From skin-loving cushion compacts to colour correctors to hide dark circles and limited edition lip palettes with pretty yet wearable shades, these are the items our beauty editor is currently obsessed with.
I’m usually not a big user of base makeup, but I love their cushions for their natural finish, good coverage yet lightweight feel. Extremely hydrating, this is formulated with red pine, the signature anti-ageing ingredient in the brand’s exclusive TimeTreasure range, this helps to repair damage and strengthen skin. It also has the antioxidant–rich plum blossom extract to fight free radical damage, boost vitality and purify, as well as a Radiance Pearl Powder complex to reflect light and immediately give you a gorgeous glow.
While this gives buildable medium to high coverage, it still retains a fluid ampoule-like texture that glides easily over skin and feels almost weightless, making it great for our hot, humid temperature. To ensure an even application, the formula features a
Watercolor Technology that disperses the pigment molecules in water – instead of oil – so the cushion glides over skin easily for a cleaner coverage that never cakes.
It also has an exclusive Ultrafine Fiber Brush Puff that is embedded with micro fibers that act like tiny brushes, so you can swipe on your makeup (instead of the usual patting motion) to hide flaws like fine lines and open pores.
I’m a sucker for chic packaging, and Tom Ford Beauty never fails to impress me. Housed in a reflective ivory-and-gold-colored clutch, this palette contains four eye shadows, a soft peachy highlighter and a rosy blush. It has everything I need for a day at work or a late night out, and has since become my travel companion. I don’t even have to pack a bag of make up anymore, I just need to pick this up and go.
Colour-changing lippies have always been one of my favourite beauty products because they give your puckers vibrant colour that never looks too over done. They work in a variety of ways. Some react to the unique chemistry of your lips to create the perfect hue, while others change according to your body’s pH levels. This gloss starts off with a light transparent pink shade that can deepens to an almost cherry red. And the best thing about it: it somehow always goes perfectly with my complexion.
If you think using a skin tone concealer is enough to hide flaws, think again. These days, it’s all about colour correcting pens and crayons to enhance, balance and neutralise flaws. This light lavender is extremely lightweight and blendable, it looks natural whether applied under makeup or on its own. I use it to hide dark circles because it immediately brightens my eye area without looking like I have a ton of concealer on.
This combines two things I love: beauty and art. Inspired by the roaring ‘20s, the case is designed by modern pop artist Ashley Longshore known for her quirky paintings, strong social media following and celebrity fans.This gordeous palettes contains the brand’s creamy Velvet Lipstick, lightweight Satin Lipstick as well as an entirely new gloss. The shades are all entirely new and exclusive to this limited edition piece.
