This $7 foundation stick surprised us |
 |
| Michael Hession/NYT Wirecutter |
For our brand-new guide to foundations, our beauty expert sorted through nearly 100 options and, alongside a diverse panel, rigorously tested 34. A sleeper hit? This creamy stick, which outperformed contenders that cost more than five times as much. Testers gushed over the way it seemed to melt into skin, producing a satiny finish: “It didn’t leave me looking like a grease ball,” one said. “It just made my skin radiant in all the right places.”

Plus: A milky essence for glazed-donut skin |
 |
| Rhode |
We tested every single beauty and skin-care product from Hailey Bieber’s Rhode. And this milky essence is one of the items that our panelists, across all skin types, liked the most. The liquid has the opacity of, well, milk, and applying it to the skin feels instantly nourishing.

Your daily deal: “The only bra I don’t fling across the room as soon as I get home” |
 |
| Michael Murtaugh/NYT Wirecutter |
This blissfully comfortable and currently on-sale bra offers a just-right amount of shaping and lift (think: subtle push-up, not va-va-voom). Without any scratchy tags or too-sharp hooks, it’s the type of bra you forget you’re wearing. Today, it’s more than $30 off.
Why we love this (currently more than $30 off) bra→
Today’s very good gift: A lamp that casts a golden-hour glow |
 |
| Michael Murtaugh/NYT Wirecutter |
This rechargeable lamp casts a lovely halo of warm yellow and orange (or purple, red, or blue) light around the room. Think of it as a pick-me-up for your giftee during the gray, gloomy days of winter, when the sun’s rays seem like a distant memory.
A gift we think anyone — but especially a picky Gen Zer — would love→
