Class of 2021: The JONES Beauty Awards

CHANEL Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Parfum Spray was inspired by Gabrielle Chanel’s bold personality. The olfactory incarnation of an independent thinker, it has notes of patchouli, vetiver, rose and jasmine.

Dior Addict Lip Glow is your lips, made better. This moisturising balm gives a natural flush of pink as it reacts to the wearer’s skin tone with its colour-reviver technology.

Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair is an industry favourite. Beauty editors have praised it as a Holy Grail product, and a reformulation seven years in the making has solidified its cult status. 

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation promises a flawless glow. “Super creamy, rich in colour and easy to blend, this iconic foundation has been a staple in my kit for 21 years. It allows skin to look like skin but more expensive,” shares Stanislaus.

Take care of your lashes with Dior Diorshow Maximizer 3D. Warne Shadbolt sings its praises; “It makes my lashes look longer and fuller with a dramatic curl. I love that it maintains the health of my lashes, too.”

Hermès orange summons instant elegance, and the brand’s Rouge Hermès Satin Lipstick doesn’t disappoint. “The rich pigment delivers vibrant, long-lasting colour while leaving lips feeling supple and conditioned,” says Pendleton.

A Chant for the Nymph Eau de Parfum from The Alchemist’s Garden collection by Gucci is a treasure to behold. Cullen says: “Being made from natural plants and flowers, it’s more than just a pretty bottle for the dressing table.”

Seaburn puts it simply when it comes to Tom Ford Ombré Leather: “Hard to resist a man with this scent. Let’s leave it at that!”

Lee calls it “springtime in a candle”, and we’d have to agree: Carrière Frères Tomato Candle offers an instant mood boost.

La Prairie Skin Caviar Liquid Lift is worth its weight in gold. According to Seaburn, “This product is lush. The science behind caviar as an ingredient is wonderful, helping to firm the skin”. The ultimate skincare indulgence, this one’s an investment for the true beauty devotees. 

A brand signature, SK-II Facial Treatment Essence isn’t shy of the spotlight. This self-proclaimed miracle water works to smooth and soften texture, brighten lacklustre skin and rehydrate the complexion. A loyal fan for more than a decade, Pendleton says: “It’s the one skincare product every woman needs”.

Giorgio Armani Crema Nera Reviving Volcanic Black Gel Mask is the obvious choice for an at-home spa experience. Working to clean and clear the skin, this mask reveals a radiant complexion in 10 minutes. 

Described as being the failsafe, ‘just enough’ of make-up products to make you feel done up but never overly so, the Screen Time Saviour award goes to… Dior Addict Lip Glow. “A quick slick in your phone reflection is all you need for instant polish,” says Cullen.

We know how important wearing sunscreen is but finding the right formula isn’t always easy. Enter Edible Beauty Basking Beauty Natural Sunscreen SPF 50. Broad spectrum and ocean friendly, it offers hydrating and collagen-boosting botanical actives to nourish your skin while staying safe in the sun.

Dermalogica Neck Fit Contour Serum reminds us that skincare shouldn’t stop at the jaw. The roller application delivers all its goodness with ease, working to tighten skin, remove fine lines and protect from environmental aggressors. 

All women want glossy locks, and Oribe Gold Lust Repair & Restore Shampoo delivers. Offering a gentle clean, this shampoo balances the scalp and reinforces each strand.

Shadbolt is a big believer in beauty from within. Touting the benefits of The Beauty Chef Glow Inner Beauty Essential, she says: “This powder is packed full of everything your gut needs to thrive: prebiotics, probiotics, antioxidants and vitamins. And it tastes like a wild berry dream.”

With it’s Revitalizing Fortifying Serum, Hair Rituel by Sisley proves that good scalp health gives good hair. The intensive treatment works to build stronger and denser strands without leaving your hair greasy.

An eye cream that works to reverse signs of aging and prevent future damage sounds too good to be true, right? Wrong. La Mer The Eye Concentrate does just that. Fine lines appear smoother and dark circles faded, thanks to the brand’s signature Miracle Broth.

Blow Bar Co at David Jones’ Elizabeth Street flagship is the ultimate beauty pick-me-up. The salon has earned a cult following for its buoyant blow-outs with a side of champagne, but up-styles, make-up and lash appointments are also on the menu.
