Prettiest and luckiest beauty picks for the Year of the Dragon 2024
They deserve a spot in your CNY shopping cart.
The beauty world comes alive with a burst of colour and creativity as we usher in the Year of the Dragon, bringing joy and renewal straight to the vanity. From skincare to makeup, there’s no lack of dazzling red and gold for good luck and statement-making looks, but for those feeling something understated, this year’s got you too!
If you’re planning to replenish your favourites, you’re in for a treat. Brands like Sulwhasoo, Estée Lauder, fresh and Dr. Dennis Gross are ringing in this Chinese New Year by dressing up their star products in dragon-inspired designs. These limited-edition launches not only promise the formula you are already in love with but also add a touch of festive flair to your everyday self-care.
You will also find an array of curated sets that are perfect for both treating yourself and spoiling your loved ones. The SK-II x Maison Kitsuné Collaboration is back in dreamy cherry blossom pink just in time for Spring, unbox it to discover four iconic PITERA-powered products designed to achieve that glass skin. And if you’re up for some luck and charm, don’t miss Chuck’s Lucky Lunar Set, featuring Lucky Lip Jelly in Peach, Chuck It Kale Mask and some limited-edition merch to get you in the festive spirit.
Let’s talk about turning up the warmth and glow! We are switching out those everyday neutrals for warmer hues that radiate the vibrant spirit of Chinese New Year.
NARS’ St Paul De Vence Quad Eyeshadow Palette and Laura Mercier's Blush Color Infusion arrive in wearable shades that can be worn alone or layered for an extra pop. The highlighters by Clinique and Anastasia Beverly Hills bring a multi-dimensional glow to your look, their buildable formulas allow you to effortlessly dial up the glow from subtle to intense.
And, of course, no CNY look is complete without a red lip. Whether you're feeling classic rouge or rosy red, matte or creamy, this year's line up from MAC Cosmetics, Shu Uemura, Lancôme and Dior Beauty has something for every mood.
