Hail autumn
Chic colours and state-of-the-art skincare dominate the season, writes Tama Lung
After the blistering heat of summer, autumn is always a welcome arrival. So too are the season's bold make-up collections and innovative skincare launches.
New eye treatment Génefique Yeux builds on Lancôme's extensive anti-ageing research with brightening ingredients and a hi-tech, pearl-shaped applicator.
Yves Saint Laurent's Le Teint Touche Éclat elevates the legendary highlighter to a gel-type foundation, and comes in 22 shades said to correspond to 7,000 skin tones.
On the new and noteworthy front, NARS Skin make-up enhancing skincare includes an Optimal Brightening Concentrate, its star product, with vitamin C and a Double Refining Exfoliator with citrus fruit acids and "botanical exfoliating spheres".
This season also sees the launch of natural beauty and health store 10/10 Hope inside the new Eslite Bookstore at Hysan Place. Featured brands include Neal's Yard, known for its award-winning Frankincense Hydrating Cream.
Chantecaille's new colour collection features a soft apricot cheek shade with an embossed baby elephant to raise funds and awareness for the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.
