6 of the best new-season beauty buys

This is the palette of dreams: makeup maestro Pat McGrath’s 10 delectable colors come in both shimmer and matte textures, with a mixture of warm, neutral and cool shades, giving you the option to play down your eyeshadow for the office or go full-on glam for the dance floor, as McGrath did at the Anna Sui FW18 show.

There is face oil, and then there is this: a 24-karat gold-infused, 100% organic face oil. Created by Israel-based esthetician Mimi Luzon (who is responsible for the Victoria’s Secret Angels’ fashion-show-glow), it completely transforms dull and dry skin. While the vitamin C brightens, the readily-absorbed gold particles will give you that lit-from-within glow.

It may look like a lipstick but this is actually more of a gloss: the solid ‘stick’ formula glides on seamlessly, giving you the rich, velvety pigment of a lipstick but with a high-shine, non-sticky finish. What we love is the tapered tip for a really precise application. This shimmering nude shade ‘Sugar Sugar’ mirrors the brand’s best-selling Lip Lacquer, but there are also seven other shades, from pink and plum to dark red, to choose from.

This nifty gadget is as good as a facial. The tiny device combines pulse technology (10,000 per minute) with the power of LED light treatments, thermotherapy and even cryotherapy. After you slip a sheet mask for day or night into the device, a round of red, blue and green LED lights brighten skin, stimulate collagen production and kill bacteria. Then, it heats up to 20-50 degrees to encourage the skin to absorb the active ingredients in the face mask before switching to cryotherapy to depuff and firm.

Great hair starts with a healthy scalp, and being exposed to damaging UV rays or pollution can irritate it as much as the rest of our skin. If yours is feeling dry, flaky or itchy, this jelly conditioner not only cools and soothes irritated skin with its blend of mints and tea tree, but the charcoal acts as a purifier to absorb product build-up at the roots, while hydrating the lengths. Plus, it uses all natural ingredients, so your scalp won’t be exposed to any harmful ingredients.

This is a creamy highlight and medium-coverage foundation fused into one single, purse-sized stick. The highlighting shade complements the foundation tone – switch between the two halves of the stick to apply and blend as required. It comes in ten shades; just swipe on and buff in.
