The Beauty List: 9 Editor-Approved Beauty Products For May 2025
For this New Beauty Issue, we present a luminous curation of advanced glow-boosting formulas and time reversing innovations that celebrate skin at every stage. From clinical-grade rejuvenators to light-reflecting heroes, this is the future of ageless radiance
Glass Act
The spirit of the legendary Orphéon jazz club lives on in this limited edition blueglass bottle. Juniper’s lively spark, jasmine’s soft powder kiss, and tonka’s smoky embrace recreate 1960s Parisian nights. Spritz. Close your Eyes. You’re there.
Daily Defender
Sun protection meets next-gen skincare. This fast-absorbing, fragrance-free SPF 50 defends with four clean UV filters while actively renewing skin, blurring wrinkles, neutralising redness, and boosting radiance. Powered by TFC8 technology, it’s weightless armour against ageing with a luminous finish.
Kiss Kiss
Plush, high-shine colour meets serious hydration in this weightless lip oil. Enriched with a nine-oil vegan complex and vitamin E, it drenches lips in long-lasting moisture while leaving behind a juicy tint. No stickiness, just pillowy softness and a mirror-like finish.
Glow On
This silky elixir blends Provence almond oil and omega-rich hydration to envelop skin in a golden shimmer veil without a trace of grease. The fast-absorbing formula leaves limbs impossibly smooth, lightly scented with warm candied almonds and glowing with youthful luminosity.
Bee-utiful
This ceramide-rich therapy mask blends Mirsalehi honey and eight precious oils to rescue dry ends, while hyaluronic acid seals in glassy shine without weighing strands down. Clinically proven to strengthen, hydrate, and gloss with that iconic golden scent. Brittle? Never heard of her.
Tint-alising
This hydration-boosting skin tint is your warm-weather weapon, proven to increase moisture by 24 per cent while delivering 12-hour, sweat-proof wear. Packed with triple hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, it’s a clean, breathable shield against summer stress for agedefying coverage.
Ready, Set…
Spray. Huda Kattan’s new fragrance-free, alcohol-free setting spray blurs pores with rice starch, controls shine with mineral clay and plumps skin with five hyaluronic acids — melting make-up into a 16-hour, transfer-proof, soft-focus finish. No baking required.
The Cheek
This cream-to-powder wonder delivers a flush of instant vitality – bouncing on as a cream, setting like featherlight powder. Infused with cacao and fruit oils, it blurs lines while locking in a sweat-proof, crease-proof wash of colour.
Time Machine
Who needs to turn back the clock when you’ve got French science? This dual-power cream (day and night in one luxe jar) hijacks ageing with ALFA [3R] TECH and niacinamide — smoothing 88 per cent instantly, firming 90 per cent in a week, and serving 100 per cent glow by month’s end.
