Top 100 Cosmetics Trends in September

From Luxury Skincare Brands to Luxurious Silky Lipsticks

— September 30, 2023 — Fashion
From visually appealing packaging to high-quality ingredients, the September 2023 cosmetics round-up boasts various new products that balance aesthetics with functionality.

On the more cost-effective side, products such as e.l.f. SKIN's Suntouchable! Whoa Glow SPF 30 makeup primer and e.l.f. Cosmetics' Lightweight Liquid Primer stand out. In the semi-affordable range, Shiseido Waso's brand-new Calmellia Multi Relief SOS Balm. Promising to deliver hydration relief for dry skin, this versatile multipurpose balm boasts a treasured Japanese miracle ingredient—Calmellia Oil.

For luxury beauty enthusiasts, the September 2023 cosmetics round-up calls attention to U Beauty's plumping PLASMA Lip Compound—which has been released in four new shades, clé de peau's artist-designed and limited-edition packaging for the Hydro-Softening Lotion and the Correcting Cream Veil, as well as various tech-driven products like Seungeop Lim's new-age LED mask.
