Foundation

YSL BEAUTÉ
All Hours Foundation

Created for endless days and wild nights, and the freedom of living 24/7, this weightless, ultra-thin formula delivers a natural, luminous matte finish while leaving skin feeling as if it’s naked. Using cutting-edge technology and an extensive Global Beauty study, the foundation also comes in an inclusive, multicultural shade range specifically designed for Asian skin tones.

Primer

LAURA MERCIER
Pure Canvas Primer Hydrating

This hydrating version of the popular Pure Canvas Primer is great for all skin types, but especially dehydrated or mature skin. The paraben-free, silicone-free formula seals in skincare and creates a protective barrier that extends make-up wear. It’s also packed with skin-loving ingredients like squalane to not only protect but also nourish and replenish the skin.

Concealer

HOURGLASS COSMETICS
Vanish Airbrush Concealer

Otherwise known as the “virtual skin perfector”, this weightless liquid concealer instantly delivers full, undetectable coverage with an airbrushed finish. Not only is the formula crease- and waterproof, but it also contains microspherical powders that fill in lines and provide a smooth, even application. And it comes in 12 creamy, long-wearing shades.

Powder

NARS
Soft Matte Advanced Perfecting Powder

Offering a full 24 hours of natural-looking, soft-matte coverage, this innovative, talc-free powder blurs imperfections without the dry, cakey feel. Skin-smoothing niacinamide immediately controls shine and minimises the appearance of pores and skin texture in just four weeks, while the Adaptive Oil-Control Technology targets the look of excess sebum.

Eyeliner

MAKE UP FOREVER
Aqua Resist Graphic Pen

Set it and forget it – this waterproof, sweat-proof, smudge-proof and humidity-proof eyeliner promises 24-hour wear in a formula that never dries. The innovative cartridge system combined with a flexible and supple smart tip delivers the perfect amount of satin finish ink, making application effortless whether you’re creating simple lines or bold, artistic strokes.

Brow

SHU UEMURA
Brow: Sword Naginata Eyebrow Pencil

Easy to apply thanks to its beautiful smooth texture, this unique preshaped eyebrow pencil allows control for real or natural hair-like precision and creation of different payoffs. It’s also waterproof, sweat-resistant, smudge-resistant and sebum-resistant – allowing for 16 hours of lasting wear – and comes in six shades “to serve ever-changing Asian hair colours”.

Eyeshadow

HUDA BEAUTY
Matte Obsessions

The first-ever fully matte eyeshadow palette from make-up mogul Huda Kattan offers nine highly pigmented and timeless shades in ultra-matte finishes and a buildable cream-to-powder formula. The Warm palette features toasty terracottas, rusty oranges, pretty peaches and rich browns while the Cool version has icy mauves, dreamy pinks, pastel purples and frosty browns.

Mascara

SERGE LUTENS
Mascara Volume

One of three mascaras from the iconic Shiseido-owned make-up and fragrance brand, Mascara Volume stands apart for its unique lash-by-lash applicator that extends, refines and shapes for beautiful, long-lasting volume and the ultimate eye-opening effect. The waterproof formula comes in two shades – deep black brown and deep black – to suit any occasion.

Blush

NARS
Blush Orgasm

The blush to end all blushes, this cult-favorite, bestselling product delivers a weightless, natural-looking rush of peachypink colour in matte, satin and shimmering finishes. Superfine, micronised powder pigments provide an easy, blendable application while the buildable pigment allows control of colour intensity for subtle to bold effects on every skin tone.

Lipstick

BYREDO
Liquid Lipstick Vinyl

Inspired by the idea of stripped-back simplicity and elegance, Lucia Pica’s first formulation for Byredo Makeup seeks to meld make-up with the body. The fluid yet creamy vegan formulation is offered in a neutral palette of long-lasting, high-pigmentation flesh tones. Application is easy and precise with a sharp, lightly flocked wand that delivers colour and radiance to the lips.

Lip Balm

CHANEL
Rouge Coco Baume

Combining colour and care, this easy-to-apply balm comes in six shades from fresh pink to deep burgundy as well as a transparent, pearlescent white that intensifies the natural radiance of the lip. Its silky formula is enriched with moisturising shea butter and three plant waxes to provide hydration for up to eight hours and reduce feelings of dryness for up to 12 hours.

Make-up Remover

SHU UEMURA
Botanic Oil Indulging Plant-Based Cleansing Oil

Much more than your average make-up remover, this 99% biodegradable, plant-based face cleanser promises to leave your skin and mind deeply calm and balanced. More than 100 key ingredients and emulsifiers quickly yet gently remove all make-up while an aromatic blend of essential oils and Japanese citrus extracts provide a soothing and healing sensation.
