The Next Big Thing: The New Products a Beauty Fiend Needs in Her Life

If you want to tune in and drop out—for a little while at least—try floating on salt water in a tank devoid of sound, light, or stimulation. Originally popularized in the 1960s and '70s, and now making a comeback, sensory deprivation is thought to promote mental clarity, reenergize the mind, and speed workout recovery. Two spots to do it: Float On in Portland, Oregon, and Lift (above) in Brooklyn.

Plenty of research has shown that fermented foods are full of health-boosting probiotics, but pickled veggies can be a little tough for some to swallow. The solution: Farmhouse Culture's sparkling probiotic Gut Punches. Each beverage packs 4 billion good-for-you cultures and tastes like your morning juice or your afternoon cola, depending on the flavor.

This app helps you find your perfect foundation. Use your phone's camera to scan different points on your face; then the app analyzes the various shades of your complexion and orders up a custom color of foundation, which arrives at your doorstep in as little as 72 hours. On the off chance that it's not a flawless match, you can send it back and request adjustments.

Work imitates art for this rising star; her paint-palette-inspired looks for Eckhaus Latta's fall fashion show caused crazy buzz, she's collaborated on international exhibitions, and her portfolio is one of the most eclectic in the MUA game.

Backstage at Alexander Wang's fall show, all eyes were glued to this Korean stunner and her badass buzz cut—and it's been that way ever since. She's already booked major shows like Chanel and Hermès, and her killer street style ensures she'll be a fashion-world favorite for seasons to come. 

The Korean beauty giant is finally available stateside and expanding its physical presence with interactive, innovative stores. The first, which opened in New York City in September, boasts a sheet-mask bar and a customization station, where you can design every detail of a bespoke cushion compact, from the shade, finish, and texture of the formula to the art on its exterior.

If you see sexy waves on the red carpet, chances are this New York City–based stylist had a hand in creating the look. Her clients include a gaggle of Victoria's Secret models and celebrities such as Allison Williams and Amber Heard.

This co-owner and aesthetician at NYC's Take Care takes facials to the next level: the entire body. Her strategic use of gentle electric currents—combined with natural skin smoothers—leaves clients glowing scalp to soles.

Despite all the makeup lines available, many women—especially those who are mixed-race or of South Asian descent—still have trouble finding colors that work. But things are changing. Earlier this year, India-born entrepreneur Monika Deol launched STELLAR BEAUTY. "Before we began development, I used the Pantone SkinTone chart to map every foundation shade at Sephora, which I think of as the benchmark retailer, and there were serious holes in the medium range, especially if you wanted something under $50," Deol says. Her collection includes foundation in 22 shades—many in that elusive middle ground—and a plethora of color products.

Another line you miiight have heard about also launched recently with myriad options for medium skin: FENTY BEAUTY, designed by Rihanna, whose heritage includes a mix of ethnicities. It features only one lip color (a rosy-gold gloss that looks good on everyone), but there are 40 (!) liquid foundation shades and 30 Match Stix Skinsticks that can be used to conceal, highlight, correct, or contour, depending on the hue. And don't worry, dark- and light-skinned beauties: Both lines have options for you as well.

You've probably heard of THC, the psychotropic that gives marijuana its special kick, but the plant packs more than 400 other active chemical compounds, some of which offer health and beauty benefits sans intoxication. One of these, CANNABIDIOL, OR CBD, is quickly gaining popularity because it's been shown to reduce inflammation and decrease pain when applied topically. (Legality technically depends on the source and the state you live in, but many companies ship CBD products nationwide, as the laws are constantly changing.) As with all active ingredients, quality and formulation matter. Here are a few CBD standouts: Lord Jones' body lotion is a balm for bruises, sore spots, and sunburns; Ambika Herbals' bath salts offer head-to-toe relief after an intense workout; and CBD For Life's eye serum (pictured) helps reduce under-eye puffiness and dark circles.
