It’s not always easy to get back into the swing of things and resume the work rhythm after the summer holidays. So, to make this return smoother, we take some time for ourselves and indulge. How? By discovering a new skincare routine with concentrated active ingredients, indulging in a more autumnal fragrance, or splurging on a luxurious lipstick. Here are the must-see 2024 beauty launches you don’t want to miss.

Skincare that’s more minimalist than ever

You might think the cosmetics market is saturated with such a vast range of options. Yet, this hasn’t stopped young brands from launching in hopes of competing with industry giants. They stand out by offering minimalist skincare with short ingredient lists, perfectly balanced with effective active ingredients. And the success is real! Take PERS and Mimétique, two French labels that were launched in October 2023 and are already thriving. new beauty releases 

The most intuitive: PERS

Created by a doctor, PERS stands out for its commitment to simplifying skincare routines to the essentials. The routine consists of 4 steps: Protect in the morning, Enhance anytime during the day, Repair in the evening, and Stimulate the following evening (hence the name PERS). Repeated daily, this routine  restores the skin’s natural cycle and helps protect its integrity.

PERS offers six essential products: a 10% Vitamin C serum, SPF 50+ care, a healthy glow balm, a hydrating cream in rich or light formulas, and a concentrated retinol serum. Each product contains carefully dosed, renowned active ingredients, with highly effective formulas that provide the skin with only what it needs—nothing more, nothing less.

The most scientific: Mimétique

Behind Mimétique is a young chemist, Fabienne Sebaoun. Her philosophy? Mimic the skin to regenerate it. In other words, she sought to understand the skin’s natural biological mechanisms to develop products based on biomimicry. The brand has created the SMR-C5 complex, composed of five active ingredients naturally present in the skin, chosen for their ability to strengthen it and boost cellular regeneration. There is no overdosing of active ingredients here, as over-stimulation of the skin barrier can lead to irritation and exhaustion. Mimétique’s routine is also simple, featuring five essential products: a makeup-removing balm that soothes and nourishes, a hydrating cream that plumps and firms, a lifting and decongesting eye cream, a serum for smoother, brighter skin, and a face oil for nighttime use. new beauty releases

Only natural active ingredients that the skin truly needs are included, at optimal, effective concentrations. Bestsellers include the anti-wrinkle serum with biomembranes and hyaluronic acid, the body cellulite-correcting gel, and the SPF 50+ sunscreen. Tested and approved!

PERS and Mimétique products are available in France, online or at Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche in Paris.
Kuora products are available in Moroccan pharmacies.

Bold olfactory creations. NEW BEAUTY RELEASES
The most elegant: Barénia Eau de Parfum by Hermès
In the world of 2024 beauty launches, perfumery is not lagging behind. Hermès, in particular, is unveiling Barénia this September, a refined feminine cyprus  fragrance. It’s been several years since the brand launched a completely new olfactory creation, but it was worth the wait. Inspired by Barénia leather, an iconic material from Hermès, this composition by perfumer Christine Nagel celebrates cyprus,  one of the most beautiful ingredients  in perfumery. new beauty releases 

The fragrance opens with a citrus note brought by bergamot and miracle berry, a small red fruit from Ghana. At the heart of the scent, the softness of butterfly lily is enveloped by the woody, sensual notes of oak and patchouli, resulting in a bold yet delicate fragrance. The bottle design is inspired by Hermès’ iconic Collier de Chien bracelet.

Price: 1,656 MAD for a 100 ml bottle.
Available in selective perfumeries.

The most eclectic: Les Éternels collection by Balmain Beauté

Balmain Beauté has just launched its first collection of mixed niche perfumes this September. Entitled “Les Éternels,” it comprises eight references divided into four different olfactory families: musks, ambers, florals, and woods, each representing a distinct facet of the brand’s universe. This project has been a long time coming for Olivier Rousteing, Balmain’s artistic director, who has been working on it for two years. To prolong the summer, we recommend Vent Vert, a reinterpretation of the classic created by Pierre Balmain in 1947. Inspired by nature, this eau de parfum combines the zesty freshness of green mandarin with a sensual blooming jasmine. Basil, mint, and fig leaf notes enhance the fragrance’s green aspect, while the base settles into a woody finish, accented with a touch of blackcurrant.

Sel d’Ambre pays tribute to Africa and the shimmering nights of the desert with a radiant, sensual amber paired with the mineral and salty oceanic notes of gray amber.  We love the spicy, warm character of this fragrance, perfect as the weather cools. Finally, Carbone is the perfume that was most beloved by Olivier Rousteing’s close friends, including Beyoncé! A dark, musky fragrance infused with the softness of neo-absolute rose.

As for the design, the creator chose angular bottles to honor the brand’s first creations, while the round cap is inspired by Balmain’s 1970s Labyrinth motif.

Price: 500 euros for a 100 ml bottle (around 5,500 MAD).
Available on balmainbeauty.eu.

Designer makeup.    new beauty releases 
Celine launches its first cosmetics line

Earlier this year, luxury fashion brand Celine announced the upcoming launch of its makeup line. The first product, a lipstick from the “Rouge Celine” collection, debuted in early September at the brand’s store on Rue Saint-Honoré. Named “Triomphe,” in reference to Celine’s original logo, this bold red lipstick is encased in a cylindrical gold case adorned with the signature monogram.

In terms of formulation, it is composed of 89% natural ingredients, resulting in a soft and comfortable texture that coats the lips in vibrant color. A special mention goes to its scent, a blend of rose and rice powder, reminiscent of the house’s entire designer parfumerie collection. Available in mid-October on celine.com, the collection includes 15 different shades. The beauty line is expected to expand over time with products for the eyes (mascara, pencils, eyeliner), face (loose powders, blush), and nails. We can’t wait!

Just a few days left before your vacation starts! The destination is booked, your outfits, swimsuits, shoes, and accessories are already packed. All that’s left is to prepare your makeup bag. But there’s no need to overload it with too many products. As you know, we wear less makeup in the summer. Firstly, because it’s hot and it’s important to let your skin breathe (to avoid breakouts). But mostly because our lovely tanned complexion is enough on its own. So, we pack the essentials for a natural, radiant summer look: a mattifying foundation, waterproof mascara, and a bronzing powder. Let’s take a look. 

Phyto-teint Perfection Foundation, Sisley 

While we try to leave our skin bare during beach days, in the evening we can afford a touch of foundation, especially if we tend to sweat a lot and have excess sebum due to the heat. To remedy this, choose a mattifying but also hydrating fluid to nourish our skin which has been dried out by the sun. We love Sisley’s new Phyto-teint Perfection. Super lightweight, it nourishes, smooths, and evens out the skin texture.

Its ultra-long-lasting formula, transfer-free, provides a matte finish with a natural glow. It’s ideal for blurring pores and other imperfections. Moreover, its resistant texture doesn’t require touch-ups throughout the day. Perfect for a lasting summer makeup look! Be careful not to apply too much product as it is very covering. A pea-sized amount is enough.

Price: 1001 DH for a 30 ml bottle.
Available in: 29 shades.
Available at: Beauty Success or beautysuccess.co

Glow Powder L’Instant Doré, La Provençale Bio 

Launched in 2018 by the L’Oréal group, La Provençale Bio might not ring a bell. Yet, it has been buzzing on social media for a few months now, first for its certified organic skincare based on the virtues of olive oil, then for its complete line of makeup. All entirely natural! From complexion products to eye and lip makeup, there’s plenty to choose from. For a trendy summer look, we recommend the new Glow Powder L’Instant Doré. Enriched with organic olive oil and composed of 100% natural ingredients, this 3-in-1 powder includes a bronzer, a peach blush, and a pink highlighter.

It’s a versatile product that sculpts, enhances, and illuminates the complexion for an instant healthy glow. Special mention for its fine, lightweight texture that melts easily into the skin, and its beautifully pearly and iridescent finish.

Price: Around 180 DH for the palette.
Available at: laprovencale.bio

Self Tan Self-Tanning Drops, Clarins 

Here’s another product that is a summer favorite among trendy influencers. It is one of the brand’s best-sellers. Clarins’ Self Tan Self-Tanning Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster for the face provides a lovely tanned and radiant complexion effortlessly. It’s the perfect solution for those who don’t want to expose themselves to the sun. Its liquid format is convenient to use: just mix a few drops of self-tanner with your moisturizer. Composed of 99% natural ingredients, it offers a customizable result: 2 drops for a healthy glow, 3 drops for a more golden tan, to be repeated according to the desired intensity.

We warn you, the result is impressive! No need to overdo it. Remember to wash your hands after use. Last but not least, the aloe vera extract deeply hydrates the skin, offering a more even and longer-lasting tan.

Price: Around 350 DH for a 15 ml bottle.
Available at clarins.fr

Idôle Tint, Multi-Use Liquid Eyeshadow, Lancôme

Here’s another versatile product that is a must-have for our summer makeup. To enhance your gaze, there’s no need for heavy smoky eyes. Opt for lightweight, shimmery textures. We particularly love this liquid eyeshadow by Lancôme. Firstly, for its beveled applicator that allows for multiple uses: the flat side for applying the product all over the lid or the edge for drawing an eyeliner line. Secondly, for its ultra-pigmented and waterproof formula that offers 16-hour wear.

As you might have guessed, the product doesn’t crease on the lids. Lastly, Idôle Tint can also be used as a blush or highlighter. In short, a highly useful versatile product.

Price: 380 DH for a 7 ml bottle. Available in 7 shades.
Available at: Select perfumeries.

Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Mascara, Dior 

Now for mascara. Once again, choose a waterproof formula so you can spend the whole day, even go swimming, without ending up with panda eyes. Our favorite? Dior’s Diorshow Iconic Overcurl, which has been revamped this season. It is now refillable and its formula is enriched with cornflower floral water. As a result, lashes are nourished and strengthened day after day. Its curved brush offers unparalleled volume and curl. Lashes are perfectly fanned out, appearing longer, and the eyes look more open. Lastly, its waterproof formula provides intense, long-lasting color without smudging.

Price: 464 DH. Available in 3 shades (black, brown, and blue).
Available at: Select perfumeries.

KissKiss Bee Glow Tinted Lip Balm, Guerlain 

We finish our beauty routine with the lips. This season, Guerlain unveils KissKiss Bee Glow, a tinted lip balm infused with honey and composed of 98% natural ingredients. In addition to enhancing the natural color of the lips, it hydrates and regenerates them. Soothed, softened, nourished, and plumped, they become more beautiful and comfortable day after day. Special mention for its creamy, ultra-melting formula that glides on the lips and provides a shiny, non-sticky finish with a transparent effect. It’s available in 8 shades inspired by the color of flowers pollinated by bees.

Price: 486 DH.
Available at: Select perfumeries.

Bonus: Shimmering Multi-Use Oil, Avril 

What would summer makeup be without a touch of glow? To shine brightly in the evening, dare to use shimmering oil on your arms, legs, and neckline.  We recommend the one by Avril, the French organic cosmetics brand newly available in Morocco. Enriched with sweet almond oil, it deeply nourishes and softens the skin, highlighting our tan. We love its 100% natural fragrance with coconut and fig notes, which smells like vacation. Lastly, this multi-use oil can also be applied to hair for perfectly hydrated and enhanced locks.  Perfect!

Price: 150 DH for a 100 ml bottle.
Available at: Avril Casablanca store, avril.ma, or select perfumeries.

Just like in fashion, makeup trends evolve with the seasons. And often, they complement each other. If quiet luxury has been dominating our wardrobes for several months, the same goes for makeup in 2024. Indeed, minimalism is key. Looks are understated and luminous for a natural healthy glow effect. Whether it’s eyes, cheeks, or lips, lightweight textures with a glossy finish are in. Of course, nothing stops you from playing with color to enhance your first traces of tan, especially with pastel shades like coral, which are ultra-trendy right now. Take a look for yourself.

The Peach Makeup

 This is undoubtedly the main makeup trend of the 2024 season. Inspired directly by Peach Fuzz, Pantone’s color of the year, this beauty technique is a hit on social media. The idea: create a monochrome makeup in peach tones. Thus, the eyes, cheeks, and even the lips are adorned with a pretty orange hue. Feel free to play with different finishes (matte, iridescent, glow, etc..) and shades of peach to give more dimension to the makeup. If you still need convincing, remember  that this color enhances all skin tones,  and offers an immediate healthy glow effect.

The right products:

Diorshow 5 Couleurs Palette, Dior

Dior unveils its 2024 summer makeup collection, inspired by the colors of the Riviera. For the eyes, we find two variations of its iconic Diorshow 5 Couleurs palette: 933 Pastel Glow containing pastel shades and 333 Coral Flame, composed of sunny bronze tones. It’s this second product that we’re focusing on to recreate a Peach Makeup. It features a bright coral eyeshadow, a yellow leaning towards gold, and a gradient of 3 brown shades. We love their fine powder, incredibly comfortable, which doesn’t crease in the eyelid — even when it’s hot! 

Price: approximately 780 DH per palette.
Currently available only on www.dior.com and soon in Morocco.

Idôle Tint Multi-Use Liquid Eyeshadow, Lancôme

Here’s a newcomer that is likely to stay in your 2024 makeup bag for a while! Idôle Tint is one of those versatile  products that greatly simplify our lives. And for good reason:this liquid eyeshadow can be used on the eyes as well as on the cheeks. Its double-sided tip consists of a flat side to apply the product on the entire eyelid and cheeks. The edge, on the other hand, allows for precise eyeliner application along the lash line. So…one  product with three uses..

 But these are not its only qualities. Idôle Tint is available in 7 ultra-pigmented shades, matte or iridescent, and offers a 16-hour hold thanks to its waterproof formula. To recreate our Peach Makeup, we opt for the color 04 Sienna on the eyes and for Sand Storm (number 05) on the cheeks to warm up and illuminate our complexion.

Price: 381 DH per bottle.
Available in selective perfumeries.

 The Clean Look

As we mentioned in the intro, quiet luxury is THE trend. It’s also called soft beauty or doll beauty. Here, the concept is simple: achieve a subtly natural  look. To do this, we opt for a unified yet transparent complexion, slightly glossy lips, rosy cheeks, and eyes simply lined with a touch of mascara.

 The right products:

Prisme Libre Corrector, Givenchy

Givenchy’s first color corrector conceals imperfections, evens out the complexion, and moisturizes the skin thanks to its skincare base, formulated with 95% natural ingredients. Available in 3 colors, it addresses all concerns. The blue corrector brightens dull complexions and balances yellow undertones. The green one reduces redness, hides blemishes, and neutralizes brown spots. Finally, the peach shade corrects dark circles, smooths fine lines, and other imperfections.

 Depending on your needs, opt for one or several correctors to achieve a natural result without the need for foundation. Special mention for its fluid texture that instantly melds into the skin, leaving it unified, fresh, and luminous.

Price: 443 DH per tube.
Available in selective perfumeries.

Panorama Volume Millions de Cils Mascara, L’Oréal Paris

Next, we accentuate  the eyes with a volumizing mascara. A favorite is L’Oréal Paris’ new release. Panorama Volume Millions de Cils delivers, as its name suggests, panoramic volume. Its secret? A brush with different sizes of bristles that grip each lash, even the smallest ones, to coat them in intense black color. The result: elongated, volumized lashes, all without clumps, with an unbeatable quality-price.

Price: 160 DH per tube.
Available in supermarkets and perfumeries.

The Pearl Skin

 This spring-summer, the glowing complexion makes its grand comeback — but with some updates.  Gone are the days when we sought to give our skin a wet look. The 2024 makeup trend favors a silky finish for a complexion with luminous reflections akin to mother-of-pearl. For the  Pearl Skin beauty technique , start by evening out the skin with a fluid foundation or tinted moisturizer. Continue with highlighter in powder or cream form. And don’t hesitate to layer it on! Apply it to the cheeks, along the cheekbone, forehead, eyelids, and brow bone. The goal is to bring a pearly light to the entire face. Finish with a touch of gloss on the lips.

 The right products:

Terracotta Luminizer Illuminating Powder, Guerlain

The legendary Guerlain Terracotta is now available in illuminating powder form. Formulated with 96% natural ingredients, Terracotta Luminizer gives the skin a radiant glow, as if you’ve spent a day in the sun. A luminous finish made possible by its composition enriched with pearls and natural pigments. Its lightweight and airy texture applies like a delicate veil and merges with the skin –a  must-have for reproducing this 2024 beauty technique! 

Price: 622 DH per compact.

 Phyto-Lip Delight Lip Beautifying Care, Sisley

Much more than a simple gloss, Sisley’s Phyto-Lip Delight acts as a true lip care.

Its lightweight texture applies easily, leaving a subtle and comfortable glossy finish on the lips. Available in 3 soft shades: a nude, a pale pink, and a light coral.

Price: 471 DH per tube.
Available at Beauty Success or on beautysuccess.com.

 The Sculpting Blush

 If you were to splurge on just one makeup product in 2024, it would undoubtedly be blush. Blush plays a vital role this season. It can stand alone by being applied all over the face, from the hollows of the cheeks to the hairline, thus sculpting the features. It can also be added to the eyelids to accentuate that healthy glow effect. You have the choice between a subtle matte powder texture or a liquid version with an ultra-luminous glossy finish.

 The right products:

Cooling Water Jelly Tint, Milk Makeup

Known for its 2-in-1 blush for cheeks and lips, the American brand Milk Makeup now offers a jelly version. This is an innovative texture that continues to make waves on social media, especially since Cooling Water Jelly Tints landed exclusively at Sephora France in early March. Their secret?

 Following the excesses of the holiday season and lack of sleep, it’s not uncommon to exhibit some signs of fatigue. The first signs are often the appearance of bluish under-eye circles and more pronounced fine lines around the eye.. To combat these,  remains our best ally. However, finding a formula that meets all our criteria is essential. It must be opaque enough  to hide imperfections without settling into fine lines. It should be easy to blend, match our skin tone as closely as possible, and provide a luminous finish. Additionally, it must be enriched with care ingredients, known for moisturizing the eye area  and eliminating the dreaded panda eyes. We unveil our current must-haves.

Price: 220 MAD for a 326ml pot. Available in pharmacies or at Poppy Curly. 

Caroline’s 2023 Beauty Essential: La Roche-Posay’s Pure Niacinamide 10 Anti-Spot Treatment Serum

As a beauty editor, it’s difficult to pick just one product among my 2023 beauty favorites. But as someone prone to brown spots, I’d say that La Roche-Posay’s Pure Niacinamide 10 concentrated serum is a must-have. Formulated with 10% pure niacinamide, this treatment corrects hyperpigmentation and prevents new spots from forming. It’s also hydrating, thanks to natural high molecular weight hyaluronic acid, which remains on the skin’s surface to repair the protective barrier and plump the skin. The result is a clearer and more radiant complexion, with reduced redness and smoother skin texture, leaving a glowy finish. It’s very convenient when I don’t feel like wearing makeup. Hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, it’s suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin. I apply it every night before bed and remember to use SPF50+ sunscreen during the day. Lastly, I love its light and fresh scent, as well as its quickly absorbed gel texture. – Caroline Delajoux, Beauty Journalist.

Price: 330 MAD for a 30ml bottle. Available in pharmacies.

Loubna’s 2023 Beauty Essential: Daylong Extrême’s SPF50+ Liposomal Sunscreen Milk

Of course, sunscreen is an essential for summer. For our executive assistant, the choice is Daylong Extrême’s SPF50+ liposomal sunscreen milk from Galderma Laboratories. Particularly suitable for very fair or sun-intolerant and allergy-prone skin, it offers high and long-lasting protection. Its liposomal formula delivers sunscreens deep into the superficial layer of the skin. This sunscreen protects against UVA/UVB rays, cellular damage like pigmentation spots, and premature skin aging. Hydration is not neglected, as aloe vera and vitamin E are also among the ingredients. “With sensitive skin, it’s important for me to choose natural products. In addition to being highly protective, this sunscreen is very gentle on the skin. It’s hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, and paraben-free. I really like its non-greasy velvety texture that absorbs quickly and leaves no white marks or a sticky feeling. Another advantage is that it doesn’t sting the eyes, so it can be used on the body and face for the whole family.” – Loubna Kostas, Executive Assistant.

Price: 210 MAD for a 100ml tube. Available in pharmacies.
