Drop Everything—Versed Just Launched the Minimalist Makeup Staples of Our Dreams

"I am SO annoyingly picky when it comes to mascara, and there are only a handful I’ve ever loved. This is now one of them! My lashes are my favorite feature to play up, but because they are long and straight, I need a featherlight formula that lifts, lengthens, curls, and separates all in one swipe. A light wiggle from the base of my lashes to the tips gave me the fluttery and delicate definition I wanted with zero flaking, clumping, or smudging. I’m also so happy it comes in both black and brown."

"I love a good lip mask, and this is a great one. I’ve been in Minnesota all winter long where the average temperature has sat around 20ºF, and my lips (which are used to balmy L.A. temperature) are really not having it. I’ve tried all of my normal remedies and favorite products—even taking a cue from Kylie Jenner and purchasing a tube of nipple cream—to no avail. This formula is one of the only things that’s been able to pump long-lasting moisture into my rough, cracked lips. It has a very satisfying balmy texture that looks pretty on the lips and doesn’t feel too heavy or sticky. I’ve been wearing it 24/7."

"Merit’s Day Glow Highlighting Balm is probably my favorite highlighter of all time, and this one feels very similar. It melts into the skin, and the glow itself looks dewy and natural, not shimmery or tacky. I found it worked really well with the skin tint to create a glowy, not greasy, end result." Our editor in chief, Kat Collings, agrees, calling it "straight-up gorgeous."

"I can’t think of a single way this eye shadow could be more perfect. The Poetic color is angelic. It feels like an everyday color yet is more exciting than your usual daytime sand and beige colors."

"Wow, this product knocks it out of the park. A subtle color injection and sheen is exactly what I look for in a lip product, and this one comes through. The delivery system with the click button is also oddly pleasing." (I agree, FWIW; the click-and-swipe applicator is so satisfying.)

"I really like how both of the colored lip products Versed offers provide the kind of low-key color wash you can apply with your eyes closed. If a slightly glossy look isn’t your speed but you’d like to enhance your natural lip color, this product is your ticket."

"When I tell you I'm obsessed with pulling off that 'just pinched' blush makeup championed by my favorite rom-com girls, I'm describing the finished look of Versed's new Shade Swipe. The ultra-creamy, buildable cream blush applied to my skin like a dream and added a natural flush everywhere I needed (my cheeks, nose bridge, and temples). Hours later, the blush remained as pretty as it looked when I first applied it at the start of my day. It's truly a winner in my books."

"I love adding an ultra-glossy lip to any and all of my makeup looks, and I'm so happy to have come across this tinted lip serum. I noticed immediately how smoothly it took to my lips and delivered smooth, even color in one swipe. I didn't have to go back in for touch-ups! The shade I chose also happened to be the perfect red/brown tone to complement my skin since it read more pink against my complexion than anything else."

"I’ll be honest. I don’t normally love a skin tint. I find that they either offer way too little coverage for my redness-prone skin, or they’re too dewy and give me an oil-slick finish. I liked that this one actually offered a good amount of coverage (redness, begone!) and had a natural finish—not too dewy, not too matte. While the shade I chose was a little too light for me, I genuinely liked the result. I think I’ll order it in the correct shade so I can wear it whenever I’m craving a my-skin-but-better look."

"To me, this is a classic blush stick. It offers a good amount of color. It’s blendable. It breathed some life back into my pale, winter complexion. Overall, I’m a fan of it, especially the shade Cozy, which reminded me a little bit of one of my all-time favorite blushes (and the one I wear almost every day), Rhode’s Pocket Blush in Toasted Teddy."

"The bronzer stick is the perfect companion to the blush. It has a similar texture and color payoff, and it made me look like I’ve actually seen sunlight in the past week. (I haven’t.) It also stayed put with minimal movement or smudging throughout the day. For such an affordable price point, I think this gets an A+."

To be honest, I thought the payoff was going to be quite minimal, given Versed's "clean, everyday essentials" aesthetic. I couldn't have been more wrong! This tinted brow gel is pigmented. With one swipe, I'm able to completely fill in my sparse, gappy tails—no pencil necessary.

I don't exfoliate my lips as much as I should, but now I will never look back. It makes lip color look 10 times smoother. Plus stimulating all that blood flow has a subtle plumping effect. I consider it a hero product to use pre-makeup, but it also works like a charm to remove stubborn pigment (like a bold red lip) at the end of the day. I'm absolutely flying through my sample—good thing it's tagged at just $14!

I have to give this bronzer stick another shout-out, as it's probably my favorite product of the bunch. At first I thought it was going to be way too pigmented and "muddy" on my skin, but it sheers out exceptionally well once you start blending. I'd consider it more of a contour than bronzer—the latter delivers warmth, and I found this to be rather cool-toned—but it's amazing for everyday sculpting. I'll continue to use this on my cheekbones, hairline, outer corners of my eyes, and on the bridge of my nose for some subtle definition.

This noncomedogenic, dermatologist-tested primer is infused with niacinamide to balance oil production and a superfine pearl to blur pores and provide a soft, light-reflecting glow.

Here, we have a creamy, medium-coverage concealer that never settles into fine lines. It also has self-setting properties so you don't have to follow up with powder for extra-long wear.

These Glow Drops have already reached staple status, but they've now been upgraded with the brand's new look and feel. The lightweight, serum-y consistency is practically begging to be mixed with your moisturizer (or Versed Skin Tint!).

A high-quality blending brush is not to be missed. Versed's version has densely packed bristles for optimal, streak-free blending and an oval shape for a precise application.

The new Illuminating Stick also comes in this gorgeous copper shade, in case you're craving some more warmth.

A burst of berry pigment, a juicy sheen, and a moisturizing, subtly plumping formula—what more could you ask for in a tinted lip oil?
