By mid-afternoon, your skin starts pushing back. Oil production spikes, hydration drops, and that fresh morning look begins to fade under the weight of air conditioning and screen glare. Skipping an afternoon refresh means letting your skin stay stressed. A quick, strategic intervention stops the oil-slick cycle, restores comfort, and brings back that effortless flow. A quick spritz of a hydrating mist or a light, oil-absorbing dab to give your skin a breather and protect your morning hard work.

For a while now, I’ve been searching for a fragrance&nbsp;with a balanced scent like this one. I appreciate its&nbsp;strength that doesn’t overpower. The woody and&nbsp;spice base is perfectly calibrated, complemented&nbsp;by the warmth of frankincense. The vanilla bean and&nbsp;cardamom are beautifully paired and uplift each other.&nbsp;— Syazil Abd Rahim, Associate Editor of L’OFFICIEL <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;opi=89978449&amp;url=https://malaysia.aesop.com/products/above-us-steorra-eau-de-parfum%3Fsrsltid%3DAfmBOoq7yjt9HvBUSA5Ix8_Ql7kKZFO2PjsKpp5AzolYN5e35mfjFpzs&amp;ved=2ahUKEwithLDF5IiWAxXOSGwGHdWALbYQFnoECCIQAQ&amp;usg=AOvVaw2irCpEbYto2yLMBKXdlJDz">SHOP NOW</a>

Above Us, Steorra Eau de Parfum AESOP

While I find the casing a bit tricky to open for&nbsp;someone with longer nails like me, I absolutely&nbsp;love this product. It sets my makeup beautifully&nbsp;and even has a slight colour-correcting effect. The&nbsp;best part is it’s versatile. You can use it for both a&nbsp;light and a full makeup look. — Alyssa Patamakanthin, Model &amp; Digital&nbsp;Content Creator <a href="https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=L&amp;ai=DChsSEwi30-Hw5IiWAxUa0DwCHTylAMcYACICCAEQNhoCc2Y&amp;co=1&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwm8bTBhDWARIsAC9Hi8nfqTlA5fz4CI9qBgGb0cgMe_WWeagaFgIRhcBnUrFaji15o_seYGwaAnVDEALw_wcB&amp;cid=CAASWuRoPI9_9ioJyA5GZoBwSsybTozGjEqcmxedr4Xomxq5S5JBjY5vgD9EL1yz6dZye9nWs3JQ3SmJLtfFPlFV9PsXAeLxyoWi7YmxHKypkaguyj9tMmTZzPw59Q&amp;cce=1&amp;sig=AOD64_1eNsPlt7PBfWgWTtvFEYHXlgEd5w&amp;q&amp;adurl&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjk_Nnw5IiWAxVmcGwGHcMOLZgQ0Qx6BAgTEAE">SHOP NOW</a>

Cloud Set Baked Setting & Smoothing Powder KOSAS

If you are looking for a heavy-duty lip medicine for dry, flaking lips, I’d say the original La Mer pot would&nbsp;be a better option. However, if you want an elegant, everyday luxury lip tint that adds a pretty flush of colour&nbsp;and light hydration, you will love this so much. And I do.&nbsp;— Syazil Abd Rahim, Associate Editor of L’OFFICIEL <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;opi=89978449&amp;url=https://www.sephora.my/products/la-mer-the-lip-treatment%3Fsrsltid%3DAfmBOoqF2LmqheXGFT3vGkBBvecGehDkoOvPsqSwV2_bGRq-5dkmOzk2&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiL-ceI5YiWAxWUd2wGHdg5A-YQFnoECB4QAQ&amp;usg=AOvVaw1ySoPKDfUprfOC6PseGcaz">SHOP NOW</a>

The Lip Treatment LA MER

This is the first time I’m trying out this product, and I like it a lot. It’s so convenient as it can be used for&nbsp;both the lips and cheeks. It’s highly pigmented, and&nbsp;you only need a small dab on your finger, and you can&nbsp;get complete coverage on your cheeks. Sometimes,&nbsp;I just use the remaining dab on my finger on my lips.&nbsp;— Sahir Sabri, Celebrity Makeup Artist <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;opi=89978449&amp;url=https://fentybeauty.com/en-my/products/shake-n-play-buildable-liquid-blush-violet-vice&amp;ved=2ahUKEwi36s2x5YiWAxWcTmwGHSrdC_AQFnoECCUQAQ&amp;usg=AOvVaw3DQjMZNZIuEY7Tu1FBHQ3-">SHOP NOW</a>

Shake 'N Play Buildable Liquid Blush FENTY BEUATY

The formula and shimmer quality are genuinely impressive. It’s perfect for special occasions&nbsp;or evening looks where you want a noticeable&nbsp;luminous shimmer.&nbsp;— Vanizha Vasanthanathan, Model <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;opi=89978449&amp;url=https://www.sephora.my/products/laura-mercier-blush-color-infusion-duo%3Fsrsltid%3DAfmBOoq4Jj7J67JpYFs8K6u9aXleJUYNtd47SfEYPrIvTgHJhkbW4MhC&amp;ved=2ahUKEwj9w53N5YiWAxVyUGwGHWYfApgQFnoECCMQAQ&amp;usg=AOvVaw370Z3uNXVqrnpob18McH2V">SHOP NOW</a>

Blush Colour Infusion Duo LAURA MERCIER

I absolutely love this! It’s incredibly lightweight yet hydrating for my skin. I also appreciate the&nbsp;great ingredients like rice lipids, which are very&nbsp;beneficial for maintaining a healthy skin barrier. I&nbsp;use it with a hydrating toner while my skin is still&nbsp;slightly damp. This locks in moisture and enhances&nbsp;the overall hydrating effect. I then layer the product,&nbsp;sometimes twice for an extra boost of hydration.&nbsp;— Clarisse Leong, Co-founder of Cliff Max <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;opi=89978449&amp;url=https://www.sephora.my/products/the-ordinary-rice-lipids-plus-ectoin-microemulsion%3Fsrsltid%3DAfmBOopm2sZ8xTnQozmEs8GfpmSuQmkmH-BSYL5byF1Kb3ruHi9egpXh&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjH2IXw5YiWAxWPR2wGHbxwJUgQFnoECBkQAQ&amp;usg=AOvVaw1cqDpe-80VknycLwazg7Im">SHOP NOW</a>
