WELCOME TO THE FUTURE!

Keep up with the latest innovations in beauty with these new releases...

If you made a New Year’s resolution to step-up your skincare, (1) Clinique Fresh Pressed Clinical Daily + Overnight Boosters, from $68, are the perfect way to kick-start your new regime. The daytime booster is loaded with fresh vitamin C, while the evening version uses the anti-ageing power of vitamin A (retinol). Used alone or mixed into moisturiser, they make a fantastic, skin-changing team.

Here’s a way to avoid a sunscreen meltdown, even when you are at your most hot and bothered, and be rewarded with a complexion that’s fresh, even and protected from the sun.

The secret to (2) Shiseido HydroBB Compact for Sports SPF50+, $59, is a water-resistant formula that acts like a veil on the skin, wicking away beads of sweat before they have a chance to drip down and sting your eyes.

We’ve seen plenty of blush/highlight stick combinations in our time, but none as unusually shaped as (3) Revlon PhotoReady Instant Cheek Maker, $28. When you place it on the apple of your cheek and swipe it up and along your cheekbone, it cleverly hugs the contours – placing the highlighter right above the blush. It gives a very luminous finish that you’ll need to blend lightly with your fingertips, or a brush, so there are no obvious lines.
