Check out our 2024 Chinese New Year Beauty Picks:
SK-II
Bring out your glow from within this Year of the Dragon with SK-II’s PITERA™ Essence. Straying away from the typical shades of red, this limited edition collection is Paris-meets-Tokyo. Collaborating with Maison Kitsuné, it sees the PITERA™ Essence be transformed to a chic blush pink and includes the iconic fox from Maison Kitsuné in a yoga pose, symbolising the feeling of comfort in your true state.
Fresh
Fresh are embracing the magic of the dragon with this unique print that can be found on their Kombucha Essence, Tea Elixir and Black Tea Advanced Age Renewal Cream.
Shu Uemura
Shu Uemura’s auspicious take for the new year is bursting with ong and good luck. You’ll be able to find their exquisite gold dragon on a number of fan-favourites as well as a handful of seasonal shades as well.
NARS
NARS limited edition collection for the Lunar New Year sees their fan-favourite Powermatte lipsticks and Light Reflecting Setting Pressed Powder get a prosperous red makeover as well as an additional limited-time Quad eyeshadow palette as well.
Sulwhasoo
Sulwhasoo are putting their own unique and artistic touch to the traditional dragon this Chinese New Year. Complementing the already beautiful white porcelain-like bottle of the First Care Activating Serum, this limited edition release is art like. Utilising simple and delicate lines, it gives new life to the amber-coloured dragon soaring with a magic pearl—wittily transformed into a heart shape—in its mouth. Another auspicious touch is that you’ll find the brand’s logo in Chinese characters and a heart-shaped magic pearl on the packaging, placed there to wish for good luck in the New Year.
DECORTÉ
Befitting for the Year of the Dragon, DECORTÉ release a limited edition version of their Liposome Advanced Repair Serum. Replacing their iconic purple to a prosperous shade of red, why not ring in the new year looking your best with their skin rejuvenating and anti-ageing formula.
