Best Palette

Editors' Pick Winner: Huda Beauty The New Nude Eyeshadow Palette

Why: "The New Nude" sounds about right: This palette is filled with colorful updates on staid neutrals, with shades like peach, lavender and burnt sienna abounds. And the crowning glory? The four iridescent shades, designed to be layered for extra sparkly glory.

Readers' Choice Winner: Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam Eyeshadow Palette

Why: We'll be enamored of Anastasia Beverly Hills' eyeshadow palettes for the rest of our lives and this one is particularly gorgeous. It is, indeed, equal parts "soft" (those finely-milled shadows!) and "glam" (those high-impact metallics!).

Best Powder

Editors' Pick Winner: Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder

Why: About as finely-milled as can be, this translucent powder is near-undetectable — your skin will feel powder-free, except for the added benefits of pore blurring, shine control and major makeup longevity.

Readers' Choice Winner: Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder Glow

Why: This weightless setting powder is basically like traveling around with your own convenient ultra-flattering candlelit lighting set-up. You'll look a-glow (but not too a-glow) and filtered (but not too filtered).
