Ystyle summer beauty picks
For a natural-looking flutter
Lash extensions are now more lightweight for a jet-set summer. While Ayumi is known for glamorous looks, they have updated their signature voluminous 5D Lashes with a more lifted curl that’s a touch effortless. Whatever’s on your itinerary, the 5D Ange Curl lets you look more awake and bright-eyed in an instant. Pair it with Ayumi’s take on clean girl beauty staple, Jelly Milk Nails. They will soon offer by-appointment reiki healing sessions by life coach Kimi Lu.

For summer skin, a reparative barrier cream
After a day out in the sun, what’s your skincare regimen like? Unless you’re burnt, reducing visible redness and returning your skin barrier to a healthy state should be your top priority. Clean beauty pioneer Drunk Elephant’s new Bora Barrier Repair Cream delivers restoring actives glucosyl ceramides, beta-sitosterols, and zinc and copper salt minerals to encourage the natural synthesis of healthy collagen, vital lipids, and hyaluronic acid in skin, promoting elasticity, soothing skin, and supporting healthy barrier function — all in a deeply moisturizing formula. Mature skin will benefit from it most and beauty-loving Gen Alpha in your family will love mixing a “smoothie” out of it with any of the brand’s serums.

After all the fun, some gentle refinement
Once the tan has faded, skin can look dull and patchy and feel rough and dry. Getting gentle exfoliation in your toning step is what Aesop’s new Immaculate Facial Tonic is about, refining skin texture with mucor miehei extract, improving tone with niacinamide, and boost the skin’s suppleness with panthenol in a light formula. And because it’s Aesop, the step alone will be a sensorial treat with the naturally warm, floral, woody scent of rose petals.

For your lips, a celestial glow
The celebrity makeup artist Albert Kurniawan knows a thing or two about lending an ethereal glow to our goddesses who dwell in our local show business. For his makeup brand Teviant, he makes it a one-step process for your lips with the She Balm!, a tinted lip serum and balm. Kurniawan designed five shades to be flattering for all skin tones: Kate is a soft salmon; Miranda is a sheer mauve; Nikita is a spiced peach; Mrs. Tan is a bubble gum pink; and For U is a sheer terracotta, all with a hint of glow and shine that’s part makeup and part skincare thanks to soybean glycerides, shea butter, hyaluronic acid, and castor oil. The perfect mix of hydration and color for summer.
She Balm! Is available for purchase at P595 at all Teviant counters nationwide and online at Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok.
