Every beauty step now comes with a skincare benefit, for visible results on the outside and deep action on the inside. Let's take a closer look at these clever products that pamper the skin as well as enhance it.
HOURGLASS – Illusion Priming Moisturizer foundation, €71
The first essential step in complexion makeup is the primer. This version from Hourglass stands out for its melt-in texture and its skincare action. Moisturizing, smoothing, and radiance-boosting, it contains a powerful cocktail of ingredients: plant-based squalane, niacinamide, Damask rose water, and 11 forms of hyaluronic acid. The result: more supple skin, an instant glow... and makeup that stays put.
CLARINS – Skin Illusion Tinted Moisturizer SPF25, Available in 11 shades, 40 ml, €44
The brand's latest innovation, endorsed by actress Camille Lou, this new-generation tinted moisturizer ticks all the boxes for a radiant complexion without any heavy feel.
Both moisturizing and protective, it refines skin texture, reduces fine lines, and boosts radiance from the very first application. Its secret: a formula enriched with hyaluronic acid, organic kiwi extract, and oat sugars. As a bonus, it contains SPF 25 and an anti-pollution complex, for those who live life in the fast lane.
ILIA – Limitless Lash Mascara, 8 g, €33
At Ilia, mascara opens up the eyes but also cares for each individual lash. Available in brown for a softer effect that is just as structuring as black, the brand's best-seller perfectly illustrates the philosophy of this clean brand launched at Sephora in 2022. Inside the tube: organic beeswax, carnauba wax, nourishing shea butter, and fortifying arginine, a cocktail designed to coat, strengthen, and soften lashes with each application.
GUERLAIN –Natural Healthy Glow Powder, €57
The most famous of the healthy glow powders combines makeup and skincare in a formula with 96% natural ingredients. Enriched with Moroccan euphorbia honey, known for its moisturizing and soothing properties, it keeps skin comfortable all day long.
In terms of color, Flower Blossom combines rosy blush, luminous coral, and the warmth of subtle terracotta for a naturally warmed complexion, without ever turning orange.
GIVENCHY – Prisme Libre Glow Serum Foundation. Available in 30 shades, 30 ml, €59
Halfway between foundation and skincare, Prisme Libre blurs and illuminates the surface while strengthening the skin day after day. At the heart of its formula: micro-hyaluronic acid, up to 15 times smaller, for deep and continuous hydration, as well as yuzu extract enriched with ceramides to smooth and plump.
DIOR BEAUTÉ – Dior Forever Glow Luminizer. Available in 4 shades, €59
With Forever Glow Luminizer, Dior has created a skincare highlighter that combines makeup and efficacy. Enriched with hyaluronic acid, it doesn't just illuminate: it moisturizes, plumps, and enhances the contours of the face without overloading it. We also love its gel-powder texture, which blends into the skin and captures light with precision for a long-lasting, radiant finish.
HERMÈS – Rouge Brillant Silky. Available in 14 shades, 3 g, €71
The latest addition to the Hermès beauty line, Brillant Silky reinvents lipstick as a haute couture skincare product. Behind its glossy finish and adjustable intensity lies an ultra-technical formula: up to 85% natural ingredients, combining plant oils, plumping raspberry leaf extract, softening sesame seeds, nourishing Abyssinian oil, and white mulberry for long-lasting comfort.
SISLEY – Phyto-Blush Twist. Available in 6 shades, €62.50
One swipe of the stick and you're done: this cream blush by Sisley melts into the skin, transforming into a velvety powder finish and awakening the cheekbones in two seconds flat. And behind the healthy glow effect is a genuine skincare formula: nourishing shea oil, softening camellia, antioxidant vitamin E derivative... Everything you need to moisturize, protect, and enhance without suffocating your skin.
