We list our favourite products that not only make your skin appear vibrant but healthy too

In 2022, you don’t have to choose between skincare and make-up anymore. You can swipe on a concealer, smooth on foundation or tap in a blush and trust that it has brightening, hydrating and anti-acne ingredients that’ll work for your skin—not against it. Here are some of our favourite picks.

O-Bloos Rosi Drops by Drunk ElephantShop here₹ 2,865If you’re looking for a warm watercolour-like flush on your cheeks (like you’ve gone for a long walk on a crisp, cool evening), this blush is perfect for you. It contains a mix of omega fatty acids that improve texture and suppleness, as well as a peptide blend that helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while promoting elasticity and resilience.
