This Berlin import of professional (seriously) cosmetics is fairly new to the Windy City, but we're already hooked on its rich, long-lasting formulas — and we're pretty sure you will be, too.

Top Seller: Variety Eyeshadow Palette
"The Variety Palette is something everyone can use, as the colors aren’t too bold, but you still get a great choice of 18 eyeshadow colors," says Chicago district manager Ulrike Bege.

Kryolan Variety Palette, $49, available at Kryolan.

Bege's Pick: Eyeshadow Primer
"Eyeshadow Primer is my top pick. It’s a perfect base for long-lasting eye makeup and prevents eyeshadow from creasing and fading throughout the day. It has a lovely soft texture that does not dry out your eyelids, which is important during the winter months — especially here in Chicago."

Kryolan Eyeshadow Primer, $18, available at Kryolan.
