February favourites
Here are some of our musthaves you will not regret adding to your beauty shelf. By Letty Seah
1. Sulwhasoo Perfecting Cushion, $100
The cult-favourite semi-matte cushion foundation gets a skin-friendly update thanks to the addition of the K-beauty brand’s patented Jaum Activator, a revitalising ingredient found in its First Care Activating Serum. Comes in five shades.
2. Guerlain Orchidee Imperiale Gold Nobile The Cream, $1,150
Formulated in partnership with Palacky University in Czech Republic, this unique concoction is said to enhance skin’s luminosity by reflecting light at a quantum level. On top of that, the formula also harnesses the glow-giving powers of the Himalayan Gold Nobile orchid, a flower that has been prized for its skin-illuminating properties.
3. Fasio Ultra Waterproof Mascara, $18
If you’re looking for an affordably priced mascara that defines and thickens the lashes sans clumping or smudging, look no further than this J-beauty must-have. Thanks to its slightly curved, thin mascara wand, it’s great for separating and lifting stumpy, stubborn lashes, especially in those hardto-reach areas.
4. Romi Glow Getter Treatment Mask, $29 for a box of five sheets
Formulated with a cocktail of pre- and probiotics, antioxidants, amino acids, as well as vitamins B5 and C, this sheet mask (made with 100 per cent biodegradable eucalyptus cellulose) offers a heavy dose of moisture without irritating the skin.
5. Nars Powermatte Lip Pencil, $44
This dual function lippy takes the guesswork out of lip liner and lipstick pairings. With its buttery, emollient-rich consistency and rich colour pay-off, it’s perfect for outlining or filling in your pout completely. Comes in 10 shades.
6. Beyond Angel Aqua Moisture Sun Cream, $22
Not only does this lightweight formula glide on effortlessly to offer protection against UV rays, it also cools (by up to 4.2 deg C) and hydrates an overheated, ruddy complexion with a blend of moisturising and soothing hyaluronic acid, panthenol and wild chervil extract.
