Beauty Awards 2019: The Make-up That Takes You Into the Night

The workday is done and it’s time to turn up the glamour. We’ve got just the ticket, whether you’re in the mood for a lashing of red lipstick or a hint of iridescent sparkle, with these party-ready make-up picks.  

The Contour & Highlight

Why buy two products when you can get them in one? Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze & Glow is our choice for subtle contouring and universally flattering highlights. Available in two colour combos, including medium to dark (pictured). charlottetilbury.com  

The Longwear Foundation

It feels like 2019 has been the year of the foundation. YSL All Hours Liquid Foundation stood out with its promise of 24-hour, flawless matte coverage. We even tested it on a cover shoot and it definitely held its own. yslbeauty.com.hk  

The Eyeliner

Everyone knows this brand for its cult-favourite eye-shadow palettes, but we’re casting our vote for the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil, thanks to its creamy -- and waterproof -- texture and 24 fun shades that range from deep black to neon green. urbandecay.com.hk  

The Eyeshadow

If you’re like us and prefer to keep things simple, Dolce & Gabbana IntensEyes Creamy Eyeshadow Stick is the perfect day-to-night make-up transition piece. Apply, blend and off you go. dolcegabbana.com  

The Lip Products

When it comes to glamming it up, you can’t go wrong with a bold lip. And nowadays there are so many colours, textures and formulas to choose from that we couldn’t pick just one. Each of these products is great on its own but wouldn’t it be better to just have them all? Claiming to be "more than a lipstick", Chanel Rouge Coco Flash comes in 27 bold hues as well as three translucent top coats. We like the smooth textures and ease of application. chanel.com Another case of one just isn't enough, Christian Louboutin Rouge Louboutin Collection features the designer's iconic red in three must-have finishes. asia.christianlouboutin.com As soon as we heard about Kilian Le Rouge Parfum from creator Kilian Hennessy himself, we were hooked. The matte and satin finishes come with a marshmallow-y gourmand scent. bykilian.com Matte lips look nice but they're not always easy to achieve. NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil is one way we've found to get a smooth, sharp finish. narscosmetics.com.hk  

The Multitasker

Part of the brand’s reinvented make-up line, Shiseido Aura Dew immediately caught our eye with its silky, shimmering texture that can be used as an eye shadow, highlighter, lip gloss, we could go on... shiseido.com.hk  

The Mascara

Length, volume, drama and lift -- Hourglass Cosmetics Caution Extreme Lash Mascara claims to do it all. It may not make our coffee too, but we loved the clump-free, buildable formula and durability. hourglasscosmetics.com.
