Everything we’re eyeing in luxury beauty this month

Beauty brands are having a lot of fun this year, bringing a fresh wave of launches that push the envelope a little further, every month. Honestly, so am I. From d’you unveiling a new retinoid-forward innovation after nearly 500 days to Burberry Makeup officially making its India debut, the luxury beauty world has been booming. Here’s everything you need to know!

Burberry Makeup makes its India debut 

Burberry Beauty has officially launched Burberry Makeup in India, introducing the House’s coveted range of complexion, lip, and eye essentials to Indian consumers for the first time. Leading the collection is the Beyond Wear range, inspired by Burberry’s iconic trench coat and designed to provide long-lasting, breathable wear with weather protection. The lineup includes the Beyond Wear Perfecting Matte Foundation, the Outdoor Blush, the Brit Shine Lipstick, and the Eye Quads, featuring four complementary matte, satin, and shimmer shades drawn from Burberry’s signature colour palette.

Louis Vuitton x Alex Israel Woody Wagon Cologne 

Louis Vuitton and Alex Israel have joined forces to launch the Colognes Woody Wagon, a limited edition piece of 66 as a nod to the legendary Route 66 and containing the six Colognes Perfumes of the collection. An icon of Californian culture, instantly recognizable for its wood paneling, the Woody Wagon has long occupied a unique place in the mythology of the American West. Conceived by Master Perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, the six Colognes Perfumes contained within the Woody Wagon evoke a series of sensory stopovers – a tribute to the vast, inspiring West Coast landscape.

d’you launches Embrace 

d’you has launched Embrace, the brand’s first retinoid product that’s built around the philosophy of pro-aging –  the idea that aging is not a flaw to be corrected, but a privilege to be lived fully. At the centre of embrace is a dual-retinoid system designed to work across two timelines. Retinaldehyde, one of the most potent over-the-counter forms of vitamin A, converts quickly and delivers visible, early renewal. Encapsulated retinyl propionate works more slowly, penetrating deeper into the skin and building sustained retinoid activity over weeks. 

“We didn’t want to make another campaign that tells women their lines are problems waiting to be fixed. Embrace isn’t about reversing time. It’s about supporting your skin through every year you’re lucky enough to get”, said Shamika, Founder and CEO of d’you.
