2018 was the year of change in the beauty industry. Following the launch of Fenty Beauty, and the impact its inclusiveness had on social media, there is no turning back. The brand recently announced its 50 shade range of concealers!
With a huge shift in the way brands now create, market and launch products, they can no longer launch only five foundation shades or rant on social media and get away with it. The world is changing, and now the beauty industry is slowly moving forward with it. So, what do we have in store for 2019? Here are some of the latest offerings.
Make Up Forever Ultra HD Self-Setting Concealer
Replacing the Ultra HD Concealer is the new HD Self-Setting Concealer that claims to have unique amino-acid-coated pigments that react to your skin, allowing it to stay put all day long, without creasing or needing to be set. With a wide range of 22 shades, MUFE have another potential hit on their hands. (₹1,960)
Chanel Baume Essentiel Multi-Use Glow Stick
With the latest make-up trend of glass skin, Chanel has created a multi-purpose balm stick that can be used on the lips, cheeks and eyes. This hydrating product is the answer to those editorial glossy eyelids and cheeks, without having to use actual gloss. The formula allows the user to create the pearlescent, reflective surface that glass skin is all about. (₹3,150)
Laura Mercier Flawless Lumiere Radiance Perfecting Foundation
This medium-to-full coverage foundation is meant to even out your skin tone while creating a natural radiance, leave your skin feeling smooth and soft because of the in-built moisture, while brightening the skin thanks to the Vitamin C in the formulation. With 30 shades, this sounds like the kind of product you just can’t go wrong with. (₹3,150)
Bobbi Brown Crushed Liquid Lip
Following the success of the Crushed Lip Color, Bobbi Brown is introducing the liquid version of the product for a bolder and fully pigmented pout. Much like the original, the texture is just as balm-like and the finish is glossy. The 14 shades range from subtle everyday nudes and pinks to vivid brights; it’s the perfect product for those who crave a glossy, opaque lip for every occasion. (₹1,820)
