2024 has been a great year for new and reimagined beauty products. We have tried and tested as many products as we could, here are a few of our favourites released this year.

Make-up

Huda Beauty is on fire this year, with each release a work of art. The blush collection offers a range of five inclusive colours to match every skin tone. Blendable and easy to build on, these colours are what you make them.

Love an all-in-one product and this Smashbox offering raises the bar. The pigment of each product means you only need a touch to make a difference but can build up if you really want to make a statement. Smooth and long-lasting, the cream-like powder palette is a must-try.

Dior who? Fenty’s lip oil offering is glossy, not sticky and moisturises lips, leaving them feeling plump and hydrated. A slight hint of colour, this one is complimentary over lipstick and on its own.

Skincare

Thick but not greasy, this sweet-smelling moisturiser leaves skin feeling nourished and happy. A new go-to day cream.

The leaders in pore products have done it again with this exciting new trio. Hydro Pro is a great pore-reducing toner for day and night, Wow Polish leaves skin feeling smooth and fresh, while Shrink Wrap is tingly and hard-working. My pores look reduced after just a few weeks of using these products. Highly recommended.

Lightweight and soothing, The Potion, does work like magic by improving the look of skin texture, reducing redness and leaving it feeling soft and hydrated.

Hair

The Amika treatment adds just one extra minute to your in-shower wash routine but leaves hair feeling silky, smooth and frizz-free.

Perfect for when you don’t want to use an exfoliating shampoo on your whole scalp but have a stubborn dry patch. The serum relieves itching and doesn’t leave hair oily. Recommended, especially during a Canberra winter.

An easy spray that provides a height boost without leaving hair feeling brittle or crunchy. Hold lasts the whole day.
