Our Editors Have Tested a Lot of Products, but These Are Their Favorites For September

"Most people can't leave the house without mascara or concealer, but for me, that must-have makeup product is blush — specifically cream blush. I recently ran out of my very pricey fave, but I happened to have the new Mary Kay Cream Blush Duo Stick ($18) waiting in the wings. And I couldn't be more impressed. I love, love, love that it comes in a stick, and I feel like a veritable MUA having two shades to add dimension. It's creamy but has a velvety finish, and it doesn't settle into lines and pores. All that for $18, which is about two thirds cheaper than the one I was using before." — DD
