Getting into spring and looking ahead towards summer, our beauty needs start to change. We want bright, sunny makeup. We need to have some oil-controlling skincare at the ready. And we must think about preventing our hair from getting fried by the elements. A few fresh beauty buys can help us go optimistically into the warmer months knowing we have some solution-based hair and skin products at the ready and a some fun new makeup to try.

Up ahead, the best new beauty products that launched in April 2022 that will help us face whatever next month brings.
