The Best of Sephora Awards for 2007

Cosmetics and beauty retailer Sephora just released its annual Best of Sephora picks for 2007. This annual list is considered by most to be one of the top cosmetics and beauty "best of" lists, as winners are chosen by the customers themselves, not by a gaggle of stuffy women's magazine editors. Here's a wrap up of which products took the gold in each category.

Complexion

Gone are the days of liquid foundation followed by a heavy matte finish powder. In 2007, pore-friendly mineral make-up reigns supreme. The Bare Minerals mineral make-up system by cosmetics giant Bare Escentuals was picked as the best foundation, powder, and concealer. Cult hit Photo Finish by Smashbox was the pick for best make-up primer, and Laura Mercier was the pick for favorite tinted moisturizer.

Eyes

It's no surprise that eyebrow waxer to the stars Anastasia won for best eyebrow enhancer with her All About Brows kit. Best eyeshadow went to Smashbox's Eye Shadow Trio in Headshot, a three-color palette with a pinky and chocolate shade that flatters any complexion. Dior's smash DiorShow mascara was named the best of its category, while best eye liner went to Sephora's in-house brand.

Lips

Nars' lip gloss version of their epically popular Orgasm blush won in its category, while the spicy cinnamon scented Lip Venom by DuWop was the pick for best lip plumper. Nars also won for best lipstick, with their semi-matte pale pink Dolce Vita shade.

Cheeks

Two cult favorites in this category. Best bronzer went to Benefit's Hoola, an adorably packaged shimmering bronzer that makes you simply glow. Best blush went to - you guessed it - Nars Orgasm, the miraculous pressed powder blush that manages to flatter any skin tone.

Skincare

Philosophy took two categories for skin care; best cleanser went to Purity Made Simple, and best moisturizer went to Hope in a Jar for the second year in a row. Kinerase Intensive Eye Cream was deemed the best of its category, while the breakthrough and first of its kind Bare Escentuals RareMinerals powder was picked as best skin treatment product.
