Menard: Embellir Makeup Base and Anti-Ageing Lipstick

Who says makeup and beauty care have to be separate? Menard’s Embellir skincare and makeup line lets you get your beauty basics right without skimping on nourishing, anti-ageing power. If you’re looking for a natural makeup look, two new releases from this exclusive Japanese line might be right for you: Embellir Makeup Base, a water based product that allows foundation and loose powder to blend flawlessly into your skin; and Anti-Ageing Lipstick, a creamy, moisturising lipstick that comes in two shades and contains “3D oil” to plump up your lips, in addition to a natural-looking colour pop. Menard products utilise the active ingredients of red and black Reishi mushrooms, skincare technology developed by the Menard Research & Development Laboratories. Designed purify the skin and prevent wrinkles, the before and after effect of Menard’s skincare line (pictured) is obvious when used in tandem with their multi-step cleansing method.

By Terry: Expert 2017 Collection

Inspired by savvy insta-photography, makeup guru Terry de Gunzburg decided to create a ready-to-wear version of makeup for self-styled, high-flying stars of the social media world. The Expert 2017 Collection features a blend of mineral powders and micro-camouflage pigments that blot out imperfections, reduce unwanted shine and smoothen skin texture for a real life “beauty filter” effect. The idea, according to de Gunzburg, was to create a premium makeup line that didn’t require additional beauty expertise. Check out the full collection available in Malaysia at Ken’s Apothecary outlets. www.kensapothecary.com.my
