Prepare yourself for the year of the Tiger with Gucci Beauty and its #GucciBeautyWishes campaign. 

Gucci Beauty’s limited-edition Rouge à Lèvres Voile collection is a trio of newly designed red lipsticks, which celebrates the Lunar New Year and pays homage to the colour of prosperity. The limited-edition shade designed exclusively for the season is the 520 Marina Scarlet, a festive red with rich orange undertones. A sheer lipstick with a luminous finish, the lipstick comes in a porcelain effect ivory lacquered tube with a vintage-inspired design with blue roses and is finished with a gold-ribbed metal bottom.

Not only that, Gucci Beauty has an on-the-go cushion foundation, the Gucci Beauty Cushion De Beauté. The cushion has a hydrating formula with a luminous finish and is available in six shades. Packaged in a round, pastel pink compact complete with a mirror and soft cushion applicator, the foundation is also refillable, allowing you to continue using the compact.

The limited-edition Rouge à Lèvres Voile collection and Gucci Cushion De Beauté is available online.

Launched just in time for Chinese New Year, Dolce & Gabbana has dropped the Sheerlips — its first-ever hydrating and luminous lip care product. Sheerlips is a tinted lip balm with four shades inspired by vibrant flowers and crafted with the perfect delicacy to replicate the subtle transparency and sheer colours of flowers. 

The Sheerlips collection offers hydration and all-day comfort. It is enriched with sunflower seed wax to create a balmy, moisturising texture. As mentioned earlier it comes in four shades: Sweet Lily, Spring Peony, Lovely Tulip, and Joyful Sunflower. 

The Dolce & Gabbana Sheerlips is available on its website.

To celebrate Chinese New Year, Charlotte Tilbury is introducing a limited-edition collection specially made for this festive occasion. The collection includes its well-loved and iconic Airbrush Flawless Finish powder and three new Lucky Hot Lips lipsticks created in collaboration with three Asian celebrities, perfectly apt for the Lunar New Year.

The three new Lucky Hot Lips shades were created in collaboration with Han So Hee, Tang Wei, and Turbo Liu. The three shades are different hues of red, a lucky colour in Chinese culture and all three are universally-flattering shades.

Touted as the number one luxury pressed powder in the UK, Charlotte’s much-loved Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder is magic in a compact. It is described as a complexion-enhancing, micro-fine powder that smooths, blurs and softens the appearance of fine lines and pores for flawless airbrushed looking skin.

The hydrating formula glides onto the skin like silk and is perfect for on-the-go touch-ups and is now in an exclusive Lucky Red Tiger Print packaging — perfect as a gift to a loved one, or just as a cute collectable. 

The limited-edition collections are available in-stores and online.
