1 / 5 Shu Uemura Ultime8∞ Sublime Beauty Cleansing Oil
Shu Uemura is the go-to brand for make-up and skincare tailored to Asian skin. If you're choosing from their five signature cleansing oils, the one worth incorporating into your routine is the Ultime8∞ Sublime Beauty Cleansing Oil. A sensorial experience rooted in Japanese skincare tradition, it is infused with precious tsubaki oil sourced from handpicked seeds on Japan's Toshima Island. Three pumps of this dissolve even the most stubborn waterproof make-up, all while deeply nourishing the skin. Beyond removing make-up, it neither strips moisture nor leaves behind a greasy film; instead, your complexion feels smooth, supple, and comforted, as if you've just had a facial. — Raushana Salim, beauty intern

2 / 5 Chanel Éclat Premier Bright Milky Essence
Never underestimate the powers of ylang-ylang, at least that's what I'm reminded of whilst gently tapping this milky essence into my skin. Heralded as a premier flower extract by Chanel, the key ingredient emits a soothing scent and has also been proven to improve skin radiance. Coupled with pure niacinamide, a few drops of this lightweight number has been the latest step in my skincare routine. The result has been a brighter and more balanced complexion, given that the product is targeted towards dark spots that can arise from acne or external environmental stressors. — Janice Sim, digital editor

3 / 5 Pixi Beauty Lip Tone Gloss
The Pixi Beauty Lip Tone Gloss is the kind of no-fuss, feel-good product you find yourself reaching for every day. This pH-reactive gloss glides on clear and adjusts to your lips' unique chemistry, leaving behind a subtle flush of colour that breathes life into your lips. It goes one step beyond 'your lips but better,' enhancing your natural lip tone while providing lasting hydration and nourishment—it transforms your lips for the better. Glossed lips may appear hydrated, but many formulas feel sticky and fade quickly. What sets the Lip Tone Gloss apart is its infusion of rosehip seed oil, mango butter, and shea butter, delivering genuine hydration in a non-sticky formula that lasts for hours. It works so well, you'll wonder how it isn't a luxury purchase. A swipe is all it takes to achieve an effortless, polished look. — Raushana Salim, beauty intern

4 / 5 Haus Labs by Lady Gaga Colour Fuse Blush Powder
My blush era is on the up and up. The latest to enter my periphery of vision: Haus Labs's Colour Fuse Blush Powder. Talc-free and packed with anti-inflammatory and moisturising ingredients such as squalane, fermented arnica and hydraberry, this pressed powder harnesses its pigment with care. My personal colour pick is Fire Moon, a warm rush of sunset that feels just right for the summer. It's become my latest obsession; a tap and swipe grants a sheer, audible wash of colour with a satin finish, one that I enjoy slowly building up and painting both my cheeks and peepers in. — Azrin Tan, senior digital writer

5 / 5 Virute Labs Damage Reverse Serum
If there's a haircare must-have for me, it's a multitasking heat protectant that doubles as a serum—especially with the daily blow-dry torture my hair endures after every wash. Virtue Lab's Damage Reverse Serum, comes through with its Alpha Keratin 60ku® formula. Upon massaging it into the scalp, pleasure is gleaned from its soothing honey scent, whilst its creamy, weightless texture seamlessly melts into the scalp. Post-application, the serum reduces damage, restores lost keratin and strengthens strands from the inside out. — Kashish Malani, digital intern
Virute Labs Damage Reverse Serum, $98, available at Sephora
