Tatler’s Beauty Guide: Top skincare and makeup launches in May 2023

Two years after its launch, the Rose Hermès Collection is now expanding with three new shades of blush and a new-formula rosy lip enhancer with a glossy finish. The new Rose Confetti Rosy Lip Enhancer is super lightweight and offers a playful pink hue with hints of blue. The shape of the bullet is meant for a precise and generous application of the rosy lip enhancer, elevating the lips with its light pink colour and glossy finish.

The Rose Hermès Silky Blush is made up of a trio of delicate shades: 35 Rose Doré is a radiant and elegant coral pink elevated by golden reflections; 47 Rose Ambré is a silky, slightly beige pink with a pearly shell-like shimmer; and 58 Rose Cuivré is a powerful crimson pink elevated by dazzling hints of gold.
 
To the eye, Rose Hermès blush powder reminds one of the finely striated surface of silk twill but upon touch, one will realise how soft and silky it is. The original texture of the powder has been enriched with subtle mother-of-pearl that gives it a delicate, iridescent finish.
 

While it is true that having the few essentials such as cleansers, serums and masks were enough in our skincare routine, skin issues have become more common with frequent exposure to harmful UV rays, environmental stressors and free radicals. If you are struggling with dull, uneven, and blemished skin, Sigi Skin's new skin defender may soon be your bestie.

The Daylight Oasis Vitamin C Brightening Serum is aimed at achieving brighter, firmer and more radiant skin. The powerful and lightweight serum is especially interesting as it contains exosomes, which are commonly used in medical-grade skincare. Exosomes are a carrier effective at helping skin problems like acne, eczema, inflammation and many more. It also helps with skin rejuvenation and speeds up the skin's healing process.

To ensure you get the freshest of all the skin-loving ingredients, Daylight Oasis is packed in a UV protective pump packaging that also prevents oxidation.

Augustinus Bader has just introduced the newest addition to its serum collection: The Retinol Serum, an advanced formula that smooths, evens and visibly reduces the appearance of deep lines, wrinkles and blemishes while protecting against breakouts.

Working in synergy with its proprietary TFC8, or Trigger Factor Complex TFC, The Retinol Serum is an effective but gentle formulation allowing for users to experience benefits without the discomfort or redness typically associated with retinols. 

This new serum is lightweight, hydrating and formulated for all skin types and is also recommended for aging, oily and blemish-prone skin.

Great news for lip tint fans because there is a newcomer this month. Bobbi Brown has launched the all-new Extra Lip Tint that boasts instant moisture and extra benefits thanks to a reformulation. The lip tint is now infused with a boosted botanical blend, including Jojoba, Avocado and Olive Oils that nourishes and comforts the lips. This skincare-powered range includes nine different shades, each meant to flatter and enhance various skin tones. 

The new fragrance Idôle, by Lancome, is a fresh, floral scent perfect for day-to-night wear.

This feminine and elegant fragrance bursts with notes of citrus, rose, jasmine, and a trace of patchouli in the background and is layered over a white chypre base (made from an assembly of white musks).

Struggling with large, open pores? We hear you. This advanced serum by local beauty brand Ice's Secret features a formula that includes a powerful blend of oligopeptides that targets all causes of enlarged pores, working within the skin to give a smooth appearance. With an intensive pore-tightening serum without use of acids or harmful ingredients, this serum is perfect for all skin types, providing a comprehensive solution for pore concerns. It mainly targets enlarged pores caused by a variety of factors, including clogged pores, excess oil production, dehydration, and ageing. 

The serum helps to combat dehydration, a common skin problem, while restoring the skin moisture barrier; it also protects the skin against environmental stressors and prevents pre-mature skin ageing. Suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin.

Start your Gua Sha ritual with this well-loved Bali-inspired beauty brand Fields of Yarrow. This powerful pairing illuminates and firms the skin as it lifts and contours. Aim to achieve your most radiant skin yet with the award-winning Wild Rose Facial Oil, a lightweight and transformative facial oil powered by antioxidant-rich ingredients, illuminating plant root botanicals like Rose Geranium oil and Abyssinian Oil.

Pair this oil with the Tiger Eye 5 in 1 Glow Gua Sha Facial Lifting Tool to enhance results by aiding in product absorption while lifting and contouring the skin. For those who are unfamiliar with Gua Sha, head over to the beauty brand's Instagram page to watch videos of its founder offering detailed tips and demonstration in order for customers to do it right.
