The 16 New Makeup Products Our Editors Are Loving This August

"If you didn't get the hint, this primer is matte. My favorite way to use the Erborian Extra Matte Ultra Mattifying Primer ($42) is alone, sans makeup, when I'm running errands or don't feel like going for the glam. The thing is, so many primers tout the fact that they're matte, which is great, but then they're full of denatured alcohol, so that the product dries quickly and doesn't leave behind residue. The thing is, that can dry out your skin, which can lead to more oil and can ultimately make you use more matte products — it's a vicious cycle. My skin hasn't felt flaky or like a barren desert, and the light-reflecting pigments help with my skin tone." — KJ
