Caudalie x Harvard Medical School Premier Cru Collection

Expert skincare brand Caudalie has partnered with genetics professor Dr David Sinclair of Harvard Medical School to bring us the new Premier Cru Collection, which features patented TET8TM technology to remove signs of ageing, aiding the natural production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.

That means slowing down worrying visible features like deep wrinkles, fine lines, and dark spots while supporting your skin’s firmness, elasticity, and radiance. Like all its products, the line is clean with no endocrine disruptors, no irritants, no animal-derived ingredients and no non-biodegradable ingredients.

N°1 De CHANEL Red Camellia Revitalizing Serum

Chanel’s new No1 beauty collection is dedicated to a distinctive red version of founder Gabrielle Chanel’s favourite flower: the camellia. In particular, the skincare line features potent infusions of the red camellia, harnessing its anti-ageing and nourishing properties.

Our pick is the lightweight gel-texture serum, which works to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and pores, and improves skin elasticity. And the collection makes every effort to be more sustainable, with 30 percent less packaging as well as refillable products.

Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv Ultimate Diamond Transformative Brilliance Serum

From Estee Lauder, the Re-Nutriv Ultimate Diamond Transformative Brilliance Serum is a skincare gem (see what we did there?), made with a potent infusion of the brand’s exclusive Black Diamond Truffle Extract and Vitamin C to reveal brighter, more radiant skin that’s noticeably firmer and more supple.

Hourglass Equilibrium Instant Plumping Eye Mask

New from Hourglass Cosmetics, the aptly named Equilibrium Instant Plumping Eye Mask is a powerful treatment for the eye area, hydrating and plumping while reducing the look of puffiness and eye bags. Its gel formula is infused with one plumping and one cell-balancing complex. What more could you need?

La Mer The Eye Concentrate

Celebrity-favourite skincare brand La Mer has created the ultimate eye cream: The Eye Concentrate. Promising to be your solution to fine lines, wrinkles and dark circles, the fast-absorbing cream is made specially for the delicate area under your eyes, and is powered by a concentrated form of the luxury brand?s cell-renewing Miracle Broth™, brightening molasses, soothing kelp, and lime tea.

NARS Light Reflecting Skincare Collection

NARS? all-new Light Reflecting Skincare has been expertly developed to hydrate, smooth, firm and plump your face ? delivering glass-like skin that promises to reflect light.

The line-up includes a lightweight gel-cream moisturiser, a peptide- and hyaluronic acid-packed eye and lash gel, a clarifying treatment, a restorative skin barrier-strengthening night treatment and, perhaps the standout, a dual-texture firming serum that harnesses the power of gold fortified peptides, red snow extract and encapsulated baobab oil. The collection is available in NARS stores, boutique counters, and the brand’s eShop.

The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution

One of the most asked-about products from The Ordinary, the previously discontinued 2% Salicylic Acid product is back and better than before. An exfoliator created for blemish-prone skin, the Salicylic Acid 2% Solution is designed to clear dead skin cells that can contribute to clogged pores, aiding in your skin’s clarity.

If this version is still too strong, consider the Salicylic Acid 2% Anhydrous Solution, a gentler approach to decongestion and exfoliation that delivers the active acid in a slower manner.

YSL Beaute Eye Reboot Concentrate

A new addition to the brand?s Pure Shots range, the Eye Reboot Concentrate from YSL Beauty promises to help your skin-fatigue recovery, combatting signs of exhaustion on the face where it shows up first ? the contours of your eyes.

Beautifully complementing the Night Reboot Serum, this lightweight concentrate features antioxidant-packed moonlight cactus and a unique caffeine complex. Apply a single pump to the eye contour day and night, and use in tandem with the serum for best results. It’s available to purchase at Lane Crawford.

Dolce & Gabbana Beauty Sheerlips Hydrating Tinted Lip Balm

The first lip care product from Dolce & Gabbana Beauty, the Sheerlips Hydrating Tinted Lip Balm is infused with Dolce & Gabbana Beauty?s Mediterranean Glow Complex and sunflower seed wax to deliver hydration, all-day comfort and a subtle touch of colour. It comes in four flower-inspired shades in signature D&G gold packaging.

Gucci Beauty S?rum De Beaut? Fluide Matifiant Primer

Gucci Beauty?s S?rum de Beaut? Fluide Matifiant is the brand?s first mattifying primer, with a gel formula developed to suit and care for all skin types while keeping makeup looking fresh all day. It can be used alone to even out complexion and blur the appearance of pores, or to blend seamlessly with foundation for a natural, long-wearing look.

Hourglass Confession Lipstick ? Red 0

Previously released as a special-edition item, Hourglass’ Confession Lipstick in shade Red 0 is back. Featuring a one-of-a-kind vegan red, this is one of the few (perhaps only) red lipstick on the market that is truly cruelty-free and completely vegan. Instead of the beauty industry’s standard red pigment made from crushed female insects, this lipstick used no animal by-products, harming no animals in its production and testing.

The post New in Beauty This February 2022: Skincare and Makeup Drops We’re Coveting appeared first on Prestige Online - Hong Kong.

With surgical masks being compulsory for the foreseeable future, it’s time to really put some graft in to make sure our eyes — basically the only visible portion of our faces — continue to shine.  

Eye creams are one of those finicky products that we tend to gloss over in our teens and twenties. So unnecessary; we’ve probably never experienced a wrinkle or crease in our lives. Suddenly, at the turn of the next decade, it’s all we can talk about. Does this eye cream contain retinol? Is it hydrating? It is de-puffing? Throw in the excessive straining of eyes at screens all day and — help! — a hint of crow’s feet has been detected.  

Well, it’s time to accept fate and pay a bit more care to the most delicate part of our faces. Here are some of our favourites.

New in Beauty This January 2022

Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia Fragrance

It’s difficult to tell what’s most intriguing about Flora Gorgeous Gardenia, the newest fragrance from Gucci: the floral but delicately sweet scent or the stunning bottle it comes in. The perfume blends white gardenia with jasmine grandiflorum and pear blossom, with a touch of brown sugar accord, for a captivating but never overpowering fragrance. And the lacquered pink bottle — featuring the Flora pattern originally created for Gucci in 1966 by artist Vittorio Accornero, now re-imagined by creative director Alessandro Michele — is a standout.

Nonfiction For Rest Fragrance

The sixth signature scent from minimalist Korean beauty brand Nonfiction promises to be sophisticated and modern, with a simple monochrome identity and a fresh woodsy musk scent created by master perfumer Barnabé Fillion. The main notes include hinoki, frankincense, Turkish rose, yuzu and nutmeg. In two sizes, Nonfiction For Rest Fragrance is available at Sephora Hong Kong.

Jimmy Choo Beauty Capsule Collection

Jimmy Choo has launched a make-up and fragrance capsule collection, comprising lipsticks and an exclusive set of six concentrated perfumes. Scents include notes of iris, vanilla, rose, white musk and oud wood. The entire collection is available at a Beauty Botanica pop-up in Landmark until the end of this month, and at select Jimmy Choo boutiques.

Moncler Pour Femme & Moncler Pour Homme Fragrances

Best known for skiwear, Moncler has released its first fragrances: Moncler Pour Femme and Moncler Pour Homme. The scents are the work of four master perfumers who created concoctions that pay homage to the brand’s alpine identity — the fragrance duo share a unique mountain wood accord exclusive to Moncler, and are housed in flask-shaped bottles.

NARS Lunar New Year Collection

If you’re already missing NYE celebrations, ring in the CNY with the Lunar New Year Collection from NARS, which includes two limited-edition products in traditional red and gold packaging. We love the look of the Taj Mahal Quad Eyeshadow — an ultra-luxe four-pan palette inspired by the brand’s classic blush shade — that features a yellow-gold shimmer, a light peach shimmer, a multidimensional burnt-orange shimmer, and a purple-red matte.

MATCHY! Magnetic Lashes

Touted as the first magnet-based false lash brand in Asia, MATCHY! has debuted in Hong Kong with a range of falsies that snap on without the need for glue. Whether you’re a novice or an expert, they promise to give you the lash look you’re after — delicate and natural-looking, thick and full, long and luscious — in no time, and with little effort or mess. The brand carries black and brown lashes in 12 styles and is available at matchylashes.com

Guerlain Orchidée Impériale Foundation Concentrate

Harnessing the brand’s exclusive brightening technology, Guerlain’s new Orchidée Impériale Foundation Concentrate is a skincare–makeup hybrid that delivers intense hydration, high coverage and a flawless finish for up to 10 hours. Velvety to the touch, it adapts to the contours of the face while avoiding bleeding into wrinkles and fine lines — ideal for those with mature or textured skin who seek a natural look.

Kérastase Chronologiste

The rejuvenating Chronologiste range from expert hair care brand Kérastase harnesses the power of three star ingredients — hyaluronic acid, vitamin E and abyssine — to deeply nourish the hair, repair damage and protect your strands from external aggressors. Products include a pre-shampoo hair cleanser, a gentle revitalising shampoo, a hair mask, fragrance hair oil, a heat protectant and a hair serum.

Dior Addict Lip Maximizer Serum

One of the French luxury brand’s star beauty products, the Dior Addict Lip Maximizer plumping gloss is now available as a lip care-focused clear hybrid gloss-serum. The Dior Addict Lip Maximizer Serum promises 24 hours of hydration, nourishing and smoothening the lips with the use of mallow extract, 100% natural-origin hyaluronic acid, a blend of sensorial oils and vegetable waxes, and a peptide that helps stimulate collagen.

Tatcha Red Camellia The Kissu Lip Mask

Tatcha’s bestselling The Kissu Lip Mask is getting a tinted update, featuring the same smoothening and plumping formula with a brand new subtle red hue. Harnessing the nourishing properties of Japanese peach extract, squalane and camellia oil, the non-sticky jelly lip treatment is now available in a limited-edition “Red Camellia” form inspired by the striking red flower of the same name, exclusively at Lane Crawford.

Chloé Eau de Parfum Naturelle

A new addition to french luxury house Chloé’s signature perfume collection, Eau de Parfum Naturelle is a 100-percent natural-origin fragrance developed with ethically sourced ingredients and lower-impact packaging. Featuring the Maison’s fresh woodsy-rose scent, the formula is vegan with water and naturally derived alcohol and free from artificial colouring.

Burberry Matte Lip Colour

British fashion house Burberry has added an all-new Matte Lip Colour to its Burberry Kisses lipstick line — a luminous matte with hyaluronic acid to ensure hydration and comfortable wear on the lips, and an intense colour payoff that promises to last the whole night. Packed with pigment, it only needs one stroke for high coverage. It’s available in 20 shades, including the luxury brand’s signature colours: Red, red-brown Russet, Soft Pink and Burgundy.

Gucci Beauty Rouge De Beauté Brillant

Gucci Beauty has added three vibrant new shades to its Rouge De Beauté Brillant hybrid balm-lipstick line — a burnt-orange Lucy Dark Orange, a dark-pink Diana Amber and an Abbie Maroon Red. Sitting between a sheer and satin finish, the deeply moisturising formula features a concoction of flower oils, fruit butters and hyaluronic acid to deliver hydration and a lip-plumping effect. It’s available now at all Gucci Beauty counters.

Benefit Brightening Face Primer

Benefit’s “that gal” Brightening Face Primer is now available in three shades, with two new colour-correcting options to help even out your complexion and create the perfect base for make-up application. With raspberry, chamomile and oat-kernel extracts, the silky lotion-like primer comes in a Silky Pink for a rosy glow, a Silky Lavender to brighten and cover sallowness, and a Silky Green to conceal redness.

And, while stocks last, here are a few of our holiday collection picks...

The holidays may be over, but there's no deadline on picking up a skincare kit or makeup duo. Grab them while stocks last.

Fenty Beauty Resting Peach Face

We loved everything in the holiday collection from Fenty Beauty — especially the brand new 12-pan Bomb Posse Mega Mix & Match Eyeshadow Palette — but our pick of the bunch is the limited-edition Resting Peach Face duo. Featuring two best-selling cream products in all-new set-exclusive peach shades — a full-size Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush and a mini Gloss Bomb Cream Color Drip Lip Cream — it’s perfect for a soft wash of peach colour to the cheeks and lips.

Hourglass Cosmetics Unlocked + Caution™ Mascara Duo

This limited-edition gift set from Hourglass Cosmetics features the brand’s bestselling mascaras — Unlocked Instant Extensions Mascara and Caution Extreme Lash Mascara — that deliver length and volume to your lashes with long-staying power and absolutely no flaking. Layer both for the most impact, using Caution to build volume and finishing with Unlocked to lengthen. As part of Hourglass’ cruelty-free mission, 5 percent of the annual profits from Unlocked Mascara will be donated to the Nonhuman Rights Project, a US organisation that works to secure fundamental rights for animals.

Drunk Elephant Kissy Face Skin Kit The Babyfacial Routine

Drunk Elephant’s holiday collection included four kits that promise to strengthen your skin’s barrier. Our eyes are on the Kissy Face “softening routine” set, featuring two full-size cult favourites — the TLC Sukari Babyfacial AHA/BHA skin resurfacing chemical exfoliant and the Lala Retro Whipped Cream moisturiser that rescues the skin’s acid mantle.

Charlotte Tilbury Cryo-recovery Facial Recovery Duo

Inspired by cryotherapy and the art of facial acupressure, Charlotte Tilbury has created a cooling eye serum and an intended-for freezing face mask that promises to visibly smoothen, depuff, lift and firm the skin. The range harnesses the power of Swiss Glacier-soil bacteria, ice wine and a potent caffeine complex.

Most of us know Wil Fang as the founder of Cookie DPT and Carbs. To his friends however, he's a bit of a hoarder. From sneakers and collectibles to a budding watch collection, the connoisseur of classic all-American fare tells us about his collecting habits, his quartet of Rolexes and what makes him tick.

Wil Fang will tell you he’s no watch collector – yet. He’s merely starting out, dipping his toes in. But step through the doors to his apartment that’s decked out in all sorts of collectibles – from Bearbricks to the Mr Moncler figurine created by artist Craig Costello and various Louis Vuitton x Supreme items – and you’ll see telling signs that he has the potential to become a very serious one.

That is, if his sneaker collection is anything to go by. Fang has a room lined with floor-to-ceiling shelving, dedicated to housing his 400-plus pairs of sneakers. At a glance, there are autographed Air Jordans, limited-edition Off-Whites, Fear of God, and more. His collection is still growing; he points to a couple of boxes stacked on a Supreme logo-ed folding chair – “I haven’t worn those yet,” he tells me.

Fang’s interest in sneakers grew from childhood – his first pair of Jordans was from his mother, when he was in third grade. He also has a single Jordan shoe, signed by the entire Chicago Bulls team, which he displays in a glass box.

“I even have a magazine signed by Dennis Rodman, Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan after they won 72-10,” says Fang, referring to 1995-1996, when the Chicago Bulls set the record for the most wins in an NBA regular season. “I’m a huge Jordan fan and I always wear Jordans. He was my idol growing up.”

But back to watch collecting: “I’ve had quite a few watches, but I’d say the first serious timepiece I own is this Rolex, which my wife gave me on our wedding day,” says Fang.

The watch in question is a Rolex Submariner, in steel with a black dial and bezel. “When my wife got it for me, it wasn’t crazy expensive,” he continues. “Five years ago it wasn’t even difficult to get, like it is today. Things have definitely changed.”

Rolex was the definitive watch of Hong Kong culture, the ultimate milestone watch that you’d get for a special occasion. “It’s almost like the standard entry-level watch here,” says Fang. “Everyone’s got some sort of Rolex, whether it’s a Sub or a Milgauss – for a lot of my friends here, it’s very normal for them to get a Submariner for graduation or when they land their first job.”

The watch Fang got for himself when he got his first pay cheque, however, wasn’t a Rolex. When he graduated with a double major in mechanical engineering and business management from Bucknell University in 2005, he joined Ralph Lauren and was quickly sucked into the company culture.

“We weren’t required to wear any particular uniform, but as a young professional, you see your bosses walking around in suits and nice watches, and you start becoming part of that culture,” Fang recalls. “And, you know, it’s aspirational.”

And soon enough, his interest was piqued. The first watch he bought for himself with his own salary was a TAG Heuer Link chronograph, which he still owns. “In Hong Kong, maybe it’s not a big deal, but back then, when you’re 22 years old in the States, it’s a pretty nice watch. It was a gift to myself.”

Later, as Ralph Lauren ventured into timepieces, Fang also invested in a dress watch. “It was unnecessarily quite expensive,” he says with a chuckle. “It was a Ralph Lauren watch and I probably should have put that money into something else, but it’s a prototype model. It’s definitely sentimental and I’ll never sell it or get rid of it. It’ll stay in my collection.”

Later, Fang’s work brought him to Hong Kong and, in 2016, he found himself in Taipei with a group of friends launching a fashion retail concept store called DPT. “It was one of those dream-come-true situations,” says Fang. “I’m half-Taiwanese and Hong Kong was home, so I was commuting weekly back and forth from Taipei for
two years.”

It was at DPT that Fang’s sneaker collection really flourished. “I’m a sneakerhead,” he says, enthusiastically. “I’ve had sneakers my whole life, but when you open your own shop and brands send you 50 pairs and you could have your first pick, it was like, ‘Oh my God, I’ve made it.’”

Owning the sneakers – and the watches – was only part of the thrill. A huge part of what makes the community so exciting was the hunt for a good bargain, the relationships you build with your authorised dealers, and the full experience of receiving the goods.

“The cool thing about collecting is like, once you have it, you have it, but there’s also a story of how you got them, whether they’re sneakers or watches,” says Fang. “I’ve seen my friends pick up their watches at a VIP house and it’s a great day, you know, everyone’s excited and they come with a bottle of champagne. It’s all part of the process.”

After his wedding Submariner opened the floodgates, Fang picked up a “Panda” Daytona with a black ceramic bezel, an Explorer and a vintage “Pepsi” GMT Master with a faded bezel, explaining that Rolex was an easy entry point to collecting for him. “I like things that are more modern, a bit more subtle and sleek,” he says. “White gold or steel and black. Something that’s very clean and not too flashy.”

“Collecting watches is definitely a more expensive hobby. It’s not like collecting suits or sneakers,” says Fang. “But what I like about it is the community. It’s much smaller, more intimate. I don’t even consider myself a watch collector at this point, but from an interest perspective, I really like the circle. They come from all places – from F&B, fashion, finance, entrepreneurs – you meet so many interesting people through collecting. And a lot of them are successful, so it also gives me the drive and the mentality to work hard in my own businesses too.”

That drive is serving him well. Unfazed by the pandemic, Fang and the DPT Group are launching a takeout pizza business called Carbs – “I’m playing the devil’s advocate,” says Fang.

“Covid isn’t such a happy time but seeing the success of a fast-moving takeout delivery business gives us the confidence that, even in the toughest times, Carbs will be OK.” And how could it not be? Comfort mac-and-cheese, authentic Chicago deep-dish pizzas, fried chicken, and hands-down the best spicy vodka fusilli I’ve tasted. Perhaps as Hong Kong’s appetite for Fang’s goods continues to grow, so will his watch collection.

Fashion week may be all about the clothes and accessories. But second to that are the makeup looks that will inspire beauty trends for the rest of the year. With New York Fashion Week coming to a close, we can now wrap up the best makeup and hair that shone on the runways. (Note: it’s also much easier to recreate a beauty look than it is to get your hands on runway pieces.)

Rodarte Vampire Brides

[gallery ids="191696,191694,191693"]

Rodarte channels Winona Ryder’s character in the Bram Stoker’s Dracula film of 1992 – dark matte lips in plum black with lip liners used to accentuate the cupid’s bow with precision. The face makeup was kept light with creamy porcelain complexion to contrast the deep lips.

Oscar de la Renta Neon Lips

[gallery ids="191702,191703"]

The beauty look on Oscar de la Renta’s runway can be summed up by vivid poppy lips. The fluorescent red/orange lips are bold and glossy. Makeup artist Tom Pecheux explains “I was trying to create a colour that – to my eyes – work on every girl and every skin tone. I also wanted something really powerful to fit everyone”.

Anna Sui Punk Rock Glam

[gallery ids="191709,191708,191707"]

Exaggerated metallic eye shadows ruled the Anna Sui runway with dramatic emeralds greens with dramatic lashes. For the lips, makeup artist Pat McGrath chose a deep eggplant to complete the look.

Proenza Schouler Au Naturel Beauty

[gallery ids="191715,191717,191716"]

Proenza Schouler stuck with the concept “less is more” when it came to this year’s NYFW beauty looks. The show was all about slicked back wavy wet hair and barefaced glass skin and natural groomed brows.

[dual-images right-image-url="https://www.prestigeonline.com/hk/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/884486006905Hardwear16.jpg" left-image-url="https://www.prestigeonline.com/hk/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/743877054218Guts10.jpg" right-caption="Redken Hardwear Sculpting Gel" left-caption="Redken Guts 10 Volume Spray Foam"]

Chromat Graphic Eyeliner

[gallery ids="191720,191721"]

As 2020 is the year of the Olympics, Chromat played on the theme using graphic bright neon winged eyeliner to mimic athletic sneaker stripes. To create the ultra bright look, two contrasting colours were used from corner to wing, then accentuated with a deep black wedge liner.

Clarins Plant Gold Nutri-revitalizing Oil-emulsion

[caption id="attachment_189397" align="alignnone" width="1090"] Clarins Plant Gold Nutri-revitalizing Oil-emulsion HK$580/35ml; Aroma Facial available for HK$920/60 minutes at Clarins, Central Building[/caption]

Clarins’ newest addition to its Aromaphytocare range (an extremely popular line with a focus on essential oils and plant extracts) is the Plant Gold – a 100% natural and original formula. The design of the bottle holds blue orchid treatment oil and natural origin emulsion separately, and only when pumped does it dispel together to create a dual-texture emulsion. The freshly blended formula delivers immediate nourishment and hydration to the skin and is surprisingly lightweight and non-greasy. For a more thorough penetration, Clarins also offers a Ayuroma Touch facial experience using Aromaphytocare products to revive your skin and all your senses.

Derm Institute Cellular Rejuvenating Neck & Decollete Serum

[caption id="attachment_189396" align="alignnone" width="3000"] Derm Institute Cellular Rejuvenating Neck & Decollete Serum HK$1,400/50ml[/caption]

Derm Institude’s Cellular Rejuvenating Neck and Decollete Serum is the answer to firmer and tighter appearance of the often overlooked neck area. The advanced peptide complex firms skin and smooths out lines and wrinkles while re-sculpting the delicate areas below the jaw bone. Rich yet non-sticky, the formula is best used with a massage tool (gua sha or roller) to contour and lift, creating a sensual Y line of the neck.

Dior Diorsnow Perfect Light Compact

[caption id="attachment_189395" align="alignnone" width="2251"] Dior Diorsnow Perfect Light Compact HK$550; Dior Diorsnow Perfect Light Compact Refill HK$415[/caption]

To add to the Diorsnow range, Dior’s beauty line dedicated to Asian skin, is the brand’s first moisture-lock brightening compact foundation. The highly corrective formula is a perfectly smooth and even veil for the skin. The extremely fine texture fuses with the skin without absorbing its natural hydration so skin stays moisturised, soft and supple. Ingredients include Edelweiss flower petals for luminosity, white micro-pearls to mattify unwanted shine and Diorsnow brightening complex to correct yellowness and imperfections.

EVE LOM Rescue Peel Pads

[caption id="attachment_189392" align="alignnone" width="1333"] EVE LOM Rescue Peel Pads HK$630/60pads[/caption]

Recently earning the reputation as “probably the best cleanser in the world”, EVE LOM has come up with a quick on-the-go cleanser for even lazy girls. The handy Rescue Peel Pads are soaked in a potent combo of AHA, PHA and BHA acids that effectively shed built up layers of dead skin cells to reveal a smoother and brighter complexion. Acting as a gentle exfoliator, the wipes promote cell turnover for younger looking skin. It’s also one of the very few wipes on the market that conditions the skin instead of stripping it of the skin’s natural oils – thanks to its Vitamin B3 to smooth, hydrate and calm the skin. The 100% biodegradable material is an added bonus for green beauty advocates.

Fenty Beauty What is Dew Makeup Refreshing Spray & Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer

[dual-images right-image-url="https://www.prestigeonline.com/hk/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/fenty-what-it-dew.jpg" left-image-url="https://www.prestigeonline.com/hk/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/fenty-gloss-bomb.jpg" right-caption="Fenty Beauty What it Dew Makeup Refreshing Spray HK$258" left-caption="Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer HK$165"]
Fenty has been hard at work with a lot of new releases recently (Flypencil eyeliner, Snap Shadows, Precision definition brushes and Full Frontal mascara), and there’s no sign of slowing down. This month Rihanna’s beauty line is dropping three brand-new shades of its coveted Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer, a conditioning non-sticky mega shine gloss and What it Dew makeup refreshing spray. A personal favourite of the entertainer, the hydration spray can be used before, during or after makeup application for a surge of instant hydration on the go.

[inline-quote author="Rihanna"]"This spray is my go-to when I need a quick pick-me-up. I can use it in so many different ways -- before makeup, after a long flight, or whenever I want to add a dewy finish to my makeup look. "[/inline-quote]

Gucci Rouge À Lévres Gothique Lipstick

[gallery ids="189483,189385,189386,189384"]

Lipsticks have been a big thing for Gucci this past year. Following right after its matte lipstick launch last month, comes the house’s metallic finish lip colours. The ultra pigmented shades are formulated using a carbon black pigment to create a deep undertone that is contrasted with a subtle metallic finish from its glimmering pearl extract. The collection of nine tones is inspired by iconic Hollywood movies and characters of the gilded era, so expect bold and eccentric shades best suited for special occasions and less for everyday use. To set it apart from Gucci’s existing expansive lipstick range, the Gothique collection is packaged with a black cap decorated with gold stars.

NARS Afterglow Collection

[gallery ids="189379,189380,189381"]

It’s not our first time to rave about NARS Afterglow tinted lip balms. And based off its huge popularity, NARS has launched six new sheer shades for a little natural luminosity, a limited edition 12-shade eyeshadow palette and cheek palette. Glow is the name of the game here, with supercharged shades of warm hues for the eyes, cheeks and lips. While the whole range is to die for, what stands out is the Overlust cheek palette – with three blushes and three gel-to-powder highlighters, the unique silky texture is easy to layer and blend.

RéVive Supérieur Body Nightly Renewal Serum & Firming Cream

[caption id="attachment_189371" align="alignnone" width="1280"] RéVive Supérior Body Nightly Renewal Serum HK$2,100/120ml; Supérior Body Renewal Firming Cream HK$1,900/192ml[/caption]

We're not sure we remember the simpler days -- before serums were a can’t-live-without part of your skincare regimen. And with that, it was only a matter of time before the essential step made its way into our body care routine too. RéVive has always been at the forefront when it comes to luxurious skincare with a high efficacy rate, and to our delight, now we can slather our bodies with their potent formulations. The newly launched Supérior Body Nightly Renewing Serum promises to firm and tighten the body bits that need a little lift. Using its signature bio-renewal and bio-firming ingredients found in its face skincare, the fast-absorbing body serum also improves the texture and smoothness. The serum is released with as Renewal Firming Cream to be used together for maximum results.

Most women will agree that the easiest and quickest way to pull together a polished look is with a pop colour. Even Elizabeth Taylor once said “put on some lipstick and pull yourself together”. There’s just something so transformative about the power of lipstick that works as an instant confidence boost. But with so many lipsticks out there on the market, which should make it into your makeup arsenal? We take five formulas to the test to review their staying power, hydration and finish; to aid you in your quest for the can’t-live-without lipstick. May the best bullet win.

shu uemura Rouge Unlimited

[dual-images right-image-url="https://www.prestigeonline.com/hk/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/shu-uemura_flaming-reds_rouge-unlimited-lacquer-shine_RD163_texture.jpg" left-image-url="https://www.prestigeonline.com/hk/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/shu-uemura_flaming-reds_rouge-unlimited-lacquer-shine_RD163_packshot_HK230.jpg" right-caption="Shu Uemura Flaming Red Rouge Unlimited Lacquer Shine in RD163" left-caption="Shu Uemura Flaming Red Rouge Unlimited Lacquer Shine in RD163"]

Wearability: This ultra-smooth formula almost glides on like gloss more than a traditional lipstick. It goes on better than it stays on, but that’s not too surprising given this texture.
Finish: Lacquer, wet-look
Hydration: 8.5/10 -- No cracked or flaky lips at all.
Highlight: The sultry, melty (in a hot way) effect makes lips look so kissable
Price: HK$230

Chanel Rouge Allure Liquid Powder

[dual-images right-image-url="https://www.prestigeonline.com/hk/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/3d24b6ba-5373-4deb-b386-490177f5df92.jpeg" left-image-url="https://www.prestigeonline.com/hk/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/fdfcc76b-eadd-499c-af0e-17a25943c292.jpeg" right-caption="Chanel Rouge Allure Liquid Powder Matte Lip in Avant Gardiste" left-caption="Chanel Rouge Allure Liquid Powder Matte Lip in Avant Gardiste"]

Wearability: The ultra-intense matte liquid lipstick is one of the best stains on the market. Acting as almost a semi-permanent tattoo, the colour really doesn’t budge. But because it is a creamy liquid, it takes a few layers to get that super solid colour to stay.
Finish: A powdery, blurry matte
Hydration: 8/10
Highlight: The seamless coverage helps to hide lip lines and wrinkles so lips appear super smooth
Price: HK$290

La Bouche Rouge Lipstick

[dual-images right-image-url="https://www.prestigeonline.com/hk/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Untitled-design-604.jpg" left-image-url="https://www.prestigeonline.com/hk/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Untitled-design-603.jpg" right-caption="La Bouche Rouge Lipstick in Burgundy LBR12" left-caption="La Bouche Rouge Lipstick in Burgundy LBR12"]

Wearability: The application of La Bouche Rouge requires ninja precision. The colour is so pigmented that it leaves no room for error and touch ups get messy. That being said, this lipstick won’t budge and will stay on for more than 6 hours.
Finish: Ultra matte
Hydration: 4/10-- It’s super matte finish will dry you out so prime before you apply.
Highlight: The interchangeable bullets are good for the environment and your lipstick wardrobe space. The leather lipstick case is made from premium vegan leather which is both chic and durable.
Price: HK$1,585 (includes a leather case and two lipstick refills)

Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick

[dual-images right-image-url="https://www.prestigeonline.com/hk/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Untitled-design-600.jpg" left-image-url="https://www.prestigeonline.com/hk/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Untitled-design-599.jpg" right-caption="Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution in Very Victoria" left-caption="Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution in Very Victoria"]

Wearability: This glides on relatively easily and packs an instant pigmentation punch. It’s long lasting and buildable. The colour and coverage is intense as it is, but for a more dramatic effect, an extra layer will do the trick.
Finish: Matte and velvety
Hydration: 6.5/10 -- For a matte lipstick, it does alright.
Highlight: The square angle tip allows for precision lip line and cupid’s bow definition.
Price: HK$270

NARS Afterglow Lip Balm
