The Beauty Radar: August

Peter Philips reimagines Dior’s makeup codes for fall with a bold, pop-infused edge. Inspired by the Miss Dior graffiti logo, the collection centres on three mini lines – Shocking Pink, Bold Black and Wild Beige — spanning eyes, lips, nails and complexion. From the fuchsia-fuelled Diorshow 5 Couleurs palette and graffiti-etched Rouge Dior bullets, to refillable cushion cases and Dior Addict lipsticks, each piece is designed to reflect a woman’s individuality. New textures, limited-edition shades, and collectable packaging make this a standout drop for the season ahead.

Pocket-sized and perfect for on-the-go reapplication, it’s also available in four mood-based scent options: Soft, Bold, Breezy, and Rich. Apply to pulse points like wrists, neck, and behind the ears for a personal, amplified take on your favourite fragrance.
