It’s the year of the woman, and #girlpower abounds. We’ve assembled some of our favorite ultra-motivating, confidence-boosting finds to inspire you and show your support for the fellow femmes in your world.

Don’t Be Shy

Every woman should own a strong-willed red lipstick. For me it’s KW Red ($56) by Kjaer Weis. Created by a dynamic woman for indomitable women, this scarlet lip color flatters all skin tones.
