The best beauty products of the month, according to Wallpaper*, includes eight new launches by a roster of brands. Below, find Prada's latest mascara, used by lead make-up artist Lynsey Alexander in the runway look for the house’s A/W 2025 show on Wednesday this week (26 February 2025).
Plus, Westman Atelier’s bronzing drops, formulated by Gucci Westman. The American make-up artist has recently worked with Anthony Vaccarello and David Sims on Saint Laurent’s S/S 2025 campaign starring Michelle Pfeiffer, in addition to Nicole Kidman – who plays Romy in Halina Reijn’s Babygirl – on the actor’s red carpet appearances during this year’s awards season.

Diptyque’s Orphéon fragrance first launched in 2021, marking the 60th anniversary of the Parisian perfume house. The scent takes inspiration from the 1960s jazz clubs of the Saint-Germain quarter: namely, The Orphéon Jazz Club, located next door to the brand’s first boutique. Now, until 16 April 2025, Orphéon is available in a limited edition collection, featuring packaging in the shade Orphéon Blue, alongside a perfume case whittled from oak wood. In February, Diptyque also announced the creation of The Diptyque Foundation. This philanthropic initiative will support the preservation of botanical heritage and diversity, alongside artistic research and educational programmes, to encourage ‘reconnection with nature and the living world’.
Lyn Harris captures her childhood memories of the Scottish Highlands in the handblown glass bottle of Rain Wood, a new fragrance from Perfumer H. Growing up, Harris would spend time with her grandparents in the forests of Aberdeenshire, recalling damp woodland floors and the smell of petrichor in Rain Wood’s composition. Here, notes of galbanum and elemi, meet with myrrh and pepper in its top and middle notes, which is underscored by a base of juniper, cedarwood and patchouli leaves.
Prada Beauty’s new Pradascope mascara was used by the brand’s global creative make-up artist in its A/W 2025 collection. (Although, Alexander had combed the product through eyebrows, rather than lashes, to create a dense and fuzzy appearance). The mascara’s brush is crafted with nylon fiber bristles, which have been meticulously arranged to provide definition and lift, whilst its formula is non-clumping and buildable thanks to a patented Flexible Micro-Film.
‘Our collaboration with La Bonne Brosse reflects both brands’ shared commitment to innovation, craftsmanship, long-term well-being, and self-care,’ Augustinus Bader co-founder and CEO Charles Rosier told Wallpaper* last month (12 February 2025), marking the arrival of the Augustinus Bader x La Bonne Brosse Hairbrush. Read the full interview here, where Professor Augustinus Bader also explains how to use the brush alongside its range of TCF8 haircare products.
With fresh eucalyptus, cedarwood, leathery labdanum, musk and frankincense, Le Labo’s latest perfume Eucalyptus 20 is grounded in the natural world, designed to evoke the feeling of a ‘digital detox’ through scent. ‘Picture a place so vast, so remote you can journey weeks without encountering another soul. Endless miles of rolling red sand, endless miles of sky,’ say the brand, also poetically describing Eucalyptus 20 as a fragrance that captures the ‘unambiguous scent of vastness’.
A series of new eyeshadow quads from Victoria Beckham Beauty have been fittingly named Eye Wardrobe, as they are designed to include all the shades and textures you’ll ever need to create limitless looks. Intended to work in tandem with the Victoria Beckham Beauty eye pencils, formulas are highly pigmented, buildable and butter-soft, all contained in a refillable and pocket-sized mirror compact. Shades range from Navy Noir – a spectrum of blues – to Victoria, a palette built around hues of taupe.
La Prairie’s latest innovation from its Skin Caviar collection is an updated Skin Caviar Liquid Lift Serum, a product that first hit the shelves in 2012. The new formula features technological advancements made by the Swiss brand over the past 13 years, such as its cocktail of Caviar Micro Nutrients, comprising 300 potent and nourishing natural ingredients. La Prairie says that the reformulated serum provides a ‘tensing’ effect to the skin, for a visibly lifted appearance ‘within 15 minutes’.
A matte texture without a trace of shimmer in sight, Westman Atelier’s Sun Tone Bronzing Drops are designed by brand founder, make-up artist Gucci Westman to be sheer and light, but also buildable. The product contains carrot oil and prebiotics to nourish skin during wear and can be applied over or under base make-up. Tackiness or pilling is non-existent here. And, as we have all come to expect from Westman Atelier, the packaging is perfectly formed.
