Closing Out August With New Beauty Launches From Dior, Valentino Beauty and More!

Contents

August may be winding down, but the beauty world clearly has no plans to clock out early. This week’s best launches are giving us plenty to play with as we make the inevitable transition from summer beauty to fall, from soft-focus complexions and the return of a much more comfortable matte lip to glossy hair, nostalgic fragrances and even hand soap chic enough to deserve prime bathroom real estate. Consider this the last beauty haul of August and a very good preview of what’s coming next.

Dior

If your makeup is going to be photographed, it might as well know how to act in front of the camera. Dior is expanding its Forever complexion family with three new backstage-inspired essentials designed to prep, perfect and set the skin. Inspired by Peter Philips’ work behind the scenes at runway shows, photo shoots and red carpets, the new Forever Skin Veil and Forever Velvet Veil primers offer two approaches to a flawless base: luminous and glowy or softly blurred and matte. Both feature 4-in-1 formulas meant to refine the look of skin before foundation even enters the chat. Then there’s Forever On Set Powder, a translucent setting powder that blurs and locks everything into place without masking the skin underneath. Paired with Dior’s Forever Skin Glow or Forever Skin Wear foundations, the result is less filter, more really good skin, whether there’s a high-definition camera around or not.
