Byredo’s new eyeliner loves a bit of drama

They say never judge a bronzer by its cover, but the gold, aqua, art deco-inspired packaging on this new Gucci number is just a little too tempting not to. What’s inside is just as good: their new Limited Edition Poudre de Beauté Éclat Soleil Powder (bit of a mouthful, we know), will save you from looking cadaverous over these harsh winter months. It’s soft and silky, blends super easily and gives a subtle sun-kissed glow. Gucci even had some scientists on speed dial to give it a bonus touch – thanks to microsphere and biomimicry pigments, this very special bronzer will keep your skin hydrated, too.

We reckon most people wouldn’t mind looking like Plymouth influencer Jess Hunt. And thanks to her beauty brand Refy, over the last three years, we’ve been able to imitate her looks. Although Hunt’s usually all about nude colours and brushed up brows, her new, limited edition Refy Red Collection throws a bit of colour into the mix. On the menu: a lip sculptor, tinted lip gloss and compact mirror, all of which promise rosie cheeks and blood-red lips sans smudging for up to 12 hours. Smooch-proof, all-night bender-proof. What better way to prep for Christmas? No, it isn’t ​“too early”…

There can be 100 lip oils in a room and 99 of them will stick to your hair and last all of 30 seconds before requiring a top up. But all it takes is three to change your whole life. We’re paraphrasing Lady Gaga here, and celebrating her new Haus Labs Mini PHD Hybrid Lip Oil set. Now, we’re assuming these products don’t actually have a doctorate, but they are really good at plumping up your lips without needing a trip to the aesthetician, while keeping your pout well conditioned.

Get your grubby mitts around Byredo’s girthy Kajal Pencil and smudge it all over your peepers – ​‘tis the season of the dramatic cat-eye, after all.

Hyperpigmented and creamy, it’s the ultimate kohl to throw into your make-up bag, whether you’re going full Cleopatra or are just looking to enhance your natural lash-line.

Perfumer H is all about ​“making air visible” – but not literally, mind you – just through your nostrils.

Subtly dewy skin is nice and all, but if you really want to look like you’re glowing from the inside out, you need to sack the cream products and invest in a proper powder highlighter. Enter: Chanel’s new Illuminating Powder. Available in three shades – pearly white, precious coral and warm gold – its super-pigmented formula will make your skin so glowy that onlookers will need sunglasses. Well, not really. But it will make your skin the centrepiece of your make-up look.
