What you need, what you want, and what really works
PUCKER UP
A virtual boardroom meeting calls for a power red lip, but for everything else, go for a tinted lip balm such as Clé de Peau Beauté’s Lip Glorifier in 01 Pink ($62), which keeps your pout hydrated and helps you look fresh-faced.
PERFECT THAT COMPLEXION
The best foundation is one you apply and then forget it was ever there, like the long-wearing Chanel Ultra Le Teint Fluide ($88). Heat-, sweat- and humidity-proof, it keeps shine under control for up to 24 hours.
PLAY UP THOSE EYES
Heavy eyeliner may be a tad excessive when working from home, so reach for a mascara instead to accent your peepers. As its name promises, the Full Frontal Volume, Lift & Curl Mascara from Fenty Beauty ($39) helps even the wimpiest lashes appear full and fluttery.
PREP FOR PRIMETIME ACTION
Minimise the look of pores and help your foundation go on more smoothly with Shiseido’s Synchro Skin Tone Up Primer Compact ($68). Wear this under makeup to prolong its wear or over makeup to impart a subtle glow.
POWER UP
For something that’s as good at blurring imperfections as beauty filters, there’s the Poudre De Beauté Mat Naturel – Beauty Powder from Gucci Beauty ($95). It glides on effortlessly, has a feather-light texture, and can be used on its own for naturallooking coverage or over foundation to help it stay in place.
BE MIST-IF I ED
Spritz on a facial mist for an instant dose of moisture or when you hit that midday slump. One to try is the Hyaluronic Energizing Mist from Tom Ford Beauty ($106). It has a blend of hyaluronic acid, caffeine and vitamin E to boost hydration, leaving skin soft and supple while refreshing makeup.
GET GLOWING
For the finishing touch to envy-inducing radiant skin, look to Dior’s Diorskin Mineral Nude Glow Color Games in 001 Pink Flame ($84). With pearl-infused minerals, the highlighting powder imparts a shimmery glow to skin. The darker hue can do double duty as a blusher, bringing subtle colour to the cheeks for a healthy-looking flush.
