20 Editor-Approved Beauty Products to Shop NowHearst Owned
As Cosmo’s beauty director, I wear a lot of hats—but the most important hat of all is testing and reviewing every new makeup, skincare, haircare, and fragrance launch that enters our beauty closet. What’s a beauty closet, you ask? It’s a 100-square-foot slice of heaven at Cosmo HQ, filled wall to wall with the newest beauty products.
Each day, beauty brands send dozens of packages filled with their latest launches for me and the rest of the team to try out. If something truly lives up to the hype, we share it with you. This month, we’re rounding up all of our favorite April 2026 beauty products into one conveniently curated list below. Keep scrolling for our reviews on new drops from top-rated brands like Dyson, Byredo, Prada Beauty, and more.
