August is well under way, and as always, so are the latest beauty products. From flawless foundations to vegan friendly brushes, Voir is at your service to share all of the newest makeup launches worthy of your attention. What’s more, we’re right on time. As summer begins to draw to a close, what’s more luxurious than adding some new, luscious items to your makeup bag? After all, they’re guaranteed to give you that well sought-after, fresh summer sheen all year long, and we can’t ask for much more than that!
Chanel Les Beiges Water-Fresh Blush
Comprised of 75% water, this innovative formula uses visible, micro-droplet pigments that instantly melt into your cheeks, offering a healthy-glow that hydrates the skin whilst leaving a natural-looking flushed effect. To apply, place a pea-size amount of blush onto the back of your hand and, for a subtle look, apply to the top of your cheekbones before blending gently with your fingertips. For a more defined finish, apply the product on the lower parts of the cheeks and then blend outwards – we promise you’ll adore each of the six available shades!
Charlotte Tilbury Eyes To Mesmerise
If you haven’t heard of Charlotte Tilbury’s Eyes to Mesmerise, you’re missing out. Whilst this creamy eyeshadow formula is nothing new, three gorgeous, sparkling shades of champagne have now arrived, and they’re waiting to be added to your collection. From Golden Eclipse to Exagger-Eyes and Sunlit Glow, these dreamy colours are both impactful and silky-smooth, packing a punch with each swipe of their glow-glide texture. To use the product, grab either a blender brush or your fingertips to apply a light wash of colour for a weightless daytime look, or, build up multiple layers for a more intense, iridescent finish.
Hourglass Ambient Soft Glow Foundation
Hourglass’ new foundation, launching this month, is the perfect lightweight, buildable formula – destined to keep your skin fresh, lovely and glowing throughout each and every season. Lasting for up to sixteen hours, this vegan, cruelty and gluten-free product is laced with white tea extract, vitamin E, and antioxidants, delivering a natural finish and minimising the look of fine lines and imperfections. To apply, prep your skin with both moisturiser and primer, apply a pea-size amount of foundation to the centre of the face, then simply blend outwards – gently buffing into your skin before building the product to the desired level of coverage.
Morphe M439 Buffer Foundation Brush
Whilst makeup brushes are undoubtedly essential, far too often, those that are high-performing can be particularly cruel. When it comes to Morphe, however, their new premium brushes are 100% vegan – promising precision with each use. Here at Voir, we recommend their buffer foundation brush to begin with, as its full, domed shape provides the necessary density to apply foundation both evenly and flawlessly. If you’re hoping to start a collection of synthetic brushes, what better way to start than with this one?
R.E.M. Beauty Sweetener Concealer
Whether your a fan of Ariana Grande or not, there’s no denying that her other-worldly beauty brand, r.e.m. beauty, consistently produces products that are just as show-stopping as their creator. This month, a new concealer offers buildable coverage that brightens, highlights, conceals and corrects, infused with ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and ashwagandha, to name a few. By doubling up as skincare, this product creates a flawless finish that promises to shine through both with, or without, makeup atop it, offered within a line of 60 shades to ensure it’s suitable for everyone. For brightening, just one of the concealer’s many functions, choose a shade at least 1-2 shades lighter than your skin tone – or use fair 1 for the ultimate, bright white highlight.
