The Beauty Radar: June
THE LIP COLOUR
SORBÉ Lip Blur Cushion
Blotted, soft-focus lips continue to dominate beauty trends, and SORBÉ's latest launch makes achieving the look easier than ever. The lightweight formula delivers a velvety wash of colour that can be worn sheer or built up for more impact, while hydrating ingredients help keep lips feeling comfortable. Available in three wearable shades, it's ideal for anyone looking to move away from high-shine finishes this summer.

THE PURPLE SHAMPOO
K18 TripleBright Oxidation Defense Purple Shampoo
Purple shampoo is hardly a new concept, but K18's latest launch takes a more advanced approach. Rather than simply masking brassiness with violet pigments, TripleBright is designed to tackle some of the underlying causes of dull, discoloured blonde hair, including mineral and metal build-up from hard water. The lightweight foam formula also feels like a welcome update to traditional purple shampoos, making it easier to distribute evenly through the hair without the risk of over-toning.

THE MULTITASKER
Hindash Color Fluid
There are few products in our make-up bags that work quite as hard as Hindash's Color Fluid. Designed for use on the eyes, cheeks and lips, the lightweight pigments can be worn alone or mixed into other products to create custom shades. The latest additions to the line-up include Concrete, a cool-toned grey that's perfect for soft smoky eyes, and Sculpt, a warm caramel brown that doubles as a bronzer, a contour and an eyeshadow.

THE HIGHLIGHTER
Charlotte Tilbury Unreal Highlighter Fresh, Healthy Glow Stick
The glazed-skin trend shows no signs of slowing down, and Charlotte Tilbury's latest launch is designed to make achieving the look even easier. The Unreal Highlighter Fresh, Healthy Glow Stick delivers a sheer champagne glow that melts seamlessly into the skin, whether worn alone on no-make-up days or layered over foundation. Infused with skincare ingredients including hyaluronic acid and vitamins C and E, it gives skin a fresh, dewy finish without any obvious shimmer.

THE SPOT TREATMENT
Starface Hydro-Stars
Pimple patches have become a skincare staple, but few are as recognisable as Starface's bright yellow stars. Now available at Sephora Middle East, the cult brand has finally arrived in the region, bringing its playful approach to blemish care with it. Made with hydrocolloid to help absorb impurities and reduce the appearance of spots, the patches are as effective as they are Instagrammable.

THE LIP TINT
Gucci Glow Oil-In-Water Tint
Glossy lips aren't going anywhere, but the latest formulas are lighter, sheerer and far more wearable than their predecessors. Gucci Beauty's new Glow Oil-In-Water Tint sits somewhere between a lip oil, a balm and a tint, delivering a fresh wash of colour with a dewy, just-bitten finish. Available in eight shades, it leaves behind a subtle stain as the shine wears off.

THE FRAGRANCE
Dries Van Noten Soie Malaquais Gilded Bottle
One of our favourite scents from Dries Van Noten has had a luxurious makeover. Inspired by the designer's Paris boutique, ‘Soie Malaquais’ combines creamy chestnut, vanilla and cocoa with rose, blackcurrant and cardamom for a fragrance that feels warm, elegant and incredibly wearable. Now available in a limited-edition gilded porcelain bottle, each piece is individually finished with gold detailing, making it a beautiful addition to any fragrance collection.

THE BEAUTY EXPERIENCE
Sephora Beauty On Wheels
Beauty pop-ups are nothing new, but Sephora's latest concept feels far more community-driven than most. Taking beauty beyond the store, the roaming Beauty On Wheels bus is designed to bring together product discovery, complimentary touch-ups, giveaways and local collaborations in some of Dubai's most creative spaces. Following stops at Mihbash x Curated Playlist and Alserkal Avenue, the tour is set to continue across the city this summer.

THE SHOWER FILTER
Hello Klean Shower Head+
When it comes to beauty upgrades, a shower filter might not be the first thing that comes to mind, but perhaps it should be. Designed to reduce chlorine, metals and mineral build-up, Hello Klean's new Shower Head+ helps minimise some of the effects hard water can have on both hair and skin. The sleek design doesn't hurt either, while smart technology tracks water usage and alerts you when it's time for a filter change.
