Now that April's showers are a thing of the past and we've successfully started switching up our beauty regimens thanks to last month's beauty launches, it's time to keep our skins looking dewy and hydrated despite the humidity and heat of summer! May's beauty launches are here and they've come to save the day and our hair, makeup, and, of course, your skin routines.
As the clothing layers decrease and we all start showing off more skin, we need to keep it buttery soft, protected from the sun's harsh UVs, and cleansed after a long day at a picnic with friends or at any socially distanced gatherings. Say thank you RiRi and Fenty Skin, derm-fave SkinCeuticals, and sustainable beauty brand Circumference because each brand has a respective product that will help us achieve all those.
And fewer layers of fabric don't mean you can leave your face mask at home. While people are getting vaccinated, we are still far from achieving herd immunity. Keeping that in mind, why not work on your summer makeup looks to include palettes that will help you accentuate visible areas while wearing masks and that won't cause maskne? Enter: Anastasia Beverly Hill's first face palette ever or Roén Beauty's new eyeshadow palette. Our masks won't stop us from wearing MAC's new Love Me Liquid Lipcolour – yes, we may or may not be hugely influenced by the brand's new ambassador, Lisa from BLACKPINK.
If you are looking to have more fun with your beauty purchases now that it's getting hotter out, keep your eyes on this space because we'll keep updating it to include all the best beauty products coming to the market this month!
Glossier Ultralip
You knew this was coming thanks to Olivia Rodrigo but the secret is finally out. Glossier has finally launched its latest makeup product. Enter: Ultralip. As the name suggests, Ultralip is the ultimate lip product since, according to the beauty brand, it gives the buildable color of a lip tint, the sheen of a gloss, and the moisture of a balm.
It's available in nine shades that range from sheer to saturated and all of them are formulated with meadowfoam seed oil, watermelon seed oil, and 4HA, which is a unique blend of four different molecular weights of hyaluronic acid exclusive to Glossier. All in all, that makes this product fall under the ideal intersection between makeup and skincare.
