We’re approaching the final half of the year. Traditionally in the beauty calendar, August marks the arrival of autumn – which cues heavier and muskier perfumes, darker shades, deeper reds, browns, and blacks for both hair colours and makeup.
Likewise, in the skincare department, you’ll often find heavier products such as cream moisturisers, face oils, lip butters, body creams and so on.
Below are some of August’s autumn skincare and makeup launches you’ll find in Singapore.
Launched on Aug 1 was Guerlain’s newly reformulated Abeille Royale Advanced Youth Watery Oil ($216).
First introduced in 2013, the Guerlain Watery Oil stood out for its unique lightweight and water-like texture. This year’s reformulation bumps the formula’s naturally-derived ingredients up to a whopping 95 per cent. Sounds like a huge change? Well, aside from the addition of more natural ingredients, the brand promises that it has retained the beloved lightweight texture alongside its Commiphora oil micro-beads (which melts upon as you massage the oil into your skin).
Next up on Aug 5, Drunk Elephant launched its latest O-Bloos Rosi Drops ($50) blush over at Sephora.
According to the brand, this liquid blush comes in a universal shade the suits all skin tones. Its formula is lightweight and watercolour-like, so you can layer and build to increase the intensity of the rosiness you want for your cheeks.
Finally, this liquid blush comes with skincare ingredients, namely omegas and powerful antioxidants in the likes of white tea, grapeseed, and cocoa extracts.
