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.
Who doesn’t love to discover a new beauty brand? I, for one, am always excited by the prospect of the next miracle cream. But perhaps even more exciting is when an already popular and well-established brand finally becomes available in Hong Kong. The products have been vetted, the reviews have posted, and now we get to see what all the fuss is about. Here are some of the big names that have recently set up shop in Hong Kong.
1. SHOW Beauty
This British hairstyling brand – founded and fronted by the fascinating Tamara Ecclestone – is all about glamour and opulence. The 11-piece collection is divided into various categories for nourishing, volumising, thickening and finishing. My favourites include the Pure Treatment Oil (HK$690) with argan and jojoba oils and a pleasant floral scent, and the Premiere Finishing Spray (HK$430) offering weightless hold. Ecclestone, who stopped by Hong Kong on her worldwide launch tour with baby in tow, says her go-to product these days is the Premiere Dry Shampoo (HK$430). Available at Joyce Beauty counters and stores.

2. AmorePacific
Korean skincare has been all the rage in Hong Kong for years, but until recently we couldn’t get our hands on behemoth brand AmorePacific. Finally, the group has launched its premium skincare line, Time Response, at Lane Crawford. The core ingredient, “first sprouted green tea leaves”, are said to make a compound 200 times stronger than Vitamin E. The collection, already a bestseller in the United States, includes a Skin Renewal Crème (HK$3,280), Eye Renewal Crème (HK$1,910) and Skin Renewal Serum (HK$3,750). Available at Lane Crawford IFC (2320 1323) and Canton Road (2110 1521).
