Last updated: 16/07/2024
Nothing causes a buzz in the Cult Beauty office quite like a slew of new arrivals — and these make up newcomers are what we would call *chef’s kiss*. Just in time for sunnier (but still relatively cold) days, these new must-haves are here to dapple cheeks with high-impact colour, glaze lips with can’t-dew-without sheen and everything in-between.
Get ready to spruce up your make up bag — because trust us, you’ll want to make some space after this...
We can’t talk Charlotte Tilbury new in without also giving an honourable mention to the trending Charlotte Tilbury Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Foundation. Delivering a sheer yet buildable finish, it glides seamlessly across skin adapting to your tone and blending into your complexion effortlessly. Oh, and it get’s better… It’s bursting with plumping hyaluronic acid, nourishing daikon radish seed oil and antioxidant-rich vitamin E to shield against environmental aggressors. A new favourite hybrid? We, think so. You only need to read our glowing reviews when we tried and tested it for ourselves…
Did someone say more shades? That’s right — beauty bestseller The INKEY List Tripeptide Plumping Lip Balm is back with three new iterations. In a selection of head-turning hues (read: mocha, pink and berry), this handy hero not only hydrates but *deep breathe* repairs, plumps and soothes compromised skin to reveal fuller, more voluminous lips. How? It’s backed by a Tripeptide Complex , nourishing mango seed and shea butters, plus a plethora of plant-powered oils. So, get ready to pucker up and coat your pout in a sheen of colour coupled with a blend of skin-loving ingredients. We’re obsessed.
Who is Ben without Jerry? Serena without Blair? And more importantly, what would our base routine be without a trustworthy concealer? Enter: Danessa Myricks Skin Lift & Flex Concealer. Blurring the lines between skin care and make up, this multiuse must-have glides across any area you wish to place (from under eyes to blemishes) to deliver a medium to full coverage. Plus, calling on a blend of vitamin E, caffeine and squalane, it leaves skin looking smooth, protected and hydrated. Talk about a hot new arrival…
Love all things Laguna? What if we told you there was a new all-in-one compact inspired by the iconic bronzed shade? Yep, that’s right … It’s time to swipe, sculpt and shade your way to a sun-kissed glow with NAR’s Laguna Ultimate Face Palette. Raining pinch-me-pigment across your complexion, it features eyeshadows, bronzers *and* an illuminating highlighter to bring a taste of summer to your beauty routine. Simply choose from ‘Light/Medium’ or ‘Medium/Deep’ and prepare to welcome in an era of ray-rivalling warmth to your skin…
Keys? Check. I-D-? Check. A new on-the-go hero? Check! An everyday essential, your bag isn't complete without the Chantecaille Sunstone Lip Sheer. Arriving with three dew-delivering tints in pink and brown hues, this moisture-packed formula offers a coating of generous hydration, mirror-like shine and a sheer wash of colour. Word on the streets? Sheer lip is the in thing and it’s safe to say we’d never want to be out of the beauty loop. *Adds every shade to basket and waits impatiently for more*.
Last but certainly not least, we have the ultimate glow giver that’s pining for a spot in your beauty bag… Anastasia Beverly Hills' Beauty Balm Serum Boosted Skin Tint. Granting your complexion with a sheer-to-light dewy coverage, this stick glides effortlessly, feels weightless and blends seamlessly. Plus, it’s bursting with a blend of soothing jojoba seed oil, hydrating shea butter, and collagen to leave your skin feeling nourished, plumped and soft. Talk about the ultimate complexion companion…
PSSST, THERE’S MORE…
And there you have it! Now you’ve met our latest make up must-haves, it leaves us with one final question… Which ones are you adding to your basket first?
