Glow On: 8 Need To Know Beauty Buys This Month

GLOW ON

We always rate Chanel’s Les Beiges collection for lending skin a natural-looking glow, no fuss (or sun) required. Dust on the Healthy Golden Glow Powder, and pair it with hot red Incandescente on nails. At counters nationwide.

SPECIAL K

There’s a wave of great Korean skincare around at the moment, with brands such as Erborian and Laneige delivering solid formulas at mid-range prices. The focus is, quite rightly, on ingredients rather than fancy packaging. Try Beauty of Joseon’s Glow Serum Propolis + Niacinamide (€17). At Boots online and selected stores.

SKIN WARMERS

Victoria Beckham’s new Bordeaux collection is the coolest make-up we’ve seen in a while – it champions burgundy for eyes. Both the mascara and liner work surprisingly well, enhancing your eye colour with a softer look than black. And Beckham’s new brushes are works of art. From €35; at Brown Thomas.

RETINOL READY

Image Skincare’s new Ageless+ range makes retinol easy for everyone – just start slow. The Overnight Retinol Masque, €120, for example, is designed to deliver results without the side effects, even if you have sensitive skin.

GREEN DAY

Ormonde Jayne’s Vetiveria eau de parfum, in a dazzling green bottle, is wonderfully earthy yet sparkling with Sicilian lime, sage and juniper berry. It’s an aromatic blend that’s both invigorating and complex and softens to a lasting warmth on your skin. From €45 for 10ml, at Parfumarija.
