Dior brings us a double take this month with the re-release of the Forever Cushion foundation and the new-generation Rouge Blush. The new foundation is encapsulated in a customisable portable case that is “more couture than ever”. It’s available in two finishes, no-transfer matte and hydrating glow. Meanwhile, Dior’s iconic healthy-glow blush arrives reinvented with 16 ultra-pigmented shades in four finishes.

Ditch the heavy foundation for Hourglass’ Veil Hydrating Skin Tint this summertime. A lightweight tint that instantly boosts the skin’s hydration levels by 52 percent, this new formula provides a sheer veil of coverage to diffuse imperfections and even skin tone. Key ingredients, most of which are naturally derived, include meadowfoam seed oil, hyaluronic acid, squalene and a rambutan blend.

Created in response to skin issues arising from Covid-19, Tatcha’s The Indigo Collection harnesses the soothing power of Japanese indigo, which contains tryptanthrin and indirubin, plant compounds proven to demonstrate skin-calming properties. The Indigo Cleansing Balm is a fragrance-free balm that gently cleanses and removes makeup, while improving skin barrier function.
