2023 is two-thirds of the way done, and it seems like time is slipping away quickly. The makeup and beauty world though is always changing. This year, as for the last couple of years, makeup and beauty have taken on a more natural look. Emphasis on your natural beauty and enhancing your features is the big trend. So, we decided to put together our picks of the best beauty products we swear by in 2023.

When it comes to choosing a product, it is important to do your research on the company. From the products used to their ethics, these are just some factors to take into consideration. Not everyone’s skin is the same, either. What works for me may not work for you, so knowing what your skin needs is essential. Mostly everyone isn’t hydrating or protecting their skin enough, so there are products listed below that will dramatically improve those areas.

As for makeup, if a brand is vegan, cruelty-free, and allergy-tested, we can focus on finding the best shades and highest-quality products. Taking all of that makeup off can be a chore, but with the right face cleanser, it doesn’t have to be all that bad. We like to make the process of a skincare routine as simple and quick as possible so we can get back to what we’d all rather be doing — relaxing. It is my recommendation as a makeup and skincare lover and licensed cosmetologist of over a decade that these products are the best out there — and they’re all available online!

See which 16 beauty products are the best of 2023 below.
