Create a flawless base for your makeup with these skincare products

Review: Erborian Doudoune for Lips
Created to repair and soothe simultaneously, Erborian Doudoune for Lips ($29) is the perfect rich melting balm to keep your lips moisturised.
True to what its description claims, the balm did not have to be re-applied often when I used it. With just a single application, my chapped lips felt nou-rished and smooth to the touch, allowing my lipstick to glide on easily after.
Its handy size also makes it convenient enough for travelling as well as for touch-ing up on the go.
Available at Sephora from Apr 14.
Review: This Works Light Time Open Eyes
This Works Light Time Open Eyes ($52) is a glide-on formula infused with vitamin-rich algae that is dedicated to brightening, tightening and refreshing your eyes. In particular, I liked the inclusion of a metal applicator, which could be used to massage the product around my eyes.
The metal nib provided an enjoyable cooling effect and while there were no noticeable changes overnight, the product relieved my puffy eyes after a few days of usage.
Available at Sephora from May.
Review: First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Hydrating Serum
The First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Hydrating Serum ($62), packed with key ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and colloidal oatmeal, promises to provide hydration to all skin types and to improve the overall appearance of
your complexion.
This product left my combination skin feeling softer instantly and its lightweight texture, though moisturising, did not leave a greasy residue. The price may be a little steep, but it is certainly worth every cent.
Available at Sephora from Mar 17.
