The Beauty Radar: January

The appeal of a true beauty icon never wanes and Chanel’s Rouge Noir is just one example. More than 30 years since the classic moody burgundy nail shade sparked sky-high waitlists and had women queueing round the block, it remains as refined and relevant as ever. Today, it’s recently been translated into a limited-edition collection by the brand’s global make-up creative partner Ammy Drammeh. Spanning everything from glowy powders and elegant brush sets to velvety lipsticks, the edit pays homage to the classic not-quite-red-not-quite-black shade while bringing in vibrant magentas, dusky pinks and soft mauves. The standout? Try the Noir Allure Mascara as a more unexpected alternative to black.

Evoking crisp alpine air and celebratory après spirit, Tom Ford’s much-loved Soleil Neige is now joining the Signature collection. Invigorating citrus notes cut through first, before melting away into a cream, cosseting floral blanket. Grounded with musk, it has that powdery, clean ‘just-stepped-out-of-the-shower’ quality, without feeling sleepy. Clean, soapy and quietly addictive, it’s the perfect cold-weather fragrance for anyone who wants something mellow and luminous.

Rare Beauty’s latest bodycare additions are basically out-of-office energy bottled. Landing within the brand’s Find Comfort range, the Feel Seen scent is inspired by coastal ease – think bracing ocean air, honeydew melon and creamy white florals. Our favourite is the frothy, hydrating mousse which transforms into a featherlight oil, leaving limbs supple and sheeny. Pair it with the complementing Body & Hair Fragrance Mist as a lighter, low-stakes alternative to traditional fragrance. A dreamy duo to stash in your suitcase or use at home when you need a little escape.
