The World’s 10 Bestselling Beauty Products, According To NET-A-PORTER
From the world’s most-used serum (hyaluronic, of course) and best-loved moisturizer (an A-list favorite) to the lipstick color that’s worn universally (no, it’s not red), these are NET-A-PORTER’s global beauty bestsellers. By NEWBY HANDS
The superstar serum: Dr. Barbara Sturm Hyaluronic Serum
As the bestselling and most-talked-about serum, this little gem from Dr. Barbara Sturm works double duty to do more than just hydrate. Containing high- and low-weighted hyaluronic acid molecules (to target different layers of the skin), and anti-inflammatory purslane (parsley), it ensures a calm, healthy and well-functioning complexion. Plus, while some HA-based products can be sticky, this sinks right in, leaving skin looking beautifully plump and dewy.
The most-wanted device: Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro
My most-asked beauty question is, “Does LED work?” My answer is yes – and, as one of the first home-use devices, this FDA-cleared and derm-backed mask from Dr. DennisGross Skincare is excellent. Use it daily and you will see a real difference in the quality of your skin – I certainly did. Plus, for breakouts, the blue LED can be a game-changer. There’s also a new supercharged version of the brand’s original targeted LED eye mask that will work on crow’s feet and puffiness even more precisely, as well as a dedicated lip mask to plump and smooth the skin on and around the delicate lip area, too.
The scented candle everybody loves: Diptyque Baies
A candle may be the perfect gift, but if you can’t decide which scent to go for, this distinctive blend of blackcurrant and rose is a fail-safe choice. Whether it comes in the form of a scented candle, diffuser, scented oval or room spray, Baies is a bestselling, universally loved scent that packs a beautifully fragranced punch.
The world’s leading lipstick shades: Charlotte Tilbury Kissing Lipstick in Icon Baby and Hourglass Unlocked Satin Crème Lipstick in Lotus
We may be searching for the perfect red or most-wearable nudes, but global sales figures show that women the world over still love pink. And that goes for lipstick, too: Charlotte Tilbury’s Kissing Lipstick in Icon Baby and Hourglass’s Unlocked Satin Crème Lipstick in Lotus have proved bestselling shades. Not to be outdone, lip gloss, lip oil and lip liner are also hot property, as well as pink makeup products in general. In fact, Westman Atelier’s Baby Cheeks Blush Stick in Chouchette is now one of the world’s favorite blushes, and pink eyeshadow runs second only to neutral tones.
The most-loved moisturizer: Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream
As famous as many of the celebrity faces it’s used on, this ultra-luxe skin treat multitasks to hydrate, repair, reduce hyperpigmentation and strengthen the vital skin barrier, among many other things. Using the TFC8 regenerative technology created by biomedical scientist Professor Augustinus Bader, it’s the perfect blend of high science and pure luxury in a moisturizer.
The favored fragrances: Le Labo Eau de Parfum Santal 33 and Frédéric Malle Carnal Flower Eau de Parfum
Perfume may be a deeply personal choice, but these are the two clear – if very different – winners. Le Labo’s Santal 33 evokes the wildness of the American West, thanks to its enveloping aromatic blend of smoky sandalwood and cedarwood with powdery iris. At the opposite end of the spectrum, Frédéric Malle’s Carnal Flower has a heavy helping of tuberose absolute that is layered beautifully with jasmine, coconut and orange blossom for a decidedly sophisticated and sexy scent – and is a celebrity favorite.
The face mask everybody wants: 111Skin Y Theorem Bio Cellulose Facial Mask
As the brand that made the sheet mask an Instagram star and a celebrity favorite for any red-carpet prep, 111Skin does one of the most popular masks in the beauty world. Made from the same second-skin material used in burns units, this sheet molds to the curves of your face, ensuring that the calming and repairing serum contained within can be properly absorbed.
The best-loved bases: Westman Atelier Vital Complexion Drops and Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter
The search for the perfect second-skin coverage could be over – and, depending on how sheer you like your finish to be, these products from Westman Atelier and Charlotte Tilbury are two of the world’s most coveted. Blending skincare with cover, the beauty of both is that they leave your complexion looking natural, fresh and glowing rather than ‘made up’.
The must-have mascara: Westman Atelier Eye Want You
Where Westman Atelier’s first mascara formula, Eye Love You (made with an impressive 95% natural ingredients), delivers thicker, fuller lashes, makeup artist Gucci Westman’s newest formula, Eye Want You, lengthens and defines with a special hourglass-shaped brush, and comes packed with natural ingredients, too. Even better, you can really layer on this mascara if you want an amplified look for evening that delivers a visibly defined fluttery fringe, without worrying about flaking, smudging or clumping.
