Dolce&Gabbana Millennialskin On-The-Glow Tinted Moisturiser. Comes in 10 shades from porcelain to sable to suit skins from the lightest to the darkest and has UVA and UVB filters plus a guaranteed eight hours’ hydration formula. Lightweight and oil-free, it uses a blend of high-performance ingredients to create an enviable glow with light-reflecting powders to give a soft-focus effect and polymeric microspheres to fill in tiny furrows. Available at leading retailers.

Gucci High Shine Lipstick Collection. Formulated for intense colour and lustre, these eight shades are created with the same key tones as the Deep Matte Lipstick Collection. They’re intensely pigmented with a lightweight formula that imparts a high-shine glossy finish. The line-up of pale pinks, orange-reds, pink-reds and intense reds includes Heartbreaker, a rich claret shade, Blossom, rose pink, and Iconic Red, a classic cardinal red. Available at leading retailers.

Guerlain Terracotta Summer Escape. A three-part addition to the earlier-released summer collection, this features a lightweight fluid complete with skin-enhancing complex and integrated sun protection to add colour for a sun-kissed effect. The perennial favourite bronzer, with this year’s model coming in a gorgeous mahogany wood compact, inspired by yacht decks. The powder itself featuring a compass motif. And, to finish off the look, a softly golden highlighter to accentuate that summer glow. Available at leading retailers.

Lens ME at Wojooh. It’s no longer enough just to apply eyeshadow, the latest trend is to change or enhance your eye colour and Wojooh is now stocking lightweight coloured contact lenses. There’s a range of 12 natural-looking colours that will have heads turning. Match your skin tone or try something completely different, with shades from brown, grey and blue to olive and honey. The choice is yours. Available at Wojooh.

Nars Highlighting Powder Collection. Featuring Seamless Glow Technology, this innovative formula, available in six shades, combines micro-spherical powders and pearls that reflect light and melt seamlessly into skin, promising to enhance your natural glow. The silky, lightweight texture provides easy blending for buildable radiance that goes from delicately lit to strobed in the speed of light. No glitter. Just glow. Available at Sephora.

Gorgio Armani Sì Passione. A new addition to the range, Passione reiterates the keynote signature of Sì — blackcurrant Jungle Essence nectar, combined with a sparkling, joyful pear. The new fragrance combines intense vanilla with the blooms of rose, heliotrope and jasmine to create a sensual, fruity floral scent. At its heart is cedarwood and the modern ambery-woody Orcanox, giving a maturity and character, mirroring a boldness of emotion. The colour red in the bottle is a sign of vitality and passion. Available at leading retailers.

Chloé Nomad. A powerful floral chypre with the intense, mineral character of the oak moss shrouded in the voluptuous sweetness of the mirabelle plum. From this freshness emanates a sensation of flowery luminescence carried by freesia. These natural ingredients, brought together by perfumer Quentin Bisch, join together in an inspired bottle, transparent to allow a rosy beige light to filter through capped with bright reflections sealed by a pink knot. Available at leading retailers.

Bema Cosmetics Blue Defense Face Line and Solar Tea Sun Protection Cream. The Italian manufacturer of natural and organic cosmetics used the recent Beautyworld Middle East, in Dubai, to unveil its Blue Defense Face Line and Solar Tea Sun Protection Cream. The Blue Defense products include eye contour emulsion, face cream and face serum which are made specifically for mature skin and help to combat signs of ageing. The sun screen is certified organic and comes in variants up to factor 50, to suit every skin type. Available at www.bemaboutique.it

Lancôme Absolue Precious Cells Nourishing and Revitalising Rose Mask and Revitalising Rose Lotion.
Two new creations are added to the Absolue legacy. The mask is an opulent gel infused with genuine rose petals. Use twice a week instead of your usual night cream for revitalised more youthful looking skin – as attested by 80 per cent of those who tried it for a month. The lotion comes in a light gel texture that’s ideal for use in the morning before applying serum and day cream or before the mask at night. Available at leading retailers.

Versace Dylan Blue Pour Femme. Said by Donatella to be her tribute to femininity, the new fragrance sees a refreshing blackcurrant sorbet and Granny Smith apple create an unusual fruity accord. Woody base notes playfully mix together to create a unique elixir: styrax and white woods polished by water, musk and patchouli coeur blend in a captivating movement. Available at leading retailers.
