Every beauty routine reaches a point where it could use a little refresh. Sometimes it’s a lipstick that changes the way you approach everyday makeup. Other times it’s a cleanser that simplifies your evening routine or a skincare product that helps your complexion cope with another long UAE summer.
Huda Beauty
Ten years after redefining the liquid matte lipstick, Huda Beauty is revisiting one of its most recognisable products with the launch of Liquid Matte Mousse. Instead of recreating the original, the new formula takes matte in a softer direction, pairing full-impact colour with a lightweight whipped texture designed to feel comfortable throughout the day.
Available in eight nude shades, the mousse glides on with a cushiony angled applicator, creating a soft-blurred finish that smooths the appearance of lip texture while remaining flexible and airy on the lips. Pair it with the brand’s Lip Contour 2.0 for a diffused, softly defined lip that feels thoroughly modern while paying homage to one of Huda Beauty’s most iconic launches.
Kosas
Blush has become one of the hardest-working products in a makeup bag, and Kosas is leaning into that with the launch of its new Impressionist Multistick. Designed for both cheeks and lips, the creamy formula creates a natural wash of colour that can be blended with fingertips, making it the perfect companion for everyday makeup as well as a travel essential.
Inspired by the soft, painterly approach of the Impressionists, the collection features seven skin-flattering shades intended to bring the face together by using the same tone across cheeks and lips. The skincare-powered formula combines botanical ingredients with Coenzyme Q10 for antioxidant protection while delivering up to 12 hours of comfortable wear.
SADE
A good cleanser should leave skin feeling refreshed and SADE’s new RiceWhip Milky Cleanser has been created with exactly that in mind. The milky to foam formula removes makeup, sunscreen and daily build-up while supporting the skin barrier, making it a great addition to both morning and evening skincare routines, particularly during the hotter months when skin is constantly exposed to sunscreen, humidity and air conditioning.
Powered by rice extract, niacinamide, panthenol and amino acids, the cleanser is designed to hydrate as it cleanses, helping skin feel soft, balanced and comfortable after every wash. Gentle enough for sensitive skin and suitable as either a standalone cleanser or the first step of a double cleanse, RiceWhip reflects SADE’s focus on barrier-first skincare with uncomplicated, everyday essentials.
Beauty Works
Summer hairstyling often comes with a compromise. Humidity can flatten freshly styled hair, while frequent trips to the beach and pool usually mean washing, drying and restyling more often than we’d like. Rather than spending more time with heated tools, many are turning to clip-in extensions as a quick way to add volume and fullness with minimal effort.
Beauty Works is championing this approach with its premium 100% Remy Human Hair Clip-In Extensions, offering an easy way to create fuller blow-dries, soft waves and more polished everyday styles in just a few minutes. Beyond adding length and volume, the extensions help reduce the need for excessive teasing and repeated styling, making them a practical addition to any summer beauty routine, whether you’re heading to brunch, an evening event or simply trying to keep your hair looking fresh despite the heat.
