 Beauty is a ritual, a treatment, and a way of life. And in L&rsquo;Officiel Singapore&rsquo;s Beauty Awards, we take beauty very seriously. Having spent the past few months preparing, testing, and judging a variety of beauty products &ndash; from the best long-wearing lipstick to the most effective acne treatment &ndash; we have expanded from 350 beauty nominations in the previous year to over a whopping 600, before arriving at a final list fit for your beauty arsenal, as judged by our panel of beauty experts. 
 And so, in a time of infinite scrolling and endless recommendations, we&rsquo;ve cut the clutter and narrowed down your shopping list to bring you our 110 best beauty products of 2021.

 "<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">More so than before, and because I was more recently reminded about the importance of hydration and sun care after a skin analysis, I&rsquo;ve been turning to and trying out more multi-tasking or two-in-one products that address more than one concern at once. For example, a lifting emulsion with SPF, a two-in-one firming and moisturising toner, or a toner with a nutrient-rich cream mixed in. That way, I get to reap the benefits of all my skincare needs while keeping my routine streamlined."

"<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">I&rsquo;ve found gua sha to be a great way to immediately &ndash; and almost dramatically &ndash; lift and brighten skin. Especially when used in the morning, it helps to reduce puffiness while also energising my skin. An added bonus is that the massaging of pressure points of the gua sha tool over my face and neck works as a great muscle tension and stress relief, making for a self- care ritual I keep returning to."

"<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">If you&rsquo;re like me and you don&rsquo;t want to opt for expensive lash extensions monthly, here&rsquo;s my favourite hack for voluminous lashes. Once you&rsquo;ve curled your lashes, apply a layer of Vaseline with a clean spoolie brush as <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">a base for your go-to mascara. Wait for it to dry before layering another coat on top of it. Trust me, it makes all the difference!"

 "<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">Stop overloading your face with products. More skincare doesn&rsquo;t mean better skin: You might end up irritating it more because it might overload your skin tolerance level. Same with makeup; if we want to see a lot of concrete texture, we will check out the CBD area."

 "<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">Always wear sunscreen, even when you are indoors. This helps to delay signs of ageing and prevents skin cancer."

 "<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">To ensure optimal freshness, I store all my face and eye masks in the fridge. It&rsquo;s extra refreshing and helps with puffiness!"

Categories

Cleansers
The first step to every good skincare routine. Cleansers help to get rid of dirt, sebum, oil, and dead skin cells that accumulate on your skin over time. In this category, we introduce our favourite clarifying, hydrating, soothing, and brightening cleansers.

Serums
Treat any skincare concern you may have with the help of serums; skin saviours that are packed with powerful active ingredients designed to penetrate your skin quickly and effectively. In this category, we've rounded up the best multitasking, overnight lifting, hydrating, lifting, clarifying, and brightening serums for your consideration.

Toners
Never neglect the use of a toner in your routine. Toners remove any excess traces of dirt, grime, or impurities leftover on your pores post-cleansing. In this category, we deliver our top picks of clarifying, hydrating, soothing, lifting, brightening, and calming products to prep your skin for the layering of more to come.&nbsp;

Essences
Similarly to toners, essences are a water-based solution to be packed on before your serums and moisturiser. Instead of cleansing, essences restore hydration to your skin cells and protect your skin to give you a plump complexion. In this category, we let you choose between a hydrating, plumping, multitasking and a trusty facial mist for your hydration upkeep.&nbsp;

Moisturisers
One of the most important steps in every routine that's not to be skipped. Moisturisers help to protect your skin's barrier from irritation and prevent your skin from drying out. In this category, we handpick six solutions for the better of your skin's health. Choose between our top clarifying, hydrating, lifting, soothing, multitasking, and rejuvenating options.&nbsp;

Acne
If you suffer from acne-prone skin, here's the ideal category for you. We've rounded up our top acne targeting cleaners, facial mists, and spot treatments for your consideration.

Eye Treatments
"Eyes are the window to the soul," or so they say. In this category, we've selected the best treatments to help keep your eyes looking fresh and rejuvenated. Think: Eye serums, depuffing eye creams and more.&nbsp;

Masks and Treatments
Who doesn't love a good mask treatment? It's one of the most common products for anyone to pamper themselves at home before bed. In this category, we've chosen 9 of our favourite sheet masks, eye masks, chemical exfoliants, and more to help you on your journey to optimal self-care.&nbsp;

Sunscreen
We don't have to tell you just how important sunscreen is for the skin. With the harmful ultraviolet radiation we're exposed to on a daily, we're all in need of a good protectant against damaging UV rays; which is why we've tried and tested multiple SPF products to give you our most trusted selection in this category.&nbsp;

Bases
Primers, foundations, powders, and setting sprays are the fundamentals to the ideal pore-perfecting makeup look we all desire. Here, we cut through the clutter to bring you the best bases for every skin type.

Highlighters and Bronzers
Add a little spice to your look with our selection of highlighters and bronzers, made to accentuate any features you wish. Just a little goes a long way!

Eyes
Now that you've treated your eyes to a good pampering with eye treatments, it's time to beautify them with these products. In this category, we've got a selection of eyeshadow palettes, liquid eyeshadows, liners, mascaras, and more to help elevate your look.&nbsp;

Lips
If there's one makeup product you need to make your look pop, it's all in the lips. And what better way than a good shade of red to help you do that? In this category, we've picked out our top lip oils, balms, and sticks for your consideration.&nbsp;

Gadgets, Tools and Supplements
Amplify your skincare routine with the help of gadgets, tools, and supplements. These helpful products will help you achieve your desired complexion or look in half the time. Think: Collagen supplements, cleansing devices, and more!

Body
Treat your body with the same amount of love and care you do for your face. In this category, we've tested a multitude of products to deliver only the best body washes, moisturisers, and exfoliators to keep your skin feeling soft and smooth.&nbsp;

Fragrances
When it comes to beauty, it's gone beyond just looking good, but smelling good too. We don't have to tell you that fragrances are inherently personal. Everyone has a different preference when it comes to what notes they wish to wear on a regular. Are you a fruity or woodsy person? When it comes down to it, only you know what you like &ndash; but it doesn't hurt to have some help every once in a while.&nbsp;

Sustainable
When investing in products, it's good to favour those that are more conscious in their pursuit of beauty. In this category, our team at L'Officiel Singapore has put in the work to pick out our favourite sustainable products to help ease you on your journey to conscious living.

What Else Can You Expect?&nbsp;

Besides the many categories we've listed above that we will be unveiling over the next two weeks on our website, you can expect to read about the 18 outstanding products that have been handpicked by our very own judges. Rouge Herm&egrave;s for Best Long Wearing Lipstick, Maison 21G for Best Bespoke Fragrance, and more!&nbsp;
All we can say is &ndash; get ready to update your beauty shopping list.&nbsp;
