8 Luxe Make-Up Launches Worth The Money
Les 4 Ombres Boutons Multi-Effect Quadra Eyeshadow
AED 360 | Chanel
It’s almost hard to think about using this eyeshadow palette for fear of destroying the intricately embossed designs (inspired by the fashion house’s buttons) but if you dare dip your brush in, the pay-off is worth it. Highly pigmented and blendable, this unique mix of shades will help you create a wide range of looks with just four colours.

The Foundation Drops
AED 495 | Victoria Beckham Beauty
Formulated in partnership with skincare guru Augustinus Bader and boosted with the brand’s famous, cell-regenerating TFC8 complex, this is one of the best examples of a true make-up-skincare hybrid. Serum-y in texture and delivering a lightweight, even finish, these drops create the kind of flawless, complexion-friendly coverage that often comes with investing a bit more.

Soleil Highlighter
AED 366 | Tom Ford Beauty
This gel-powder highlighter sweeps seamlessly onto the skin to leave behind an iridescent, lit-from-within glow. The look is chic sheen, not garish glitter – so rest assured the higher price tag more than shows up in the finish.

Everlast Concealer
AED 160 | Dolce & Gabbana
Creamy and comfortable on the skin, this concealer – which is available in 30 shades – leaves behind a slightly matte but not altogether flat finish. It’s also infused with a caffeine-like complex to help brighten dark circles and bio-peptides to boost radiance. We love the design of the applicator too, which allows for precise spot-concealing.

Essential Lip Compact
AED 455 | Fara Homidi
Uniquely packaged (you can definitely expect that expensive, luxurious weight) the entire cruelty-free and vegan Fara Homidi range is covetable – but we especially love this lip duo. Made up of a hydrating priming balm and punchy colour. The latter is available in four shades, each of which is impressively pigmented but non-drying for comfortable, long-lasting wear.

Rouge Dior On Stage Lipstick
AED 200 | Dior
Dior’s lipsticks are iconic and this new launch looks set to be another hit. Packaged in a slim, satisfying bullet and with a high-shine finish, the balmy texture is easy to apply and the hydrating effect lasts for up to 24 hours. The range also has a great selection of ‘nude’ shades for anyone who isn’t into a red lip – bonus.

Liquid Super Loaded Tinted Highlighter
AED 220 | Westman Atelier
Full of light-reflecting pearls that create a flattering glow, you can layer this skincare-infused highlighter under your foundation for added radiance or pat it onto the high points of your face to finish off a look. The ‘Peau de Soliel’ colour – a rich bronze – works particularly well on bare skin for a natural, sun-kissed finish.

Make Me Blush Blusher
AED 255 | Yves Saint Laurent
Some powder blushes can apply a bit cakey but this one melts into the skin for a blurred, beautiful finish. The texture is so silky you can pat a bit onto the lips for some soft-focus colour and even the eyelids if you want to create a fully monochrome look. We really like that the leather lid matches the blush colour inside, making it easy to spot the right shade in your make-up bag.
