Ring in the Year of the Ox with these skincare, makeup and fragrance bestsellers, reinvented for the Lunar New Year
Additional reporting by Andrea Saadan.
Beauty launches that take place around Chinese New Year are especially popular because brands will normally refresh the look of their most popular products in limited quantities—almost as if their babies are getting a new wardrobe for the Lunar New Year, just like its celebrants do. It’s also the best period to remind ourselves that as the new year begins, it’s important to take time out for self-care, be it exploring new fragrances and makeup as well as re-calibrating our skincare routine (say goodbye to maskne!).
Here are some of the best Chinese New Year 2021 special releases to look out for by your favourite beauty brands.
