Feel like shopping for new makeup items? Check this list out first!
It’s a pretty big bummer that we aren’t able to test out new makeup items at the stores anymore but in the name of safety, it’s the definitely the right move. Makeup samples may harbour bacteria and one swipe of a lipstick tester could even end up giving you herpes. Yikes! So while shopping for new cosmetics may be a little bit of a challenge, take it as blessing that you’re no longer exposed to the possibility of harm. That being said, if you find you’re at a loss for what to buy right now, check out this list of new makeup items now!
Protect and glow
Another year, another cushion technology. Not that I’m complaining! Cushion foundations have become a staple in our handbags due to their ease of use and high performance and this time, Laneige takes it to the next level by introducing the new Neo cushions. What’s different this round? It is the first cushion to be certified for blue light filtering and helps protect you from blue light emitted from tech devices thanks to titanium dioxide. Choose from Matte and Glow variants to fit your skin needs; I’ve been using Glow for a couple of weeks and it does the job in making my skin radiant thanks to its diamond powders, and moisturised at the same time.
Cover your bases
Speaking of blue light protection, here’s another treat that will do just that and more, the Milani Cosmetics Screen Queen Natural Finish Foundation. It’s made with Digital Bluelight Filter technology and delivers buildable medium coverage to blur out pores and blemishes just like that! It really does give your skin a natural, smooth and most of all, comfortable finish and I find myself reaching for this foundation more than the others in my makeup collection recently.
Sunkissed all over
Nudestix’s best-selling Nudies All-Over-Face has definitely been a long-time favourite and I’m so happy five new colours are introduced, especially these ones that promise to give you that ‘spent days at the beach’ glow. Beach Babe and Terracotta Tan are new bronze shades that add a beautiful fresh shimmer to your complexion. Nude Peach and Salty Siren are coral matte colours that give your skin a soft blush tint. Meanwhile, Bubbly Bébé is a gorgeous nude pink champagne shade that can be used as a highlighter to amp up the radiance in your complexion. The Nudies are soft, creamy, pigmented and best of all, multifunctional – use them on your eyes, lips, cheeks and any way you want to!
Soft and glazed
When @badgalriri drops something new, you know it’s a good one. While the Pro Kiss’r Luscious Lip Balm isn’t entirely new, there are three sheer latest shades, Cocoa Drizzle, Latte Lips and Pinch Me, to give your pout a subtle tint, generous shine and a big moisture boost from its formula of shea and mango seed butters. Seriously, with this on, your lips will look luscious AF. Another favourite thing about this balm is its doe-foot applicator that feels lush on your lips.
Get, set, relax!
If you’ve been giving loose powders a miss, then this one will make you rethink your decision. The key to making your makeup last all day is by using a setting powder to mattify skin and absorb excess oil. The Zoeva Authentik Skin Finishing Powder is ultra soft, finely milled and gives your complexion an all-day seamless finish. You won’t even feel it on your skin! Its formula uses a lightweight blend of silica beads that sucks in excess sebum and is enriched with tourmaline, amethyst and quartz powders to giving you an oil-free, radiant and natural finish.
