Foolproof Fluffed-Up Brows: Air Brow Tinted Eyebrow Gel
Why it’s worth it: The delightfully mousse-y Air Brow is a Best of Beauty Award winner for good reason. With each stroke, its lightly tinted formula grips every teensy hair, adding fullness and volume for a laminated look without any crunch. Meanwhile, hyaluronic acid, peptides, and castor oil (in tinted versions) soften and condition brow hairs.
Editor’s tip: For dramatically fuller brows, pair this gel with Kosas’s Brow Pop Nano, another Best of Beauty Award winner.

High-Shine Smooches: Wet Lip Oil Gloss
Why it’s worth it: Usually, we wouldn’t consider a lip gloss to be groundbreaking, but the Kosas Wet Lip Oil Gloss—which won a 2023 Allure Best of Beauty Award— has a pigmented, non-sticky formula that proves it’s above the rest. Its vinyl-like finish gives lips all the shine with no stickiness, and a powerhouse duo of hyaluronic acid and evening primrose oil plumps and conditions lips, leaving them silky-smooth even when the gloss has finally worn off.
Editor’s tip: If you need a primer for your heavier lip products, we recommend swiping on a moisture-replenishing lip balm like the hyaluronic acid-infused Kosas LipFuel.

Dark Circles, Who?: Revealer Concealer
Why it’s worth it: Like a true skin-loving base product, Revealer Concealer features complexion-enhancing ingredients like anti-inflammatory caffeine, hydrating hyaluronic acid, and firming peptides. So, say goodbye to drying concealers that cake and crease throughout the day—this brightening concealer’s multitude of skin-care benefits means your undereyes (and any other area you’re spot-treating) will look glowy all day.
Tester feedback: Hussein says this is one of her go-to concealers for its medium coverage and radiant finish. “Its pigment is spot-on in terms of matching with my cool-toned, medium-light skin tone,” she says. “All I need are a few swipes to brighten my unusually dark undereye bags and cover a few dark spots.”

Photo Filter in a Bottle: Revealer Skin Improving Foundation
Why it’s worth it: If you want more coverage beyond a concealer, our editors adore the Revealer Skin Improving Foundation—it’s an Allure Best of Beauty Award winner, after all. “[Kosas’s Revealer Skin Improving Foundation] checked off all the boxes: blendable, lightweight, and gives off a subtle glow that can easily be toned down with some setting powder—without creasing up minutes later,” associate special projects manager Talia Gutierrez gushed about the formula. “The finish and wear time lasted eight-plus hours and looked as If I had just applied it [the whole time.]” Because this complexion-boosting formula features squalane, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and caffeine, it can address dryness, dark spots, and texture in one seamless application.
