MASK SHISEIDO LIFTDEFINE RADIANCE FACE MASK
($135, shiseido.com)
Brilliantly conceived, this two-piece mask adheres perfectly to the face and jaw, infusing skin with a vitamin-rich serum and botanical extracts to boost collagen production and lift, brighten and strengthen.
“I’ve used many sheet masks over the past few years, but this must be the most luxurious one. The scent, the texture, the amazing glow it gives me afterwards—it’s really that good. It’s my go-to whenever I have a big event or just want to feel confident in my skin before an important meeting.”
– SHANICE ZOETEWEIJ, ELLE NETHERLANDS
MOISTURIZER AUGUSTINUS BADER THE CREAM WITH TFC8

“I can’t live without this! The formula is light and smooth, it evens out my skin tone and gives it a healthy glow and my skin stays hydrated all day. Plus, you can easily apply makeup over it. My skin has never looked better.” – CAROLINA ALVAREZ,
