Join us as we unveil Lifestyle Asia Kuala Lumpur’s 2024 Beauty Awards, celebrating the multifaceted nature of authentic beauty. This year, we’ve curated brands and products that reflect your truest expression of self—whether that’s through simple, clear skin radiating health or bold, editorial makeup looks that push the boundaries of artistry and technique. Our nominees feature a bit of everything to help you define beauty on your own terms, without compromising on quality. From long-wearing, breathable foundations that stand up to sweat and sun to cutting-edge hair tools that transform frizz in under thirty minutes, you’ll find it all here and more.

    Sun Spectrum+

    The hallmark of a good sunscreen is all-round protection with no white cast and Avenys Sun Spectrum+ delivers. With 7 Photostable Filters, its hybrid formula provides UV protection without harmful chemicals. Beyond guarding against UVA, UVB, HEV, and IR rays, plus blue light from screens, it also helps prevent sunburn, premature aging, and skin cancer.

    Judge's Notes:

    Izzati Saadin, Senior Digital Editor: “If there’s one step you should never skip in your skincare routine, it’s sunscreen. The Avenys Sun Spectrum+ absorbs beautifully, feels lightweight, and the best part? It offers 10-hour protection, so less need for re-application.”
