Today, we will be sharing all about our new favorite makeup items that are worth checking out.

For those looking for a more practical option, the Matte version offers perfect coverage even with the lightest of applications. Covering pores & lines without being thick & cakey, this cushion is mask-proof and does not smudge once it has set. It also contains blue-light protection & is easily refillable. This super hot item is now on its way to being a best-seller!

ETUDE HOUSE

Hershey's Kisses Play Color Eyes Brush Kit

This iconic sweet collaboration was launched a few months back on Althea, but due to its popularity, we have restocked! Now available as a kit containing a brush for easy application, choose from 3 delectable combinations of mattes and shimmers. As our eyes are the focus of the face when wearing face masks, we recommend trying these eyeshadow palettes as the colours are versatile and workable for daily use.

INNISFREE
Simple Label Lip Color Balm

As most of us wear face masks when we're out and about, a lot of us may be more inclined to use a matte lipstick that does not smear.

Not only will they keep your lips feeling soft and nourished, they will also give an MLBB (my lip but better) look if you ever do take your mask off for a while.

Infused with murumuru butter, shea butter and meadowfoam seed oil, the new Simple Label Lip Color Balms from Innisfree give a dewy sheen with sheer pigmentation. Choose from two lovely shades:
