In The Spotlight - Make-up Newness We're Obsessed With

As a team of established cosmetic experts (and obsessive’s!), we are always quick to introduce the latest new products in the industry to our website. Here is a roundup of all the make-up newness that we’ve tried & tested and are obsessed with for the beginning of 2021.

The before and after pictures speak for themselves! Designed with sensitive eyes in mind, Jane Iredale knew already when creating Jane Iredale Enlighten Plus Concealer SPF30 that the under-eye skin is a lot more delicate than the rest of the body and therefore it’s the first place to show premature ageing. Because of this, the brand spent over 5 years creating a concealer that not only conceals but also revives the eye area.

It reminds me a lot of Colorescience Total Eye 3-in-1 Renewal Therapy SPF35 but offering a little more coverage. The clever, cooling anti-microbial stainless steel applicator helps to reduce puffiness and awaken tired eyes while the formula inside hydrates, provides sun protection and actually improves the skin texture over time.

A super hydrating, multi-tasking cream blush to help achieve the lit-from-within glow that we all desire to pull off all year round. Available in Mist (pictured), Aura & Ethereal there is a shade to suit all skin tones and preferences. A few sweeps on the apples of the cheeks makes it a really quick and convenient alternative to traditional blushers and those who like to touch up during the day too. Hero ingredient Jojoba Oil helps to reduce redness and minimises the appearance of fine lines while Mica delivers a beautiful yet subtle light-reflecting sheen on the skin. Easy to blend, simple to use and hassle-free.

Not necessarily new to the market but new to us at Dermacare Direct nevertheless and we love it! One of the best selling products within delilah which I think speaks volumes. The secret to great-looking make-up is to perfect what goes on underneath. delilah Under Wear Future Resist Foundation Primer has been created to perfectly prepare the skin for makeup, ensuring it will apply more easily, look great, and last longer. Totally translucent, it glides onto the skin easily and absorbs instantly. The complexion appears lifted, radiant, smooth and added peptides within the formula are a bonus to help to improve the structure of the skin over time too.

The practice of Gua sha (pronounced gwahshah) has recently taken the social media world and beauty industry by storm! The MZ Skin Rose Quartz Gua Sha is designed to help relieve tension within the facial muscles, boost blood circulation, and encourage lymphatic drainage to banish bloating and sculpt facial contours while also providing a huge sense of at-home self care whenever you want it. It can be used right down to the neck and check as well. It is best paired with an oil or moisturiser beforehand as a lubricant; we like to use MZ Skin Rest & Revive.

Suitable for everyone and with the most sensitive skins in mind, Cliniccare Dermo Corrective Cream SPF50 is a clever product containing self-adjusting pigments to adapt perfectly to every individual skin tone that it touches while at the same time creating a natural glow. The 4-in-1 skin perfector not only acts as a light foundation but also a facial primer, a moisturising day cream and a SPF50 sun screen. It works as the perfect transition to a lighter base during the warmer months combined with Jane Iredale Glow Time Blush. If that wasn’t enough, in addition to all this, it also fights swelling, redness, irritation and minimises pigmentation and skin imperfections.

The perfect solution to cheat a constant, all year round sun tan – Swiss Clinic Self Tan Drops couldn’t be any easier to use and even more so if you are new to applying tan, simply mix a couple of drops into your usual moisturiser and wait for your new found glow to develop quickly afterwards! If you prefer to apply your tanning products overnight then try Swiss Clinic Hydrating Self-Tan Pads instead and for ultimate colour & glow you can combine both together. You can even apply the drops directly to the skin for a deep, intense colour. No need to worry about the dreaded smell that fake tan usually carries either as the formula has a lovely subtle and fresh scent.
