The end of the year might just be a few weeks away but we’re already looking forward to some of the awesome upcoming beauty launches in 2018. From the prettiest of eyeshadow palettes to lip powders, here’s a sneak peek at some of the best limited edition makeup that will be released early next year.
This palette is not only really wearable (according to celebrity makeup artist Clarence Lee, pink is actually one of the most wearable shades for Asians), we are loving the “embroidered” design on the shadows.
This artisanal lip pigment takes a cue from the colours and tempera technique of Pompeiian frescoes. A powder is mixed by the wearer with a balm, generating a blurred, painterly effect – with as much or as little intensity of colour as desired so you can create a personalised lip colour.
We’re suckers for cute packaging, which is why we’re loving the adorable Shu Bear graphics on this lippie. Another thing we’re digging, how wearable this rose red shade is.
Designed to help you create a V-shaped face, this powder compact opens to reveal three luminous correcting shades that offer softness, radiance and lightweight correction. The matte and rosy shades refresh and catch the light for a soft, delicately glowing complexion.
Inspired by acid brights and magic lights, this limited edition palette contains a mirage of blues with accents of pink. The solar gold becomes a highlighter, while the blues, both light and dark, add a daring touch to this clash of colours; and rose-pink softens the entire look.
This contains eyeshadows with a new formula to give even richer colour payoff. The powders are suspended in a liquid binding system that provides intense, high-impact colours. The palette includes 12 different shades in finishes, from buttery mattes, lustrous satins, soft shimmers and glittering metallics.
This palette is a play on texture as well as colour: there are three matte, three satin and three high-shine shades, all soft and extremely blendable. Inspired by Naples, the universally flattering shades range from brighter to more muted tones, reflecting Naples and its myriad influences: ancient and modern, sacred and sensual, historical and alive. A bright green sits alongside a faded grey-green. A luminous peachy beige is tempered by a subtle mink brown. A bright gold sings out beside a dark rusty-red brown. Each colour can be traced back to a visionary moment on Lucia Pica’s Neapolitan journey, from volcanic rocks to the sea at nightfall.
Could a lipstick get any cuter? This gorgeous bright red lipstick not only gives your pucker a luminuous wash of colour, it’s also extremely nourishing and hydrating.
YSL’s lippies are always a favourite amongst beauty junkies and industry insiders alike. This gorgeous lip palette contains a large mirror and five emblematic shades. The lip creams are creamy and give intense colour pay-off. It also includes a brush for easy application.
