Hermès Beauty

Trait d’Hermès Revitalizing Care Mascara

Article content

They say: A mascara that’s part of the luxury French house’s Le Regard Hermès release, these colourful formulation feature 97 per cent natural ingredients including shea and moringa butters to nourish lashes while adding colour and definition.

We say: These luxe mascaras deliver lift and length, along with cool colours to play with. The shade 03-Rouge H, a cherry brown with a touch of burgundy that’s referred to as the house’s heritage colour, was a favourite, giving lashes a fun pop of colour. Our tester found two coats gave lashes good definition and tint.

Shiseido

Revitalessence Skin Glow Foundation

They say: A foundation formula with skin-care ingredients — the same level of skin-loving ingredients as in the brand’s bestselling serum — such as fermented Kefir+ and niacinamide to smooth and brighten skin while masking imperfections.

We say: With a lightweight feel and buildable formula, this foundation is easy to use and comfortable to wear. Our tester found one pump of the product, applied to the face with a blending sponge, gave skin a perfected appearance without feeling overly makeup-y on skin.

Quo Beauty

Glow On Face Powder

They say: A face powder featuring “microfine shimmers and pigments” along with Vitamin E to smooth for a “lit-from-within glow.”

We say: This highlighting face powder performs way beyond its price. Our tester found the formula provided a stunning highlight that was perfectly pearly without being sparkly. Run, don’t walk, to get it.
