte is really long-lasting (the name was right) and gives the lips a rich matte finish. The teardrop-shaped lipstick pencil format makes contouring easy and saves bag space thanks to its 2-in-1 category. The stick glides easily over the skin of the lips thanks to its comfortable creamy texture.
I really like that this lipstick can adjust the intensity of the color: during the day I have a light shade on my lips, and in the evening I make it more saturated. So that the lips do not crack and there is no discomfort, before applying Mr. Matte, I'm putting on chapstick. Then the result is really pleasing - long-lasting color without dryness on the lips. And, of course, do not forget about the scrub - it will help out if there are already peeling.
Price: 779 rub.
Matte lipstick pencil My Matte, shade Bella Napa, L'etoile
Tested by BeautyHack Senior Editor Anastasia Speranskaya
In the new collection L'Etoile, the company of lipstick pencil Mr. Matte has created another novelty - a pencil My Matte with jojoba oil in its composition. "Why is there oil in a pencil?" - you ask. Remember how often after applying the lip contour you frantically reached for the balm due to the feeling of dryness - this will not happen with a new product. The pencil lays down like clockwork (and literally) and does not tighten the lips, although it creates a rich matte finish.
The Bella Napa shade even turns lips into juicy berries - the contour is clear, and the pigment is uniform. But do not repeat my mistakes and apply a lip scrub before doing makeup - because of the creamy texture, the pencil can accentuate the flaking. But the novelty itself perfectly cares for the skin, making the lips soft - vitamin E helps in this jojoba oil.
Price: 363 rub.
Liquid lipstick-gloss Shineful Liquid Color SPF 15, shade 19 Metal, Seventeen
Tested by BeautyHack SMM Manager Anna Rybalko
Liquid lipsticks and gloss effect are the trends that are currently at the peak of popularity! I decided to kill two birds with one stone and try a product that combines the functions of both lipstick and gloss at once.
The new product from Seventeen lays down on the lips softly, in one stroke, but if you don't like stickiness on your lips, don't apply too much - it takes a few minutes for the lipstick to “set”. The promised gloss effect is evident: despite the cold shade and large glitter, the lipstick looks appropriate with any makeup and does not turn into a “pale toadstool”.
It is thanks to the non-standard shade that the tool is perfect for futuristic parties - add graphic arrows and purple blush on the temples, not forgetting about the highlighter (you can find strobing options here). And the main bonus is that lipstick lasts for 3-4 hours and is quite capable of surviving a coffee break.

Mascara for eyebrows Wonder Drawing, shade Ash Brown, Holika Holika
Tested by BeautyHack editor Julia Kozoliy
If you regularly do eyebrow shaping and do not suffer from a lack of thickness, I sincerely recommend eyebrow tints and mascaras for daily makeup. They emphasize the natural shade, position the hairs in the right direction (I really like to comb them slightly upwards) and instantly make the face more expressive.
My requirements for mascara are unassuming: natural color, delicate coating and without the effect of PVA glue on the eyebrows. Looks like Wonder Drawing from Korean Holika Holika has worked out! But you need to get used to the tool: if you scoop it up generously with a brush, a greasy coating will remain on the eyebrows. Therefore, I practically do not scroll the brush in the tube, but simply comb the hairs with it - a light tint effect with good fixation is obtained.
It is this product that Holika Holika offers in two shades. I use a darker, ash brown to eliminate the reddish undertones.
Price: 570 rub.
All Day Lip Color Matt Metal, True Blood, Seventeen
Tested by BeautyHack Senior Editor Anastasia Speranskaya
A reversible lipstick with matte pigment on one end and glitter on the other - isn't it brilliant? I often apply a long-lasting product in the morning and by lunchtime I dream of a lip balm, but here it is enough to apply a little gloss and you are fine! In fact, the matte part of the new product from Seventeen surprised me: the lipstick dries instantly, providing an even, dense metallic finish, but at the same time it does not dry the lips at all (read about how matte textures have changed here). But only hydrophilic oil can wash it off - don't even try to do it with milk or micellar water. I am silent about the absence of marks on the circles, clothes and lips of my beloved - reinforced concrete resistance.
But one stroke of a brush with glitter - and the image is transformed: lips become juicy, like freshly washed cherries. Haters of stickiness will apply glitter and "solo" - it looks more like oil and (attention!) Does not contain gluten!
Price: 547 rub.
