The Beauty Team’s Most Recent Discoveries

There’s been a barrage of new foundation launches recently and I’m loving many of them, including Armani’s updated Luminous Silk formula. I buff it down to a very light coverage and it still lasts all day long. Speaking of staying power, Le Labo’s new Violette 30 scent gets top marks on that front. It’s a modern, cooler take on violet – not cloying or overly sweet, but fresh and green. When it comes to skincare, I’m a peptide addict but combined with niacinamide in this serum by Medik8, it’s even better, helping to reduce the appearance of pores and smooth texture. A surprise entry is a lip liner because I only started wearing it in the past few months, but Clinique’s Quickliner  in ‘Nude Honey’ is the perfect shade and texture for me: not too bold but creamy, blendable and still long-lasting.

From the Saltair Santal Bloom Body Wash to many other recent discoveries I won’t gatekeep anymore, these finds have slowly become mainstays in my beauty line-up over the last few weeks. Armani’s liquid blush was used on me by multiple make-up artists last year, so I had to snap up my own to recreate the look. Elsewhere, I’ve long been loving Salt & Stone – the body butters are so needed at this dry time of year. Finally, the Clarins Ever Bronze Compact Powder has been a saviour for warming up my skin and adding a subtle glow without overpowering my make-up.
