This month, we’re shining the spotlight on the coolest new palettes, a pamper formula for your eyes and all the brands creating foundation that’s just right for your skin.
BETTER THAN DESSERT
NYX’s Love You So Mochi collection has taken the much-loved Japanese rice cake’s pillowy, bouncy texture as inspiration for their shiny highlighter and bright eyeshadow palettes that look delicious enough to eat. The shade spectrum extends from metallic nudes to darker teals to bolder hues like sky blue and dandelion yellow. Buy: NYX Love You So Mochi Eyeshadow Palette in Electric Pastels
TIE ME UP
Scrunchies—they snag but also secure strands, you’ll find them in our bag, bedside and bathroom, and they are always MIA when you need them. But life without them is pretty much inconceivable. With Dame Essentials, the good old scrunchie gets a well-deserved facelift. Revamped in pure mulberry silk to keep snags and dents away, they come in six shades—from a light champagne to jet black. The silk is super gentle on hair and won’t tangle up your strands. Trust us, you wouldn’t want to lose these! Dame Essentials Gold Collection Pure Silk Scrunchies (set of 3)
HUE FOR YOUR MOOD
Nykaa just dropped three eye-popping palettes from Huda Beauty, each with nine shades and endless eye makeup possibilities. Choose from an electric spectrum that includes brights like purple and pink; a smoky mix of matte and metallic; and an all-brown palette for the nude-obsessed.

FOLLOW THE SUN
No other makeup collection makes us long for a summer vacation more than Guerlain Terracotta. While the original remains the gold standard in bronzers, the newer rendition captures the spirit of the sun in a palette. Also joining the summer camp are a hydrating gloss-balm hybrid and a lightweight pigmented gel-cream—all painted in pretty sunset hues for radiance that’s only possible when you’ve basked under the glorious sun.

EYE OPENER
Estée Lauder’s cult Advanced Night Repair family welcomes a new member this month. The creamy gel formula wards off skin damage around the eyes that’s caused when you skimp on sleep, squint in the sunlight and stare at your screens incessantly. Dot it around your eyes every night and let the ingredients get to work—hyaluronic acid nourishes, yeast extract fights darkness, algae extracts soothe, and antioxidants join in to defend UV rays and pollution. My favourite way to use it is as a make-shift mask—once a week I dab it on generously and leave it overnight so I can wake up to bright eyes!

ON OUR LUST LIST
A picture is worth a thousand words, so we’ll just let this one speak for itself. PS Smashbox’s Petal Metal Collection, comprising everything from liquid highlighters to metallic lips, is dipped in decadent rose and looks like one hell of a gilt-y pleasure we can’t wait to dig in.

FORTY SHADES OF NUDE
Goodbye, light, medium, dark. Hello, forty shades of skin. Today, foundations no longer come in colours that are a tad too light or bit too dark for your complexion. Instead, the focus has shifted to finding an ideal match. We love that beauty brands are embracing diversity and disrupting industry norms by inventing shades that aren’t just high on number but actually work for varied skin tones. Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty broke boundaries with her inclusivity-driven foundation collection; Huda Kattan swatched 30 shades of her foundation on real faces to show the real deal; and now, these new collections are giving beauty brands more reasons to join the movement.
For her own beauty line, Flesh Beauty, former editor-in-chief of Allure, Linda Wells, worked to ensure her dewy-finish Firm Flesh Thickstick Foundation sticks suited every skin colour possible—from the palest to the darkest—and came up with 40 colours. They even ended up getting a different formula for darker shades to get a seamless match. Buy: Flesh Beauty Firm Flesh Stick Foundation
Cover FX’s 40-shade Power Play foundation has a ‘TrendMood’ to help customers pick their shade without confusion. Each shade is carefully created to suit skin tones and undertones, and the ‘modern matte’ formula is specially created for oily skin types who want a soft-focus luminosity without excess shine.

Apparently worn by the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, on her wedding day, Dior’s Face and Body Foundations are made to embrace and enhance gorgeous, natural skin. Creative director Peter Philips wanted to make ready-to-wear colours and came up with 40 shades that also have six undertones. We hear there are more shades in the making.
