Welcome to Face Value, Highsnobiety’s monthly guide to the best new beauty products and the brands behind them.
Our bathroom cabinets are due for a spring cleaning. As the weather warms up, say goodbye to heavy creams and fragrances and hello to all things light and fresh.
Consider Highsnobiety's favorite new beauty products a transitional wardrobe for your face. From Makeup by Mario's back-to-basics eyeshadow palette to Fara Homidi's portable, skin-perfecting compact, these are the March beauty buys worth adding to cart.
D.S. & Durga - Black Magenta
Inspired by a wild night out in New York City, D.S. & Durga's latest release is pure fun. With top notes of pineapple and black pepper, heart notes of orris and orange, and base notes of sandalwood and tobacco, the fragrance starts out as a fruity cocktail and dries down to a smooth, amber-y smoke show.
EADEM - Cashmere Peel
EADEM's first new product in over a year, Cashmere Peel is an exfoliating toner that unclogs pores, sweeps away dead skin cells, and fades dark spots — minus the irritation. Like all of EADEM's products, Cashmere Peel is formulated with melanin-rich skin in mind, so you can rest assured it won't inflame darker, hyperpigmentation-prone skin types.
Makeup By Mario - Master Mattes Eyeshadow Palette: The Neutrals
Makeup By Mario's new eyeshadow palette goes back to basics. 12 matte shades — ranging from beige to brown to blue-gray to black — are the building blocks of any makeup look, from subtly contoured to statement-making.
Fara Homidi - Essential Face Compact
Fara Homidi, makeup artist to the fashion stars, launched her own ultra-luxe beauty line last year. Her latest release is a palm-sized compact containing two products: a lightweight, cream foundation that conceals dark spots and neutralizes redness without feeling cake-y, and a luminous Shine Baume that subtly highlight the lips and face.
Herbar - Barrier Cream
Mushrooms aren't just for eating — they're also for putting on your skin. Harnessing the skin-nourishing power of fungi, Herbar's Barrier Cream is a daily moisturizer that hydrates, soothes, and helps prevent dark spots. To experience Herbar's 'shroom-packed products IRL, head to Highsnobiety's Berlin store.
