Luxury skincare and makeup both appear to be beasts, but if you know what to look for, they're well worth the cost. When you add Chanel lipstick or Giorgio Armani foundation to your collection, you'll see why sometimes spending more money on high-end cosmetics is worthwhile.
Naturally, high-end cosmetics are pricey, so you still want to make sure you're getting more than just the desired brand. Do not be concerned; we have you covered. Here are 9 high-end beauty companies that are well worth the investment, regardless of the items you select. Treat yourself now; you deserve it.
Dior
Before launching her namesake line in 2013, famous makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury began by working with almost every A-list actress and supermodel imaginable. She translates her skills into beautiful looks and simple-to-use tools that anybody can use to look like they just stepped out of the pages of a glossy magazine, inspired by the red carpet and runway looks for which she is renowned.
The Airbrush Flawless Finish and Matte Revolution Lipsticks, which give off bombshell Hollywood vibes while yet being current and simple to apply, are fan favourites. Because of its universally attractive nude tone, Pillow Talk (the lipstick known only by its shade name) has grown so popular that one tube is sold every two minutes.
This beauty range is the epitome of pure luxury since each product, from velvety nude lipsticks and matching liners to hundreds of sparkling eye palettes features colour-rich pigments that are long-lasting and always stunning.
Giorgio Armani
Allow us to introduce you to one of the most sought-after formulations out there if you've never heard of Armani's Luminous Silk Foundation. This is the brand's most recognisable product, luminous (it's in the name for a reason), and stunning.
Both celebrities and royals rely on it (Megan Markle and Kate Middleton are said to be fans). The foundations from Armani are amazing, says Diaz. It blends in so seamlessly and feels weightless against your skin that you may use your fingers without worrying about leaving any stains.
The Armani Eye Tints, in addition to the foundations, are a best-selling choice due to their rich colour payoff and smooth texture. You can apply it using the applicator to create a precise appearance by using it as a liner or a shadow.
Additionally, the compositions are made to feel weightless and like a second skin without ever drying out or settling into fine wrinkles.
Yves Saint Lauren
Touche Eclat Illuminating Pen. This liquid highlighter is the Beyoncé of skin illuminators (i.e., it's by far the best), earning praise from both beauty editors and cosmetic lovers (this one included).
This hybrid highlighter and concealer, which is favoured by celebrities like Zoe Kravitz, Meghan Markle, and Naomi Campbell, brightens dark circles, highlights the cheek and brow bones, and diffuses redness around the nose and lip area—everywhere you want the skin to look more radiant.
YSL's lip stains are very popular; they provide rich pigmentation with little to no fading, smearing, or transfer.
Givenchy
Givenchy Prisme Libre Loose Powder serves as a one-stop shop for all your makeup needs, including mattifying your face, illuminating your complexion, and long-lasting setting. This high-end cosmetics item is multifunctional!
This setting and finishing loose powder are packaged in a compact, four-sectioned box that is convenient to store in your purse and use for a quick dab-dab. The four distinct colours contained in this loose powder include two colour correctors and two radiant colours.
All of these powders can keep makeup in place and extend its wear. To fulfil the requirements of the unique skin tone, all four of them combine to create a powerful effect. The powder's vitamin E functions as an antioxidant to stop caking and settling into tiny wrinkles.
This translucent powder flawlessly matches every skin tone and appears to be your second layer of skin. It keeps your makeup in place while giving it a sheer matte finish and a weightless, natural sensation on your skin.
Laura Mercier
Use the Hydrating Primer from Laura Mercier Pure Canvas to properly rejuvenate your skin. To create a flawless cosmetic canvas, this light primer wakes up your face with a burst of moisture and deep nourishment. With the help of this primer, you can apply makeup to your skin with ease and have it stay on all day.
Use a moisturising and renewing primer to calm your skin so you can feel rested and energised all day. This primer stimulates and locks in hydration because it contains marine hydra botanicals, olive extract, and glycerin.
Chanel
In 1921, Chanel launched its best-selling perfume, Chanel No. 5, and since, the company has grown to become one of the most recognisable names in the cosmetics industry. Gabrielle Chanel was once recognised as much for her tweed jackets as she was for her custom-made crimson lips.
The brand's first lip colour collection was finally inspired by the shade's appeal and released in 1924; the rest, as they say, is history. Every Chanel beauty item, from lightweight foundations to velvety lipsticks, exudes elegance thanks to packaging that features the company's distinctive interlocking C logo.
Its lines, which combine rich colours and velvety textures, are designed for women who have mastered the art of styling—a thoughtfully placed brooch here, some pearl drop earrings there—and whose makeup embodies that sophisticated appearance.
Try the Rouge Coco Bloom lipstick (a tribute to Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel herself) or the Les Beiges eyeshadow palette, which features five sparkly neutral tones that are always très stylish, for makeup that is as classic as its ready-to-wear and bags.
Charlotte Tilbury
Before launching her namesake line in 2013, famous makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury began by working with almost every A-list actress and supermodel imaginable. She translates her skills into beautiful looks and simple-to-use tools that anybody can use to look like they just stepped out of the pages of a glossy magazine, inspired by the red carpet and runway looks for which she is renowned.
The Airbrush Flawless Finish and Matte Revolution Lipsticks, which give off bombshell Hollywood vibes while yet being current and simple to apply, are fan favourites. Because of its universally attractive nude tone, Pillow Talk (the lipstick known only by its shade name) has grown so popular that one tube is sold every two minutes.
This beauty range is the epitome of pure luxury since each product, from velvety nude lipsticks and matching liners to hundreds of sparkling eye palettes boasts colour-rich pigments that are long-lasting and always stunning.
Nars
NARS was established in 1994 by makeup artist and photographer François Nars to encourage women to play around with makeup. The company continues to uphold this aim by providing a range of cosmetics, including tinted moisturisers that provide a more subdued "no makeup makeup" appearance and blushes designed to give you a post-coitus glow.
It should also come as no surprise given that this line began with a collection of only 12 lipsticks but its lip products are still among the most sought-after ones due to their potent pigments and long-lasting wear.
Whether you're a makeup pro or a beginner, NARS features a diverse selection of colours, products, and tools that are simple to apply whether you're searching for a dazzling creamy concealer, a flattering sweep of blush, or an iconic lipstick.
Hourglass
The elegant, simple, and futuristic appearance of Hourglass' items is a clear indication of the high calibre inside. The company, which was started in 2004 by seasoned businesswoman Carisa Janes, has made a name for itself as a cutting-edge, cruelty-free beauty line.
Its best-selling Veil Mineral Primer is highly sought-after for its capacity to hide redness, including rosacea, and level skin tone, as well as to reduce the appearance of visible pores and fine wrinkles. It provides a smooth, even surface for makeup to glide on effortlessly and may also be worn by itself to give off an appearance that is essentially the same as your skin, but better.
Due to its complexion-improving technology that blurs, smooths, and brightens skin, the cult-favourite Ambient Lighting Powder is another must in many makeup artists' kits.
It's challenging to choose a favourite from the great makeup options available. But leave it to one user to gush about how "Amazinggggg" the Veil Mineral Primer is. It makes my skin glow," as a point of reference. Without a doubt, we concur.
