Les Beiges is the one make-up assortment I stay up for every year, with out fail. Whereas it’s not probably the most thrilling of make-up merchandise, it fits me – easy, primary, impartial.

Launched in 2016 (the place I attempted and reviewed it), after which quietly disappearing, solely be relaunched final yr in the midst of a pandemic when most individuals have been in lockdown and never leaving homes, ergo, not placing on make-up.
