FACIAL MOISTURIZERS

Clinique Comfort on Call Allergy Tested Relief Cream ($40; clinique.com).  If your face is on the drier side and seems to react to anything you put on it, “this fragrance-free formula, with skin-calming jabara fruit extract, is for you,” says Shape editorial advisory board member and spa expert Mary Bemis.

FOUNDATION

Almay Pure Blends Makeup ($14; at drugstores). “My skin is very sensitive, so I don’t usually wear foundation–but this one was so light, I forgot I had it on,” said a tester. Made with 97 percent natural ingredients–including botanicals–this foundation is notable for what’s not in it: potentially irritating fragrances, parabens, and talc.

LIP COLOR

CoverGirl Outlast Lipstain ($7; at drugstores). Testers repeatedly commented on this long-lasting stain’s “fabulous texture.”  ”It felt like it wasn’t there–even though it stayed on throughout my entire lunch,” said one.  The addition of conditioners, like glycerin and hyaluronic acid, ensures that lips will stay soft and hydrated.

HAIR COLOR

L’Oréal Paris Excellence-to-Go ($9; at drugstores).  Even at-home-hair-color novices fell in love with this comb-in formula’s almost instant results.  ”After just 10 minutes, I had deep, rich, really natural-looking color,” reported one tester.  A new technology helps pigment sink quickly into strands without causing damage.  The comb applicator also makes it easy to apply all over or just as a root touch-up. 
 
SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER

Pantene Pro-V Nature Fusion Moisture Balance Shampoo and Conditioner ($4 each; at drugstores).  This cleansing and conditioning duo relies on the power of natural ingredients–cassia, calendula, ginger, and aloe vera–to leave hair silky and resilient.  The cassia complex forms a protective seal around strands that locks in moisture and helps your brush or comb glide through hair without snagging. “Daily blow-drying makes my hair brittle, but after using this combo regularly, my hair felt stronger and softer,” said a tester.
