Mac Plush Lash Mascara, $11;
Nordstrom
Lash extensions have nothing on this new mascara, made with pro-vitamin B and vitamin E. The genius lies in the delivery: Use the straight side to coax lashes upward and the longer bristles for definition and volume. The result: fluttery, glammed-out lashes that won’t clump.

True Lip Definer, $15, and Pure Lip
Color, $22; truelynatural.com
Rich color doesn't have to be dry. Formulated with jojoba oils and vitamins C and E to prevent feathering and condition the lips, this lip definer goes on easily with even coverage. With caffeine and vitamin A to increase fullness and decrease fine lines, the Pure full-coverage lip color is packed with superantioxidant protection. Shea butter and lotus-flower extract condition and soothe.

Origins Stay Tuned Skin Balancing
Face Makeup, $17.50; origins.com
The line between a dewy sheen and sweaty film is a fine one. Get a toasty glow with this algae-infused, skin-perfecting foundation that miraculously staves off oil and leaves your complexion positively radiant. Optical diffusers scatter light from fine lines and flaws to flatter combination complexions.

Tarte Natural Beauty, $28;
sephora.com
A veritable Merlin of makeup, this berry cheek stain——made with goji, acai, cranberry and pomegranate——colors cheeks to a gorgeous flush (a staple on this fall’s runway). The good-for-your-skin cocktail of vitamins A, C and E plus lychee extract boosts moisture and gets to work on those pesky, wrinkle-inducing free radicals.

Lip Treatment, $23; Neiman Marcus
Named for Highway 29 that runs through Napa Valley, this newly launched brand of cosmetics packs its products with the wrinkle-fighting polyphenols found in grape-seed extract. This balm combines antioxidants and SPF 20 in a highly moisturizing formula that leaves lips with a just-sipped-the-Merlot stain.
