1 Kose Infinity Royal Flower Collection V Compact Powder, $130.
This posh compact with rose and jewel motifs contains face powder formulated with damask rose essence and diamond dust to conceal pores, dullness and uneven skin tone.
2 RMK Christmas Makeup Palette 2016; part of the RMK Christmas Kit 2016, $123.
Designed by Spanish artist and fashion designer Idoia Montero, this pretty palette houses four eyeshadows – pink, brown, silver and blue – for an easy smoky eye and a watercolour painting-esque blusher for a cheeky glow.
3 SK-II Facial Treatment Essence; part of the SK-II Crystal Clear Skin Set, $259.
The bottle features a limited-edition design inspired by suminagashi, a traditional Japanese paper marbling technique. The art form’s creed is that there’s no wrong in each dot and swirl – a reminder to paint one’s own path. How poetic!
4 Shu Uemura x Takashi Murakami Anti/oxi+ Pollutant & Dullness Clarifying Cleansing Oil, $125.
We can’t get enough of contemporary Japanese artist Takashi Murakami’s super-kawaii flower prints. Washing the day off your face doesn’t seem as much of a chore with these joyful illustrations.
5 Laneige Milkyway Fantasy Water Sleeping Mask, $48.
The popular hydrating overnight mask gets a limited-edition upsize (100ml instead of the usual 70ml). Its blue jar sports a smattering of star- like sparkles this Christmas.
6 Kiehl’s x Jeremyville Ultra Facial Cream, $48.
The cult favourite, which provides 24-hour hydration for dry skin, gets a design update this holiday season by way of Brooklyn-based artist Jeremyville’s cheery drawings of snowmen.
7 L’Oreal Paris True Match Two-way Powder Foundation Packset, $34.90.
Featuring a “Night in Paris” design by fashion illustrator extraordinaire Grace Ciao, this compact houses a powder foundation with a lightweight, blendable texture that won’t cake or flake through the day.
8 Guerlain Meteorites Perles de Legende Light-revealing Pearls of Powder (price unavailable).
Designed by Russian model Natalia Vodianova, the blue-and-gold tin is reminiscent of Indian jewellery boxes. In it are meteorite beads in three hues: pink, for a rosy glow; blue, to correct an uneven skin tone; and gold, to highlight.
9 Innisfree Christmas Limited Edition My Cushion Case in (from top) Christmas Tree and Rudolph, $44 each; includes a refill and a puff.
If you’re a hardcore fan of the brand’s cushion cases (100 designs were launched earlier this year), you’ll want to get your hands on these Christmas-themed ones.
10 Cosme Decorte AQ MW Gradation Eye Shadow; part of the AQ MW Make Up Coffret, $100.
Its gorgeous embossed case will dress up any boudoir, and the gold, beige, brown and bronze eyeshadow shades are ultra-wearable, with a hint of shimmer to add sparkle to your Christmas outfit.
