Presenting The New-Season Beauty Collective

Maison Francis Kurkdjian believes that perfume is as important as clothing. Just like the new-season silhouettes, the brand’s 724 eau de parfum is a unisex fragrance intended to cause a stir. A heady blend of jasmine and white florals, this enveloping scent is beautifully warm and heady on the skin, leaving the most head-turning of trails.

Inspired by and symbolizing the Balmain woman, Balmain Paris Hair Couture gets our editors’ seal of approval. When it comes to great hair, we often forget that the most critical product is a conditioning mask. After all, it’s impossible to achieve a great style when you start with lackluster, dehydrated locks. It impacts the texture, color and responsiveness, which is why regular use of Couleurs Couture Mask should be non-negotiable.

Most bold lipsticks can feel drying on the lips (we suggest always moisturizing before applying) but this coral shade from Gucci Beauty is worth the hype – it’s comfortable, creamy and glides on so smoothly. What’s more, as the color’s translucent, you don’t have to worry as much about how it sits against your skin tone in the way you would with a more opaque lipstick. Just be mindful that a sheer texture is less long-lasting, so requires more reapplication.

Responsibly produced and directly sourced from the Amazon, the ultra-luxe Costa Brazil Kaya Anti-Aging Face Oil feels beautiful to use: it sinks in fast to leave skin supple and glowing, not greasy, so it can even be used under makeup. Apply at night and, come morning, skin invariably looks healthier and hydrated.

Crisp cucumber and fresh mint are not the most common pairings for a scented candle, but this refreshing blend by Loewe Home Scents works surprisingly well. Perhaps it’s because the scent reminds us of those last languid days of summer with a crisp cocktail in hand? The sage green vessel is particularly pleasing, so to avoid burn marks and discoloration, avoid blowing out the flame and dip the wick backwards into the molten wax to extinguish instead (taking care not to burn yourself). This will also help to avoid black smoke from billowing out and coats the wick ready to burn next time.

When it comes to a cream that truly nourishes the complexion, Dr. Barbara Sturm’s Super Anti-Ageing Face Cream is one that stands out – it’s just that: ‘super’. Infused with the brand’s hero ingredient, purslane – a plant rich in regenerative, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which work three-fold to prevent cell aging – it sinks in beautifully to leave skin velvety-soft and gives weary skin an incredible, dewy glow.

We all know the benefits of a hands-on massage for the skin – increased blood circulation, debloating and firming – but what happens when you can’t get an appointment with your favorite facialist? Cue Nurse Jamie’s Uplift Massage Beauty Roller, a hexagonal-shaped beauty wand that stimulates blood circulation to instantly revive, uplift and improve your overall tone. Not only is it easy and relaxing to use, this facial wand cools and calms the skin, aiding product absorption, blood flow and, therefore, glow.

Long-time fans of Augustinus Bader will not be disappointed with the latest addition to its bodycare range. Using a targeted formula on legs and arms really can make all the difference if you’ve neglected the body in your daily skincare regimen. Thanks to a concentrated cocktail of vitamins, amino acids and botanical oils, The Body Oil promises a lot and really does deliver – it’s fast-absorbing and rich but weightless, leaving the skin beautifully hydrated, improving skin tone and reducing the appearance of cellulite and stretch marks.

The quickest and most effective way to hack your way to a healthy-looking complexion is with a dab of joy-inducing blush. What we love about this super-fine powder blush from Vapour Beauty is that it comes with serious skin hydrators – amino acids and squalene – which means it sits beautifully on the skin all day without becoming patchy. Dust it in an oval shape in the middle of your cheekbones for a healthy flush. The rosy hue works particularly well on paler skin tones.
