Beauty intel: Sulwhasoo, Kanebo

SKIN PROTECTION. Maintain radiant skin by shielding yourself from UV damage with the Snowise Brightening UV Protector from Sulwhasoo. Featuring Block Brightening technology and the brand’s proprietary Skin Coating Film technology, this upgraded product contains a high UV protection level of SPF50+/PA++++ to shield skin from harmful UV rays, and White Cloud Grass to reduce skin dullness caused by fine atmospheric dust. It dries to a lightweight finish and prevents the adherence of harmful materials to your skin. S$92, available in Soft Glow (No. 1) and Soft Peach (No. 2), at all Sulwhasoo boutiques and counters.

PRETTY UP YOUR EYES AND LIPS. Vivid lips and well-framed lashes — that is the look you want to rock right now. Try the new Wearing Keep Rouge (S$46, available in six shades) and Natural Framing Mascara (S$54) from Kanebo. With their long-lasting and high-colouring pigment formula, the lipsticks impart a brilliant finish that is lightweight and non-sticky, while staying on the lips for a long time. Pick from colours such as Smart Red, Warm Coral and Vibrant Red, or Flores Pin, Fuchsia Rose and Smoky Red. The mascara features a unique wand design that promises to coat every lash, from root to tip. The smooth-textured formulation is excellent for building fan-like, full lashes without any clumps. And when it comes to removal, no worries about stressing the eye area, either — the mascara is easily cleaned off with lukewarm water. Available at all Kanebo counters at OG and Takashimaya Departmental Store.
