Mother’s Day is just around the corner (Sunday 11 May, for the particularly time-pressed).

Whether it’s your mother’s time-honoured lipstick bullet, or the latest palette she’s complimented you on, a carefully chosen beauty gift is often a meaningful portal to self-care and boosted confidence.
With that in mind, allow yourself to be guided by Vogue Singapore’s selection of the most delightful, luxe new beauty products on the market to take note of. In the skincare department, there’s plenty of offerings—from Sulwhasoo’s latest launch, The Ultimate S Cream Rich, to a multipurpose Dior balm and Sisley sun care that’s ideal for any mother on the go. Then, consider the sublime pickings to adorn one’s body and face with, from the heady warmth of Chloé’s Cedrus Intense Eau de Parfum to the fail-proof vibrancy offered by Hourglass’ Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balm, in any shade.
