Best New Beauty Products to Obsess Over This Spring 2018

With a new season comes a crop of new beauty products to try!

Question is: Which ones are worth your time? Luckily, we rounded up the best of the best, ranging from as-seen-on-the-red-carpet releases to super-cool products that will work just as well at your local music festival as it does to the office.
For instance, Olivia Wilde was all smiles at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party this year. Thanks to makeup artist Mélanie Inglessis, who used a new Tom Ford highlight-blush combo, her defined cheekbones were front and center. Are you looking for a full-coverage concealer that actually lasts and doesn't cake? Try the just-released EX1 Cosmetics option Margot Robbie wore to the 2018 BAFTAs and Hailey Baldwin wore to the BRIT Awards. 
Not all these brand-new products are celeb-tested—some aren't even available for purchase quite yet. But all are worth a try, or at the very least, getting excited for.

We're calling this dual-ended highlight-blush stick the hero product from Tom Ford's latest launches—not because it's already been worn by celebs like Olivia Wilde at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party or that the formula is creamy and gives off a nice dewiness, but because it's the perfect on-the-go product. It applies just as well with your fingers as it does with a sponge—without disrupting the makeup you have on already.
Shade and Illuminate Glow Stick, $55

If it's good enough for Margot Robbie and Hailey Baldwin, it's worth a try! This just-launched, full-coverage concealer can stack up to intense camera lighting, red carpet sweat or where ever your day may take you. It's highly pigmented but won't cake, as the formula is super creamy. Our only gripe? The bottle is too small.
Delete Fluid Liquid Concealer, $17

The new launch is made specifically for curl type 4, which is curly-kinky. Hair isn't one-size fits all, so it's great to see brands starting to break out products by hair type, so everyone gets exactly what they need.
Manageability & Softening Remedy Leave-In Spray, $13.99

This is the coolest liner you'll meet this season. This March, the beauty brand has launched all-day, waterproof liner pigments that are suppose to smudge...and sparkle. The rich colors glide on smooth with a hint a of shimmer. Should you choose to blend it out for a more diffused shadow look, just swipe your finger across the pigment and watch the sparkles intensify! Make it as subtle or dramatic as you want. Honestly, we hear music festival makeup calling.

Out this month comes a capsule collection from Sally Hansen Global Color Ambassador Madeline Poole. The six-color range was inspired by '90s nostalgia, so you know it will sell well. More than that, the colors are bright and fun, which is perfect for spring. Our favorite hue? A slime-green polish that will look amazing next to a spicy margarita.

Can't get behind slippery sheet masks? Try hydrogel hydrators that actually adhere to your face while infusing it with the right moisturizing ingredients. We're especially loving the cold fusion of Amazonian oils from Kiehl's. You'll feel like you just got a relaxing facial at an eco-friendly spa in the middle of the rain forest after treating yourself with the plant-derived ingredients in these two-part masks.
Instant Renewal Concentrate Mask, $32

Do you leave a bottle of face mist at your desk like most beauty editors? Do you want a little color this spring? Look no further than this April launch, which will be available on Net-a-Porter and Blue Mercury. Think of this hydrating mist like the perfect hangover beauty pick-me-up. Coconut water is full of electrolytes and vitamins, while a gradual tan evenly develops over three to five days. Don't worry: There are no splotchy results, and it's perfect for the beginning tanner.
