CMYK

It’s pretty incredible that it only takes four colors—cyan, magenta, yellow, and key (black)—to create a panoply of shades crisscrossing the rainbow. This is the starting point of CMYK Color Made Simple, a new makeup brand that’s inspired by the printing press process. It’s designed around the principle of how colors can be layered to create an infinite amount of possibilities. This clean and non-toxic collection—they steer clear of 1,300 ingredients that are banned in the EU—includes earth-toned eye palettes, a collagen-infused lip gloss, and a silky-powered blush in peachy pink shades.

R&Co bleu Blonded

The ideal shade of blonde is always a moving target—buttery, beachy, strawberry—but one thing is certain, maintaining the color can be a challenge. R&Co’s new Blonded hair range keeps your strands looking their best because it builds up its toning power by softening unwanted yellow tones over time. Unlike many purple color correcting formulas, which tend to be drying, it delivers extra moisture to chemically treated hair with shea butter and vegan keratin. Plus, it’s in the brand’s ultra-conscious packaging made of sugarcane plastic and outer packaging comprised of 100% post-consumer recycled paper. Available in Blonded Brightening Mask and Blonded Brightening Shampoo.

rye beauty

They say necessity is the mother of invention and that is the case for Rye Beauty founder and brow expert Michele Holmes and owner of Michele Holmes Studio. For years she searched for a product that stimulated and nurtured the brows yet kept coming up short. So she took matters into her own hands when she created Rye Beauty Brow Grooming Serum—the brand’s only current offering so you know it is good—that is powered by a host of clean ingredients including three different peptides and biotin that condition, tame, and stimulate growth.
