The product most likely to change a reader’s life: 

RHW: I absolutely love my Rose Inc. Soft Light Luminous Hydrating Concealer. It is a does-it-all concealer that brightens, blurs, and contours

while nourishing the skin. It’s so good that I’ve actually been able to cut foundation from my daily makeup routine. Once I buff it into my skin with a brush, my complexion looks brighter and smoother, but completely bare. There’s no trace of makeup—just smooth, radiant skin. 

CH: All of our Rose Inc. products are great, but the life-changing top contenders are probably the Softlight Luminous Hydrating Concealer, the Lip Sculpt Enriched Amplifying Color, and the Blush Devine Radiant Lip & Cheek Color. They all utilize clean chemistry and ingredients such as squalane.

The under-$20 wonder: 

RHW: Mario Badescu Drying Lotion! I don’t think there’s a night I don’t apply at least one dot before heading to bed.

CH: Biossance’s Squalane + Rose Vegan Lip Balm! I love to use this product every night before bed to hydrate overnight. It’s also a product you can always find in my purse when I’m on the go.

The beauty item you wish you had discovered 10+ years ago:

RHW: If I had discovered the Dyson Airwrap 10 years ago, that would mean 10 years of way better at-home blowouts!

CH: Eyebrow gel. Rosie has taught me her favorite tips and tricks from her many years behind the makeup chair, and how transformative eyebrow gel can be. (It helps give you that professional laminated look!) Even if I forgo makeup one day, I still can’t go without a clear or tinted eyebrow gel.

The best beauty launch of 2021:

RHW: Rose Inc.!

CH: Rose Inc., of course!

The product that’s so brilliant you wish you had invented it:

RHW: YSL’s Touche Éclat Radiant Touch is possibly one of the most iconic beauty products of all time!

CH: Either Costa Brazil’s Óleo Para O Corpo Kaya Jungle Firming Body Oil or the Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector—both products have really transformed my skin and hair respectively.

The gem that earns you the most compliments:

RHW: My Rose Inc. Radiant Lip and Cheek Color in Foxglove. Its long-wearing, buildable color glides effortlessly and blends evenly. It instantly brightens for a more radiant complexion and helps blur the look of pores and smooth the skin’s texture. Most importantly, it delivers lasting hydration and is non-comedogenic, which I need for my acne-prone skin.

CH: Definitely the Rose Inc. Brightening Serum! Launching a new brand means lots of early mornings and late-night meetings. To keep my skin looking hydrated and refreshed, I love to use this product first thing when I wake up and again before bed.
