This Week In Beauty: YSL's Glow-Pact Cushion, Rosy Red Makeup From Dior & More
The 4-1-1 in the beauty world right now.
By Yasmine Loh,
The beauty world is doing double duty with new launches and innovative formulas for better and bolder makeup. YSL Beauty is launching two new products, including a new glow-pact cushion that combines full coverage with glowing skin.
Meanwhile, there are plenty of lip products and lightweight cushion foundations from Armani Beauty, and skin serums from Skin Inc to achieve a luminous no-makeup look. Or opt to go bright with Dior Beauty's red-inspired makeup line for the Fall/Winter season, or soft and natural with velvety lip tints from The Face Shop.
More info ahead.
It's all about that effortless dewy complexion nowadays, and YSL Beauty has formulated new products for that perfect naturally flawless look. To give your skin that healthy glow, the YSL Touche Eclat Glow-Pact Cushion ($110) delivers a full coverage makeup look with a luminescent finish, available in four shades with neutral-undertones suitable for Asian skintones. And you don't have to worry about uneven blending, since the Glow-Pact Cushion is the first ever compact foundation to utilise mesh technology – a silky-thin fabric on its cushion applicator that helps even out foundation.
The Glow-Pact Cushion is now available islandwide at YSL Beauty stores and counters and online
For Fall 2022, Dior Beauty is releasing new eyeshadows, lipsticks and nail polish celebrating the colour red. Mirror Mirror ($113) and Reflexion ($113) are two new limited-edition compact eyeshadow palettes featuring shades of red. Mirror Mirror – like its name suggests – focuses on a pearlescent finish, with colours of orange, golden yellow and a matte brown, while Relfexion gives the eyes pops of colour with burgundy red and rosewood-coloured eyeshadow. And, ditch the blue mascara trend for Dior's daring red-coloured Diorshow Iconic Overcurl mascara ($57).
Of course, the new makeup range includes the Rouge Dior lipstick line ($58) because you can never go wrong with a bold red lip. Three new shades include coral in shade Dusty Coral, a warm-toned nude-pink in shade Rosewoodrose, and striking red in shade Redred. Rosewoodrose and Redred are also available in nail polish shades, as part of the Dior Vernis nail polish line ($43).
All products are available at at all Dior Beauty Boutiques and counters and on the Dior Beauty Online Boutique

The My Armani To Go Plisse ($135) gets a new compact case design in chevron detailing, inspired by Giorgio Armani accessory designs. The new case, which is the brand's fourth case design for the foundation, holds Armani Beauty's hydrating and buildable cushion foundation you can reapply at anytime of the day.
