The definition of influence, once restricted to a certain look and voice, has evolved to a new world–and so has beauty. Holding deeper and elevated meanings, this year we focus on the products that have changed the conversation–
from skincare that are now a form of mental care, to lipsticks and shadows that have created a reality where self-expression is at the core. This year’s winners are definitely worth adding to your basket.
