Ultimate Protector

“Shield, absorb and neutralise” is the mantra behind D Program’s Allerdefense Sunscreen range. Comprising Allerdefense Essence, BB and Cream, the product range has been upgraded with Allerdefense Technology NEO for enhanced environmental protection against urban pollutants. More than just a sunscreen, this advanced development also protects the skin from common aggressors such as pollen, dryness, grime and fine particles. This range is a match made in heaven for sensitive skin.

Available online at dprogram.sg/allerdefense.

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend

Featuring a delicate aesthetic with an easy-to-apply formula, Christian Louboutin’s Teint Fétiche Le Cushion foundation offers five shades of nudes: neutral, cool or warm adapted for light to medium skin tones. Its soft sponge cushion complements the light and fluid texture of the foundation, which is designed to erase imperfections. There’s also SPF 30 protection to shield your skin’s beauty from UV rays. Enriched with luminous oils and diamond powder, this product is for anyone wanting to give their skin the indulgence it deserves.

Natural Glow

Makeup and skincare come together with Burberry Beauty’s Matte Glow Cushion foundation. Expect a luminous matte makeup with a hydration concentrate for up to 12 hours of comfortable wear. This lightweight formula is enriched with two active ingredients: bamboo powder and silk-cotton tree flower extract. They can mattify the complexion for a staggering 10 hours, increasing hydration levels by 25 percent after six hours of application. Besides that, natural ingredients such as Rosa Damascena and Darjeeling tea leaf extract, known for their antioxidant and anti-pollution properties, are also part of the creation. Choose from six luminous matte shades, with refills in two shades (10 Fair Warm and 20 Fair Cool).

Good Girl,Bad Boy

Carolina Herrera’s Good Girl perfume, well-loved since 2016, is returning in the form of the enhanced Very Good Girl Glam. Featuring the same signature stiletto-shaped design, this version is intensified by sweet notes of vanilla. Sustainably sourced ingredients and new extraction processes result in a fragrance representing femininity in its gentle fearlessness. Plus, on the back of the popular Bad Boy and Bad Boy Le Parfum comes Carolina Herrera’s latest Bad Boy Cobalt, the masculine counterpart to Very Good Girl Glam. The striking blue pigment of cobalt signifies strength, and this new men’s fragrance oozes mineral sexiness and freshness, all in an iconic lightning-bolt perfume bottle.

Scents & Scandals

Penhaligon’s beckons us to uncover the scandalous secrets behind the closed doors of its majestic Mansion, a collection featuring eight of the brand’s best-selling Portraits fragrances, each representing a different character of an esteemed British family: there’s The Tragedy Of Lord George, The Revenge Of Lady Blanche, The Blazing Mister Sam, The Coveted Duchess Rose, Changing Constance, Terrible Teddy, Much Ado About The Duke and The Ingenue Cousin Flora. The eight scents cover a range of sweet-scented florals to leather and woody aromas.

What Are YOU Hiding?

Colour corrector and concealers are makeup products used to mask dark circles, age spots, large pores and other small blemishes visible on the skin. They’re very similar to  foundation but a little  thicker and used to cover different pigments by blending the imperfection into the surrounding skin.

If you’re anything like me, you’ll have some shape or form of dark undereye circles, whether it’s from late nights or just a genetic thing. The answer to this is Amplio Orange Corrector Bye-Bye Panda. Use a few dabs of this corrector and blend it in with your Wet Blender to camouflage dark bags or dark spots.

My  favourite concealers are  the new  range by Amplio (available in three shades),  as  you  can just pick areas you would like to  cover with  a few dabs of the product, and then  blend.  Blending is key to making the whole look natural and flawless.  I tend to use a few shades around the face gently to cover any imperfections and also add a little setting powder on top to stop it moving all day. Following this, I finish my full makeup look with a little 3-in-1 Amplio Cream blush (for eyes, lips and cheeks) and some Amplio Pure Noir Mascara. It’s as simple as that!

Hugs, Nmita
