7 Collections That Help You Show Up For The Glow Up
Sweater Weather
It’s time to swap out the breezy scents with autumnal aromas that suit your knitwear and leather boots. The final installment of Aēsop’s Othertopias collection, Ouraneon, EDP, 50ml, $265, is a herbaceous woody fragrance with a touch of spice and minerality. Intimate and soothing, white musk, mimosa and rice steam create a unique abstraction that portrays moments of inspired creativity in Diptyque L’Eau Papier, EDT, 50ml, $168. A new vegan perfume by Narciso Rordriguez, For Her Musc Nude, EDP, 50ml, $186, is a floriental chypre scent that caresses the skin with its signature heart of musk. Sink your teeth into the juicy Kayali Eden Sparkling Lychee, EDP, 50ml, $172; a flirty gourmand fragrance that will boost your mood.
Lip Logic
As we leave our minimalist grey world behind, colour is coming back with a vengeance. Serve a striking full coverage lip look in satin, matte or shine with Clinique Pop Longwear Lipstick, $54. For a true-matte nude that’s comfortable and cushioned, Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Velvet, $49, provides flattering hues for all skin tones. If the effortlessly undone Scandinavian lip look is more your style, Henné Luxury Lip Tint, $45, in Blissful of Intrigue is a great handbag staple.
Astral Allure
Making top news for the makeup obsessed is the launch of Pat McGrath’s Mothership XI Eyeshadow Palette in Sunlit Seduction, $231. Featuring 10 warm pink couture colours in matte, shimmer and duo chrome glitters, there will be no shortage of romantic looks that you can create. Paired with the iconic MatteTrance Lipstick, $63, and a swipe of the ethereal Lust: Gloss, $47, your sublime beauty will hypnotize passers-by.
Skin Solutions
As the days get shorter, now is the time to undo the damage the sun has wreaked on our skin this past summer. dermalogica Pro-Collagen Banking Serum, $180, visibly firms the cheek and jaw in 7 days by preserving the skin’s collagen for plumper skin. If pigmentation is your main concern, Aspect DR Complete Pigment PLUS Age Support, $179, includes tranexamic acid and phytoestrogens to inhibit the production of melanocytes. For the time poor, Aēsop B Triple C Facial Balancing Gel, $175, is a honey-like vitamin-rich gel with a matte finish that balances combination skin. Arguably the best moisturiser to use as a day cream under makeup, Tatcha The Dewy Skin Cream, $127, is rich and nourishing while sinking into the skin seamlessly.
Cinnamon Girl
To pay homage to 30 years of leading the clean beauty movement, Jane Iredale has launched the Ready to Bloom collection in earthy tones to suit the autumn aesthetic.
PurePressed Blush in Velvet Petal and Flourish, $70 each; PurePressed Eye Shadow Triple in Wildflower and Honeysuckle, $82 each; Just Kissed Lip and Cheek Stain in Forever Peach, $70.
Flawless Finish
Following the huge success of the Tik-Tok sensation Laura Mercier Real Flawless Foundation, $76, for its luminous skin-like finish and longwearing capabilities, the Concealer, $57, has been added to the line. A serum-infused with undetectable coverage, the new crease-proof formula brightens the skin while reducing the look of fine lines.
Clean Care
Continuing their promise to cut through the skincare clutter, Urban Jungle has launched a clean body care duo with ingredients that are usually reserved for facial skincare. The Grime Fighter Exfoliating Body Wash, $40, includes AHAs to eliminate dead skin cells and improve skin texture. Apricot seed oil, rich in vitamins A, C and E, alongside niacinamide, are the hero ingredients in Midas Touch Body Lotion, $42, for soft, hydrated and radiant skin.
