New Makeup For The New Year That You Need Now

by Miki Hayes

With the holiday season behind us and cold months ahead, we beauty junkies need something to carry us through the beginning of the new year. And what better to help us get over the long nights and freezing temps than new makeup collections? Because one of the best things about new spring releases is that they're already here. I must admit I often hate how early fall and winter collections are released, because it makes summer seem prematurely over. But in the winter? I don't know about you, but I'm always ready for an early spring.

And if these new releases are any indication, this spring will be a good (and beautiful) one. Whether you love brow pencils, liquid lipsticks, eyeshadow palettes, or all of the above, a plethora of brands have unveiled some on-point products that I can't wait to get my cold, little hands on. Because, you know, a winter spent dreaming about and playing with new makeup isn't such a bad winter. The only difficult task will be selecting which products to make your own. Up for the challenge? Here are 14 brands with new products and collections that you'll be totally obsessed with.
