I’ve been a fan of Hourglass as early as the 2010s, having discovered the brand while watching YouTubers rave about the near-magical powers of the powders every chance they had—and I still can’t get enough. Nearly every new launch they’ve debuted in the past few years has been a winner in my book. I am to Hourglass what the BeyHive is to Beyoncé. I’ve practically tested every formula.

According to my calculations, plus reviews from hundreds of customers, the products in the guide below are the nine best Hourglass products you should try. This isn’t to say that the rest of the product line isn’t great; there are many other favorites that I wasn’t able to include. However, if I could only suggest nine products for someone to test first, these would be it.

Best Glossy Balm

Some may dislike minty feeling

TikTok adores this glossy balm, and so do I. The moisturizing formula feels like a lip balm, makes your lips look like sunlit stain glass, and gently plumps the lips. Because it’s so juicy and melty, it requires the structure of the tube to keep it intact; as a result, the pen winds up but not down, so be careful not to dispense too much product at once.
