Kara McGrath's Beauty Edit

My waves love nothing more than this gel from Ceremonia. It adds tons of texture and body but doesn't look overly crunchy.

I have an entire wall of nail polish in my office, but I find myself reaching for this dusty lilac more than any other. It's a more unexpected version of a neutral, and this formula almost always goes a whole work week without chipping.

My all-time favorite everyday mascara! "Amplifying" describes what it does perfectly: It adds just a touch of volume and length, leading to a "your lashes, but better" moment.

A daytime version of the brand's uber-popular lip mask, it gives you a glossy finish with just a touch of color that pairs well with any makeup look.

This brush has changed my cream blush game. The dense, angled bristles lead to perfect application every single time.

I had pretty much sworn off bronzer until this one came out. (No offense bronzer; I'm just more of a blush gal.) I dab it on my cheekbones, nose, and forehead for a natural, dewy glow.

A product with SPF 50+ that leaves you glowy, not greasy? Sign me up. This is my favorite sunscreen to wear under makeup these days.
