You can shop everything from the Lancôme x Proenza Schouler collab now on lancome.com. They mostly contain the same base of dated ingredients, each featuring a unique “revolutionary” ingredient that gives it some unique properties. In truth, many of these ingredients are not revolutionary at all.
We totally understand finding that ideal gift that they’ll actually use and appreciate is a challenge, especially when they don’t even know what they want. We rounded up the best gifts on the market that will make him feel extra special this genifique holiday season. Macy’s sales are always worth checking out, but you might not think of Macy’s immediately when it comes to beauty deals. The 10-day sale features big brands you wouldn’t usually see discounted, like Elemis and bareMinerals.
The matte selection is limited, but anyone searching for a nice shine will find some beautiful colors in this collection. The Tonique Confort Toner is designed to rehydrate skin in as little as 15 minutes. It offers an alcohol-free forum with a smoothly and silky texture that works to cleanse the skin and reveal its inner glow. The formula, which can be used on all skin types, includes soothing and moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, acacia honey, and sweet almond oil. Between layers of mascara, liner, and multiple shadows, eye makeup is the most difficult to take off. Lancôme’s just-shy-of-a-five-star remover is an award-winning, bi-phase formula that conditions the eye area as well as stripping away all product.
On top of that, the high alcohol content, which you can actually smell, actually promotes aging. The fragrances in the product can also cause free radical damage and irritation. The three major ones are the volumizing mascara, waterproof mascara, and the lengthening mascara. All in all they do their job quite well; they apply evenly, last all day, and separate the lashes into an elegant look. They may be a little clumpy initially, although it’s nothing a proper lash comb can’t fix.
Regardless of whether you have oily or dry skin, your skin can be dehydrated and benefit from this ingredient. Apply the serum after washing your face and before moisturizing in the morning, night or both. The highlighter included in the collection, which comes in a cushion compact, also pays homage to past runway shows. “When you think of Proenza Schouler makeup on the runway and what not, it’s very much about perfect, flawless skin and a shot of color like a lip or an eye,” Hernandez says. “Whatever it is, the foundation is always perfect skin.” McCollough adds that the highlighter helps you achieve just that, complete with a dewy finish and a hint of shimmer. Like Arizona, the makeup collection allows more people to have a bit of Proenza Schouler in lives.
McCollough and Hernandez followed what they know — like art, their runway shows, and places — when coming up with the 23-piece collection. With its eye shadow palettes, a liquid highlighter, kajal eyeliners, lipsticks, and an eggplant mascara, it’s a colorful follow-up to their first-ever fragrance Arizona, which launched in January. “That was very much an out-west kind of world, and we wanted to take this back to a very kind of New York moment,” Hernandez explains. “We were really influenced by that color block,” Hernandez adds. “We weren’t quite sure what kind of shapes we wanted to use in that formal element.” Enter the iconic rose from Lancôme’s logo.
