Foundation Care: Our favourite three foundations to mask Autumn dryness

Perhaps the most essential beauty product of all – foundation – is the miracle liquid that most ladies need to even out their skin tones, mask blemishes and top off a natural look. With the options of beauty products seemingly never-ending, it can be difficult to narrow down which product is the right fit for you and your skin, but don’t fret – here at Gafencu we’ve carefully selected our three favourite foundations of the season, which provide 24-hour coverage, SPF protection and more!

With some help from natural honey extracts, Swiss-based Valmont is looking to make skin silky this season with its Teint Majestueux foundation. Functioning almost like a second skin, this supersmooth make-up restores brightness to the skin and delivers a wholly natural look.

Taking a more golden approach to skincare is Guerlain, the French cosmetics marque, with its new Parure Gold – Gold Radiance Foundation. Infused with 24K gold, the foundation promises to add a little light, while also offering SPF 30-PA+++ protection.

The Ultra Le Teint Flawless Finish Foundation from Chanel is now said to be the marque’s go-to product for flawless and long-wear foundation. With a 24-hour matte finish guaranteed, it’s also instilled with natural glycerin, leaving the skin soft and supple throughout the day

Bee beautiful: Valmont’s new skincare range uses precious substances from beehives

Swiss skincare brand, Valmont, has just launched a new collection under its L’Elixir des Glaciers range. Eponymously named Essence of Bees, the collection harnesses the natural goodness of beehives in a sustainable way.

Through a perfect blend of nature’s bounty and next-gen technology, the Essence of Bees complex combines a mixture of honey, propolis and royal jelly in oily form.

Each of the ingredients is renowned in its own right as a potent element for skincare and has even found mention in ancient Greek philosophy. While Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, waxed eloquent about the moisturising properties of honey, the famous philosopher Aristotle attributed skin-purifying qualities to propolis. And the most precious product from the hive, regenerating royal jelly, was considered to be an essential constituent of the mythical ‘ambrosia’, the liquor of immortality drunk by the gods of Olympus.

While Classical ‘ambrosia’ may have been a legend, Valmont’s researchers may just have discovered the ambrosia for skin through their three new offerings – Cure Majestueuse, Masque Majestueux and Sérum Majestueux Vos Yeux.
Beauty enthusiasts can lay their hands on the premium items at Valmont counters across Hong Kong, including Lane Crawford, Harvey Nichols and SOGO.
