This new eyecare product by Dior Beauty almost sounds too good to be true: The Capture Totale Hyalushot wrinkle corrector is the first intensive wrinkle solution by the brand that acts on the appearance of both present wrinkles and emerging signs of wrinkles. Dior science has shown that the skin’s mother cells lose their anchoring proteins with age, leading to the loss of hyaluronic acid. Wrinkles appear and become established in eight main areas of the face: forehead wrinkles, frown lines between the eyebrows, crow’s feet at the outer corners of the eyes, vertical wrinkles on the cheekbones, bunny lines on the upper and lateral parts of the nose, upper lip wrinkles and marionette lines on the lower corners of the lips.

This next-generation wrinkle corrector targets these various areas by harnessing the power of three ingredients: a duo of hyaluronic acids, a peptide selected for its smoothing effect and a longoza extract, which visibly plumps and smooths the skin, both instantly and over time.

The product’s sleek design was inspired by medical aesthetic tools; its thin tube is extended with an ultra-thin tip, making it easy to apply the treatment precisely in the hollows of the facial skin.

The latest launch from La Prairie, the Platinum Rare Haute‐Rejuvenation Mask, marks a new milestone in what the Swiss beauty brand terms the science of haute rejuvenation. This two‐step night treatment starts with the application of the Ultra‐Potent Concentrate, housed in single‐dose vials, followed by the Ultra‐Sensorial Cream. These work synergistically to smooth and plump skin, restoring its firmness and elasticity—promising visible rejuvenating results after a single application.

For the first time, Guerlain is leveraging quantum science in its skin biology research to investigate how cellular light emission changes with age. Its groundbreaking research into gold quantum technology harnesses the rejuvenating properties of the Gold Nobile orchid to offer multiple skin benefits, including purportedly enhanced cellular metabolism and improved skin luminosity. The Orchidée Impériale Gold Nobile The Cream, comprising 94 per cent natural ingredients, is enriched with a ceramide‐like emollient and anti‐inflammatory squalane, plus four humectants for optimal hydration. Key to its radiance‐boosting formula are two luxurious components: a complex of 24K gold particles and mother‐of‐pearl, which work together to capture and softly diffuse light across the skin, creating a luminous effect without excessive shine.

BODYCARE

The start of the year inspires most of us to put extra care into our grooming and wellness efforts. American brand Sol de Janeiro’s travel‐friendly Jet Set kits are an easy way to experience sensorial joy no matter where you go. Available in three versions, each set comprises a body wash, a moisturiser and one of the brand’s iconic Cheirosa perfume mists—so you can cleanse, hydrate and spritz on the go.

More often than not, we neglect our hands—leaving the skin there feeling rough and uncared for. An easy way to avoid this is to apply hand cream regularly. K‐beauty brand Aromatica has a new collection of highly moisturising ones that come packed with enriching ingredients such as shea butter. What makes them exceptional is the addition of adenosine, known for its remarkable ability to stimulate elastin and collagen production to help restore a healthy, youthful look and feel. Choose from four scents: Embrace (neroli and patchouli), Inspirit (basil and bergamot), Mellowness (magnolia and sandalwood) and Serene (lavender and marjoram).

HAIRCARE

A hairdryer and multi-styler rolled into one, this hair tool made its Southeast Asian debut in mid‐2023 and quickly became a hot favourite among beauty enthusiasts for its ease of use and multifunctionality. At its heart is an innovative heat‐measuring and ‐regulating technology that works to keep heat damage, not to mention frizz and flyaways, to a minimum.

Backed by two decades of research, the Duet Style, haircare brand GHD’s first two‐in‐one hot‐air styler, is a game changer that transforms hair from wet to styled. Outfitted with a unique GHD styling chamber that combines internal airflow aerodynamics with four smart low‐temperature plates, it efficiently dries and straightens hair simultaneously. The Shine Shot Mode—to be used only on dry hair—turns the tool into a regular styler that functions at an optimum styling temperature of 185C to effortlessly de‐frizz the hair while also boosting shine.

MAKE-UP

Start the year right with Dior Beauty’s upgraded Rouge Dior lipsticks, which now come in new satin and velvet finishes, as well as refurbished packaging. There are 35 colours available in Singapore, including 999—the iconic Dior red.

When you want to add radiance to your complexion, reach for this buttery‐smooth pressed powder highlighter. One or two swipes with a brush is all you need to impart a sun‐touched shimmer to your skin. Lightweight and long‐wearing, it comes in two sheer, luminous shades: 01 Rose Irisé, a pink hue for cool tones, and 02 Gran Paradis, a bright gold that blends seamlessly into skin.

If you can only choose just one eyeshadow palette this year, let this be your pick. Comprising nine colours in three finishes, it offers endless possibilities for every occasion. The four matte hues—pink, taupe, and two variations of brown—with creamy and easily blendable textures are perfect for everyday use or as transitional colours in your eye make-up routine, while the five complementary shimmering and metallic hues are great for both “opening up” the eyes (apply a dash of the glittery bronze or champagne to the inner corners or under the eyes) and creating more striking looks (cue the vibrant pink, lilac and silver).
