IF you love to wear makeup, one of your realizations in this pandemic is that you can go without it. Between the face mask and face shield that we all need to wear when we’re out of the house, who has the energy for makeup?
There are still those who wear makeup for online meetings, for taking selfies for Instagram, to make themselves feel better about working at home, or just to play with colors and textures.
If you’re one of these people and/or someone who is looking for holiday gifts for someone who’s into makeup, Anastasia Beverly Hills has new products for the brows, eyes and lips.
Here’s the most pandemic-friendly gifting advice: You can order Anastasia Beverly Hills from www.sephora.ph.
Of course, Anastasia Beverly Hills is well known for its brow products and this season, there are three new ones.
The Clear Brow Gel is like clear topcoat for brows. The lightweight, brush-on gel sets product and keeps hair in place. You could also wear it alone.
The Brow Pen is a superfine-tipped pen ideal for creating hair-like strokes that will give you your most natural-looking brows yet.
The Brow Definer is an eyebrow pencil that has three different-sized edges. The product is ideal for versatility in application.
Anastasia Beverly Hills also recently introduced is its virtual Eyebrow Shade Finder. With this feature, all you need to do is take a selfie or upload your picture at bit.ly/3nBeje2 and it will help you find the perfect eyebrow shade for you.
Another thing that the brand is well known for are its palettes. I have the Modern Renaissance and while the colors may seem too bold, it is one of my most well-used and well-loved ones.
The new Soft Glam II is an everyday-to-night palette with eight shades, including essential mattes and glam shimmers. It has six fan-favorite shades from the original Soft Glam Eye Shadow Palette plus two shades from the cult-classic Norvina Eye Shadow Palette. This is the perfect palette for traveling—if and when we’re allowed to travel again.
The limited-edition Mini Lash Brag Volumizing Mascara Ornament is a travel-sized volumizing mascara that instantly adds the look of dramatic volume, fullness and thickness to any lash type.
The new eye and brow products would make perfect gifts for those who still wear full eye makeup because it’s the only thing that can be seen now that we’re wearing masks all the time.
The limited-edition Haute Holiday Mini Lip Gloss Set is a vanilla-scented holiday lip gloss set that lets you customize your ultimate holiday lip looks. It features four all-new lip gloss shades including two flattering lacquer finishes with high-shine effect and two shimmering finishes with multi-dimensional reflect.
I’m very curious about the Lip Stain, which claims to be “an incredibly long-lasting lip stain with rich color, matte finish, weightless feel and serious staying power.” I have read very good reviews for the product and some users have said that it’s mask-proof. Some have said it doesn’t turn crusty like other liquid lip products.
