There’s nothing that says fabulous more than a tube of luxurious red lipstick — who does it better than Dior? As a brand known for constantly delivering high-quality, highly pigmented lippies, there’s no questioning why the Rouge Dior line had been the #1 best-selling lipstick worldwide. A clear cult favorite among makeup junkies, the Rouge Dior delivers bold, long-wearing pigmentation that stays on for hours on end without making your lips crust up. Its velvety finish, along with its formulation of hydrating ingredients such as natural mango butter and hyaluronic acid, ensure your lips feel as good as it looks.

Aside from the fact that Chanel’s logo is coincidentally CC — we enjoy a good pun here on THREAD — there’s more to be loved by this color-correcting cream. Rich in active ingredients and a fresh texture that easily glides onto the skin, this color corrector not only provides allows you to create a more high-coverage base, but reinforces your skin with antioxidants, vitamin C, and natural superfruit extracts. Plus, with SPF50, you get the added sun protection you need for healthier skin all while achieving complexion perfection.

This quadruple threat from Tom Ford is a great pick for ladies that love neutral looks and would prefer their palettes to easily slip into their purses. With four earthy brown shades that are universally flattering in four textures (sheer sparkle, satin, shimmer, and matte), Tom Ford has made it easy to achieve not only work-appropriate day looks, but seductive night looks as well. However, what truly makes this quad stand out among the rest is its true-to-color high pigmentation, buildability, and lasting power. The hues are easy to blend and layer up as needed to make effortless looks in one luxurious snap.

While, admittedly, you can probably find dozens of face powders sans the big brand name that get the job done, Gucci’s natural face powder does more. This natural face powder is excellent for not only setting and mattifying the skin but giving it an extra, natural-looking glow with micro reflecting lamellar powders and soft-focus pigments. It helps absorb excess oils while maintaining its ultra-thin feel, keeping you feeling comfortable and looking flawless. It also comes with a delicate floral fragrance that makes application all the more gratifying.

Unless you’ve been living under a beauty rock, we doubt you haven’t heard of the great claims — and insanely rave reviews — of Estee Lauder’s iconic Double Wear Foundation. With amazing coverage that can go from medium to full as needed, this foundation is highly acclaimed for its ability to give you a smooth, blemish-free appearance without feeling like you’ve slathered on cake batter on your face. Despite its great coverage, the formula remains comfortable to wear on the skin, being lightweight in texture and easy to spread. The high point of this foundation? It. Stays. On. With its oil-free matte finish, you can expect this crowd-favorite to be sweat-, heat-, and humidity-proof — everything a gal in the tropics could ever want from a foundation.
