The Best Editor-Vetted Makeup Products On Sale at the 2026 Sephora Savings Event

This tiny compact has taken over (and drastically simplified) my makeup routine in all the best ways. The two-split product features a concentrated cream for coverage and a gloss to illuminate the face. The magic, however, is in mixing the two. The combination creates the most stunning, my-skin-but-better foundation that you can customize, depending on the level of coverage that you want. Paired with the compact and easy-to-travel-with packaging? I need 50 million of them, stat.

Armani’s latest foundation is one of the rare instances of a cult-favorite product reformulation actually going well. The new luminous silk offers medium coverage, and as the name suggests, plus luminosity for days. If you have oily skin, use the right mattifying skin prep routine before application to keep things from getting too oily. Otherwise, this new formula and shade range (I use 8.6) is immaculate.

This is one of the most full-coverage concealers I have tried in years (see our full review here). The difference between this formula and the ones from the 2016 era? It’s a lot less drying and actually sits beautifully on the skin, thanks to ingredients like hyaluronic acid and squalane. Plus, the shade range is immaculate—I have tons of options for brightening, spot concealing, or even using this formula in place of foundation. A 10/10 launch from Charlotte Tilbury if you ask me.

Want a more natural finish with your concealer? Patrick Ta’s Major Skin concealer might just do the trick. The shade Tan Golden Neutral 5 is genuinely my skin color in a bottle (in fact, it's the best match I have in any complexion product that I own), and that alone is going to make me a loyalist to this product. However, it also sits beautifully on the skin and offers coverage without feeling heavy, unlike weightier formulas that can feel cakey. I love mixing this one with the Charlotte Tilbury formula. The results are immaculate every time.

I believe that Too Faced has accidentally made one of the best highlighters in the world; I, however, am not complaining. The Born This Way Super Glow is marketed as a complexion enhancer, but when I first tried it, I realized that the shade Golden Mocha was a perfect highlighting shade. It’s like they took my foundation color and added a bunch of glow to it, so the result takes my complexion to new, and very illuminated heights. Plus, it dries down on the skin so nicely, so you get that gorgeous editorial glow when your cheek hits the right light without having to worry about it sliding everywhere as you go about your day. Genius.

This highlighter is not raved about enough, and I am here to rectify that. Dior’s Forever Glow Maximizer is another one of those glow boosters that I like to call a neo highlighter. The liquid formula allows it to sit on the skin without emphasizing texture as a powder would, but said liquid also makes the highlighter look like glass on the skin. I’ve even used a few of these as blush toppers, and the result is always the most delicious, dewy cheeks known to man.

Westman Atelier’s bronzers have been a little hit or miss for me, but the new Sun Tone Bronzing Crème duos are firmly in the former category. Each compact comes with two shades: one lighter and the other darker. Whether you want a barely-there bronze or you want to look like you just came back from a two-week vacation, you can wear each shade alone, mix them, or layer them for your perfect finish. It’s like having three products in one if you do your girl math correctly.

I love blush and have tried practically every one on the market. Still, I continue to be impressed by the Make Me Blush line from YSL. Not only is this a powder formula, which my oily skin appreciates, but the colors are also incredibly thoughtful. It’s hard to find a shade that actually looks subtle and sunburnt on the cheek (which is my preferred color family to stick to), and this line carries multiple shades that I can choose from, and in different finishes as well. Somebody is doing something phenomenal in that lab, and I implore them to keep it up.

When it comes to lip gloss, Lawless is going to have you covered every time. Not only are the colors offered absolute perfection, but the gloss itself is thick without feeling sticky, pigmented without feeling like a glossy lipstick, and actually smooths the lines in my lips. If you love a nude lip combo, especially one that leans a bit more on the pink side, Lawless should be one of your first stops during the sale.

Who would I be without mentioning the mother of makeup’s latest launch? Pat McGrath Labs recently released the Lip Sculpt + Shade Lipstick and Lip Liner Contour Duo, and I am (to no one’s surprise) loving them. Not only is the packaging and formula next-level luxe, but the color range is also delicious—anyone of any skin tone can find a duo in this line that works for them. Throw this into your bag to wear alone or with a gloss; either way, you’ll have the perfect lip combination within arm’s reach at all times.
