By now you’ve probably abandoned your New Year’s resolutions. (Guilty.) Whether you planned on getting in a few extra workouts a week or getting organized, many, or rather most, of us tend to lose motivation by Valentine’s Day. But now’s your chance to recommit to those goals. That’s because today is the start of the Lunar New Year. Another reason to celebrate? Lunar New Year beauty products.
It’s the Year of the Ox and many of our favorite beauty brands are marking the occasion with some fancy packaging. If you’re a skin care junkie, you can choose from a lifting mask, an anti-pollution essence, a dark spot corrector or even a lactic acid treatment. Not to mention a celeb-loved moisturizer.
There are just as many options when it comes to makeup. ColourPop’s lipstick set is pure fire. BH Cosmetics’ 21 shadow-strong eyeshadow palette boasts both matte and shimmer shades. You can draw the perfect flick with NYX Professional Makeup’s epic eyeliner. Givenchy has you covered with its shine-reducing and imperfection-hiding powder. While Rihanna wants to get us glowing in 2021.
And for all the fragrance fanatics out there, you’re in luck. Maison Margiela and Atelier Cologne made their trademark scents even more appealing with collectible bottles.
Check out the slideshow above for the best Lunar New Year beauty products.
