The Beauty Blog offers an inside look at Hong Kong’s beauty scene, from the latest trends and must-have products to expert advice and treatment reviews.
In the never-ending quest for complexion perfection, beauty brands are constantly coming up with new formulas, enhanced ingredients and innovative delivery systems. I’ve had the pleasure of testing a number of new and updated products this season, and am happy to have found some favourites. Here’s hoping they can help you put your best face forward.
1. Cover FX Total Cover Cream Foundation
Newly launched at Joyce Beauty, this cream foundation (HK$365) is a Hollywood favourite thanks to its long-wearing formula, buildable coverage (it evens hides tattoos) and low risk of irritation. While I typically shy away from solid foundations, I was won over by the SPF 30 and promises of all-day wear. The cream is in fact easy to blend, and suitable for use as a concealer. It does last for several hours, but looks best with a swipe of powder to tone down any excess oil. Cover FX also makes a great Mattifying Primer and Blotting Powder. Available at Joyce Beauty counters and stores.

2. Clé de Peau Beauté Luminizing Face Enhancer #14
Clé de Peau Beauté’s highlighting powder compact (HK$800) – featuring packaging designed by jeweller Shaun Leane – has enjoyed cult status since its launch a few years ago. The latest incarnation, from the brand’s spring/summer make-up collection, is a perfect blend of warm and cool tones to add radiance without excess shimmer. I like to brush it across my cheekbones and under my eyebrows. It can also be used on the neck and décolleté. Available at Clé de Peau Beauté counters and stores.
