PROP STYLING BY ELIZABETH PRESS<br />
A BETTER ANGLE<br />
It’s hard to pinpoint<br />
the origin of the first<br />
makeup brushes<br />
(was it the Romans?<br />
the Egyptians?), but<br />
the straight-handled<br />
shape hasn’t changed<br />
much since ancient<br />
times. The latest iterations<br />
finally take<br />
the task of makeup<br />
application into the<br />
21st century. Ergonomically<br />
designed<br />
bent heads make<br />
these models as intuitive<br />
to use as your<br />
fingers, while soft<br />
bristles, clustered into<br />
a rounded shape,<br />
effortlessly buff in<br />
foundation and blend<br />
in color cosmetics<br />
without leaving telltale<br />
lines.<br />

collection (shown), from<br />
$36 each, neimanmarcus<br />
.com. M.A.C Oval<br />
brushes, from $32 each,<br />
maccosmetics.com.<br />
Use the Oval 6, left,<br />
for foundation<br />
and blush. The Circle<br />
1, center, applies<br />
lipstick and concealer<br />
with precision.<br />
The Oval 3, right,<br />
helps shade and blend<br />
eye shadow.<br />
REBOOT YOUR<br />
ROUTINE<br />
We’re always excited about innovations<br />
that help make our daily regimen<br />
quicker, easier, and more beautiful—and<br />
this year’s biggest cosmetic<br />
breakthroughs don’t disappoint. On these<br />
pages, you’ll find long-sought updates<br />
on decades-old technologies, as well<br />
as subtle but meaningful tweaks on things<br />
we take for granted. Whether you’re<br />
after smoother skin, fuller hair, or more<br />
seamless makeup, your new look<br />
may just be a simple switch-up away.<br />
