Top 100 Cosmetics Trends in September

From Moisture-Infused Face Tints to Balancing CBD Skincare

The top September 2021 cosmetics ideas reveal innovations in sustainable packaging, makeup-skincare hybrids and the influence from the field of epigenetics.

With increased mask-wearing, many beauty lovers have opted to tone down their use of makeup and invest more in skincare (or color cosmetics with skin-caring benefits.) The newest wave of beauty products are packed with soothing and calming properties, plus ultra-moisturizing benefits, as seen in ultra-hydrating face tints and cream-infused skincare masks.

The science of epigenetics is revolutionizing the world of skincare thanks to cutting-edge formulas that are not only effective for controlling signs of visible aging but also potentially reversing it. While Craith Lab's innovative formulas consider how DNA and RNA react to various lifestyle factors, Biologique Recherche's La Grande Creme is touted as the ultimate regeneration treatment.
