May Beauty Picks

The beauty director for Marie Claire, Ying Chu, picks her favorite beauty products for the month:

Jason Wu (fave designer for none other than the First Lady) has turned his impeccable eye for color over to his own line of nail polish colors for CND, $47 for a set of five. Available at cnd.com.

Chanel, as with everything they do, found something perfect for everyone when they came out with this line of lipstick, Rouge Coco Shine, $32. Ying’s favorite color is “Boy,” a rosy nude that gives just a touch of satiny color. Available at chanel.com.

Mary Kay hops on the bright color trend for spring with Weekender Pencils, $14. The creamy formula is perfect for day and can also be intensified for night. Try Coral Stone over lip balm and Turquoise Waters as eyeliner. Available at marykay.com.

Illamasqua’s Precision Ink’s in Glister, $28 is a flesh-toned liquid eyeliner that brightens up tired eyes without looking “made up.” Line inside rims for a wide-awake effect. Available at sephora.com.
