Best Blush
Editors' Pick Winner: Marc Jacobs Air Blush Soft Glow Duo
Why: A choose-your-own-adventure type of blush, this product has a sheer highlighting side and a saturated pop-of-color side so you get exactly the finish you want.

Honorable Mention: Makeup Revolution Blush Palette Blush Goddess

Best Bronzer
Editors' Pick Winner: BareMinerals BareSkin Sheer Sun Serum Bronzer
Why: Not only does this liquid bronzer blend seamlessly over skin to impart a just-from-the-beach glow, it also loads you up with good-for-skin ingredients, like vitamin E and jojoba oil.

Honorable Mention: Inika Organic Baked Mineral Bronzer

Readers' Choice Winner: Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer
Why: This is my go-to bronzer for natural-looking, sun-kissed skin. It doesn't oxidize or turn orange on the skin, and it doesn't make naturally oily skin look patchy or dirty.

Honorable Mention: NYX Matte Bronzer

Best Brows

Honorable Mention: Laura Mercier Brow Dimension Fiber Infused Colour Gel

Readers' Choice Winner: Wet n Wild Ultimate Brow Kit
Why: For the price, this can't be beat. The powders have a great formulation, are well pigmented and can easily be brushed out for a more natural finish.

Best Color Corrector
Editors' Pick Winner: Urban Decay Naked Skin Color Correcting Fluid
Why: A wand makes this color corrector incredibly easy to use, and it comes in five shades to counteract everything from redness to sallowness.

Honorable Mention: Becca Backlight Targeted Colour Corrector

Readers' Choice Winner: Marc Jacobs Cover(t) Stick Color Corrector
Why: The product works particularly well for all-over redness. I apply it liberally to my nose and cheeks after primer and then spread with my fingertips. The formula is sheer and silky, which makes it easy to apply.

Honorable Mention: Algenist Reveal Concentrated Color Correcting Drops
