Top 5 Editors' Picks Beauty Favorites

- by Brenda Chan -



The arrival of spring brings the most welcoming changes. Your skin becomes moist and radiant again, brighter shades of color are seen on makeup looks, and tense, tired muscle from the cold seems to uncoil. In other words, it’s a great time to rethink your beauty routine! If you are looking for the best beauty products on the market? Look no further: our editors have chosen the top picks from skincare and makeup and offer them with amazing discounts!



Breathtakingly Crystal Clear Skin 




Having bright, clear skin is the dream of every woman. SK-II's signature product, Facial Treatment Essence, can help you do just that. This much-loved and most awarded bestseller, also known as the Miracle Water, has over 90% Pitera™. This miracle ingredient discovered over 30 years ago that remains essentially unchanged till today. Its irreplaceable formula gently exfoliates the face and helps moderate the skin surface renewal cycle. It helps improve the appearance of 5 dimensions of beautiful, crystal clear skin in just 14 days: spots are less visible, appearance of wrinkles is reduced, skin texture is more refined, firmness is improved, and radiance is beautifully elevated. 


Visibly Firmer, More Lifted Contour




A lifted, firm contour is also a sign of youthfulness and beauty. Try Fresh Black Tea Firming Overnight Mask. This intensely moisturizing treatment works in synch with the natural nighttime recovery process to achieve a lifted, firmer look by morning. It has a corset-like effect on the skin, giving the appearance of a visibly more defined, contoured complexion. Infused with a proprietary complex of black tea ferment, black tea extract, blackberry leaf extract, and lychee seed extract, this mask inhibits damaging free radicals and helps improve skin elasticity.


Create A Perfect Canvas for Makeup 




The crucial step to creating a flawless foundation is to prime your skin because it helps increases the moisture level and corrects your skin tone. You will not be disappointed with Laura Mercier Foundation Primer. This colorless, lightweight creamy gel creates an invisible layer that acts as a buffer to outside elements. Enriched with anti-oxidizing Vitamin A, C, and E, it protects the skin from harmful, aging effects of the environment. What’s best about this primer is that it leaves your makeup looking fresh and colour-true the entire day. It can also used as a cooling gel by putting in into the fridge to refresh skin and reduce puffiness. 



Innovative Compact to Cover Flaws & Blemishes 




No one would object concealer is one of the most important makeup items in your makeup bag. It covers your dark circles, conceals your blemishes, evens your skin tone, and viola, your skin looks flawless in an instant! IPSA Creative Concealer EX SPF 25 / PA+++ is a 3-color concealer compact that allows uneven skin tone areas to “assimilate” themselves with the surrounding skin tone, through IPSA’s original orange-red color tone design, which “redness” has been added. Infused with a “Lighting Formula for Uneven Color Spots”, it increases the light reflection on skin surface. With all the innovative features, it’s THE concealer that you must have! 




Spring is the season of hope and new beginnings. Give you beauty routine a boost with these must-try skincare and makeup items!

Autumn’s beauty trends – dewy skin

When it comes to autumn 2016, the looks and trends are bold and very beautiful! One of the trends that never goes out of style is dewy, radiant skin. To achieve this most beautiful of looks, you can use a skin highlighter on the tops of your cheekbones and the cupids bow of your lips. Try Laura Mercier Matte Radiance Baked Powder in Highlight-01 shade, for brightening, highlighting and perfecting your facial features. It combines with an ultra-smooth baked formula that provides natural color with soft radiance to the skin for a healthy, “bonne mine” glow.

Peachy eyelids and day-to-night lips

The autumn look that has stormed the runways and suits absolutely everyone is the peach-washed eyelid. Slather it on, and let it work hard for you, day and night. The look is pretty and trendy by day with a soft, pinky nude lip. Keep the peach on your lids and go straight to the evening do by swopping the lip shade for a dramatic, deep berry or crimson for the evening.

It’s worth getting a great quality peach colour, like the gorgeous M.A.C Cream Colour Base in rich coral. Its versatile and colour effects can be built up, so you can choose a subtle veil all the way through to a bold colour block, depending on the intensity of, and method of application. For your daytime look, the Benefit Ultra Plush Lip Gloss in “Poutrageous” glides on and drenches lips in sexy colour that is never sticky. 




Then, for your transition to glamour girl in the evening, you cannot go wrong with the gorgeous NARS lipstick shade Transeurope Express 1012. This rich, vivid shade will definitely get you noticed, and the long-wear finish won’t let you down as you party the night away! Conditioners and antioxidants hydrate, nourish and protect your lips for kissable perfection!

Smokin’ sexy eyes

And the eyes, let’s not forget the Autumn eyes! Black is back, in a big way, all around the eye for Autumn, smoky, sexy and mysterious! And to give it that very “now” edge? An unexpected swish of glitter to stay right on trend. It’s edgy and fun! If you are daring, get your glitter in royal blue. For a subtle and very beautiful glimmer, choose copper, rose or gold for your glitter fix!

Because everything is discounted on COSME-DE.COM, you may as well take the opportunity to invest in the best! You will never go wrong with a Chanel Ecriture De Chanel Eyeliner Pen in your makeup bag. Choose 10 Noir for the autumn eye. The Chanel liner is water-based, with a soft and supple felt-tip point that delivers a smooth, precise line every time. Special pigments ensure long wear and keep colour from “running”, so eyeliner always looks fresh. Despite the intense colour, the formula is gentle so it removes easily too. 
Hydration for Autumn

So, now you know your makeup is gorgeous and bang on trend, what about the rest of your autumn beauty routine? As the weather gets cooler and drier, it’s worth changing your skincare routine to include more in the way of moisturizing and nourishing products, like creams and oils for face and body. You might swop a gel wash for a hydrating cream cleanser, or a granular body exfoliater for one with oil in it to moisturize as you exfoliate and keep skin smooth.

Skin must be moisturized every day, so it’s worth investing in a rich moisturizer for body and face. Don’t forget your hands and feet, they still need attention in the dry, colder weather. And sunscreen is still a must, even if the sun itself is not making quite as much of an appearance these days!

Take the chance to try new things!

Lay The Right Foundation For Flawless, All Day Beauty

While I am an absolute fan of the ‘barely there’ no makeup look that has been popular for a long while now, there are some situations where it just doesn’t cut it! Like, when you need to take over the world, or get married, or win an Oscar, or globe trot from boardroom to boardroom. Or just get through a long, hot, rainy, cool, sweaty, busy day. You don’t really want makeup migration in all directions all over your face. You don’t need a little meltdown at the wedding. What you do need, is a handy long-lasting foundation, there for you through thick and thin, something with a bit of backbone!

Beauty Tech is our friend!

Some long-lasting foundations had a bad reputation in the past, for being cakey and drying out the skin. Well, technology in beauty and makeup is definitely our friend and the formulations are silky, smooth and lightweight, they don’t dry out the skin and yet last and last when you need them most!
So, whatever is on your skincare ‘be gone with you’ list – be it dark circles, scars, blemishes, pigmentation, redness, visible pores or any other gremlins, it’s worth finding yourself one of the foundation friends that does not abandon you after a paltry couple of hours!

Prime spot

One of the best ways to ensure your makeup stays put while you get around, is to use a primer under your makeup. Primers don’t have an immediate visible effect, but they do work hard for their money – minimising the appearance of pores and keeping the foundation on top firmly in place. Laura Mercier has a winner with its Foundation Primer. A colourless, lightweight creamy gel that creates an invisible layer that acts as a buffer to outside elements. It keeps your makeup looking fresh and colour-true all day. As an added bonus it contains Vitamins A, C, and E, which are antioxidants and protect the skin from harmful, aging effects of the environment. If you are in a warm weather climate, you can keep it in the fridge before applying for a refreshing blast that reduces puffiness.




Once you have done your preparation, it’s time to choose your hard worker! A product that stops me from doing a Cinderella and leaving at midnight is Guerlain Tenue De Perfection Timeproof Foundation Ultimate Lasting Perfection SPF 20 / PA++. It is a delight when it comes to colour and texture, with a velvety soft finish. It blends into my skin for a perfect-looking complexion, and then it lasts, and lasts, and last! After-party anyone? 



Another favourite long-wearing foundation is Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup SPF 10. Like Estée herself, this foundation is hard working and innovative. A worry-free 15 hours of staying power that stays fresh and natural-looking for all the activity we can dream of getting up to! It also comes in a wide range of colours so you can match your skin tone perfectly! 




Magic mist!

So, you’ve primed your face, used a long-lasting foundation and done the rest of your makeup and you can’t help a little ‘wow’ as you look in the mirror! You need your makeup to stay EXACTLY like this all day! There is one more trick, used by catwalk makeup artists everywhere – it’s fixing spray! These are fine mists, often with nourishing and cooling properties that set your makeup ‘just so’. Yes! A magic mist that keeps your game face on all day! A brilliant fixing spray is Clinique Moisture Surge Face Spray Thirsty Skin Relief. It helps set makeup, replenish thirsty skin, and restore moisture equilibrium. Its gentle texture provides an immediate feeling of freshness and well-being, leaving the skin soft and supple. Just spritz and be merry! 




So, it’s easy to keep super girl’s makeup exactly where she wants it – all day, and right into the club! Hear hear!
