The former has a foaming gel texture that leaves the skin feeling fresh, not tight, and with a matte finish.

Supergoop! CC Screen 100% Mineral CC Cream SPF50
We love ourselves a multi-tasking product and Supergoop!’s CC Screen happens to be one! Ideal for protecting the skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays from the sun and providing buildable coverage, this SPF 50 CC Cream is a dream for the lazy days. It features a 100% mineral sunscreen formula and comes in eight self-adjusting shades to adapt to a variety of skin tones. The texture is creamy and hydrating, and the buildable coverage helps to correct uneven skin tones while leaving a natural finish. Available at Sephora stores and sephora.my from 1st October onwards.
Marc Jacobs Perfect EDP
What does perfection mean to you? For Marc Jacobs, it’s about “embracing and expressing one’s true, authentic self”. Inspired by the namesake designer’s “Perfect” wrist tattoo, the new Eau de Parfum offers a bold juxtaposition of crisp floralcy and creaminess for the perfect balance of light florals and heavy aromas. The fragrance opens with top notes of daffodil and rhubarb – the former being a key ingredient that offers a slightly eccentric olfactory scent and the latter adding a sweet, fruity quality. At the heart is almond milk, which cocoons the fragrance in creamy vanilla to enhance the floral notes. It has a drydown of Cashmeran, giving it subtle musky, woody properties. Embodying this audacious fragrance as the face of the campaign is model Lila Moss, daughter of OG model Kate Moss. Available at Sephora and major departmental stores from 15th October 2020.
Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation Hydration and Longwear
A glowy complexion is all the rage right now. To achieve that radiance from within, Chanel’s latest foundation formula is made with Healthy Glow Booster pigments that lights up the skin and leaves a satin finish. It is also formulated with Kalanchoe extract, which forms a barrier on the skin’s surface to protect it against indoor and outdoor pollution. Humectant ingredients such as glycerol help to maintain the skin’s hydration, while silicate powder prolongs wear without leaving a sticky texture on the skin. It comes in 12 different shades with buildable coverage and longwearing radiance. Available at Chanel boutiques now.
Dior Couleur Color Games Collection Limited Edition Palette
Dior has launched two limited edition eye shadow palettes to add a splash of colour to your lids. As the name “Color Games” suggests, these limited-edition versions of the iconic 5 Couleurs feature a mix of vibrant colours and soft hues to create fun, playful eye looks. From strikingly cool blues to warm brown and orange shades, the highly pigmented shades can be combined to create a smoky effect or to make a bold monochrome statement. Available at Dior boutiques now.
Pat McGrath Labs Divine Rose Collection
You asked for new makeup that “wows” at first sight? Mother has answered. The new Divine Rose collection is set to earn a cult-following with the iconic MOTHERSHIP VII: DIVINE ROSE Eye Palette and its equally stunning sequel, the limited-edition MOTHERSHIP VIII: DIVINE ROSE II Eye Palette. Both palettes feature 10 highly-pigmented, multi-dimensional shades that are runway-worthy (as seen at Versace, Prada and Valentino shows) – including exquisite roses, poetic peaches, vibrant golds and hypnotic bronzes. Complementing the lush, petal hues of the palettes are two MatteTrance lipsticks, two Lust: Gloss lip glosses and two Permagel Ultra Lip Pencils. Available at Sephora stores and sephora.my
Kristin Ess Fragrance Free Dry Shampoo
For those of you with sensitive scalps or can’t stand fragrance, Kristin Ess has just unveiled a fragrance-free collection of haircare. We’re eyeing the dry shampoo in particular for the greasy hair days to help absorb excess oils, replenish volume and extend the cycle of our styling between washes. Made with a lightweight formula that blends easily in the form of non-aerosol loose powder, it’s safe to use for all hair types, including colour-treated locks. Available from 10th October onwards at Sephora and sephora.my.
