Allure magazine unveiled their newest beauty product frontrunners and breakthroughs in their Best of Beauty Awards.

The winners were chosen by the editors who test and approve an array of beauty brands from different categories, thus removing the endless guesswork that comes with purchasing a new product.

The list is pretty substantial, so here are some products to keep an eye out for.

Hair

Now that fall has arrived and winter is well on its way, it’s important to keep in mind that hair is much more susceptible to dryness this season due to the heat in your home and the frigid outdoors.

To keep your strands moisturized, try Wella Professionals Enrich Shampoo and Conditioner Duo. The polymer formula in this particular set locks in moisture for all-day smoothness.

If your hair appears coarse and dry from the use of blow dryers and flat-irons, a quarter-sized amount of Smooth Sexy Hair Smooth Extender will give your parched hair the hydration it deserves.

Skin

For normal to dry skin, Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream absorbs almost immediately and delivers a nonstop dose of hyaluronic acid to keep your skin hydrated. If your skin is dryer than usual, don’t be afraid to add an extra layer. The formula is light enough that it won’t clog your pores.

If your skin is on the oilier side, try Philosophy Renewed Hope in a Jar. This cult favorite is now packaged with a new formula including a trio of alpha hydroxy acids to unclog pores and hyaluronic acid for some light hydration.

Makeup

To master a cat-eye that’s always on point, try L’Oreal Paris The Super Slim Liner. The skinny felt tip will deliver the sharpest lines and perfect wing in just one application.

To disguise your pores and minimize the appearance of fine lines, apply CoverGirl Outlast All-Day Primer as a base. It does the job so well that you might be tempted to skip using foundation altogether.

You can’t have fall without the perfect shade of red lipstick. For a matte, cherry red lip, try L’Oreal Paris Colour Riche Collection Lipcolour in Blake’s Red. It delivers amazing color payoff and looks beautiful with all skin types.

Perfume

Viktor + Rolf Flowerbomb is a cult-classic, with its mix of feminine, musky, sweet and floral scents. This grenade-shaped bottle houses a mix of jasmine, rose, orchid and ballerina freesia, making this scent a fall must-have.

Nails

It’s the time of year to swap out bright summer polishes for fall plums and winter reds. The mix of red and purple hues in Essie’s Devil’s Advocate makes it an ideal polish for the cold months ahead. The color payoff changes depending on the lighting, but the finished product is surprisingly chic.

Sally Hansen’s Miracle Gel polish and topcoat provides the intense shine and amazing life span of a salon gel treatment, sans the harmful UV rays and pesky removal process.
