The WOW factor

Time-saving from Shu

A primer, sunscreen and moisturiser in one? No, ladies, we're not pulling your leg - Shu Uemura has formulated a UV Under Base Mousse (HK$340) which provides light coverage, preps your skin for foundation (also helping makeup last longer) and protects skin from harmful UV rays. Available in three shades (BB Beige, Beige and Pink), the mousse is said to help conceal imperfections, and improve the overall condition of the skin by replenishing moisture and tightening pores. Available at all Shu Uemura counters.

Skin SOS

Like emergency service for your face as the dry winter approaches, Dermagram's new Hydro Pump (HK$120/120ml) is a moisturizer infused with anti-oxidants. Especially formulated with Asia in mind, where most people sit in air conditioning all day, the liquid promises to help skin retain moisture, prevent fine lines and improve the general condition of the skin. The spray bottle is small enough to keep in your purse or on your desk, and the clean scent is a perfect pick-me. Available at Dermagram counters.
