Signature scent

A bespoke perfume is one-of-a-kind, and

aromatherapist Audra James says this is precisely

their appeal. “It reflects your unique personality and

individual style." These fragrances take several weeks

to perfect and are created after consultation about

your preferences and the feeling you want your scent

to evoke.9. Audra James Botanicals bespoke perfume, $225.

All-inclusive foundation

Standard foundation colours are no longer

good enough, as brands now proudly champion

the fact they’re offering foundations for a range of

complexions. Pop star Rihanna led with her Fenty

Beauty range of 40-strong foundations. Adjusting

drops (like Ulta3 Shade Adjusting Drops, $9.95) are

another development. “Foundation drops allow you

to customise your foundation to be a little lighter or

a little darker as you need,” explains Monica.4. Fenty

Beauty foundations (available in 40 shades), $50 each.

Custom blend

Skin care selection

was governed

by classifying your

complexion’s "type".

Bespoke products

change this by utilising

in-depth questionnaires

and diagnostic tools

to identify specific

concerns. Ee Ting,

founder of online

bespoke skin care

brand Hop & Cotton,

explains consultation

determines the

product’s composition.

“Every ingredient is

carefully selected for

its proven benefits,”

she says.8. Hop & Cotton

The Smooth Operator face

Apothecary Preparation

custom serum, $140.

One of one

Some companies can

create bespoke lipsticks

and foundations. A consultation

about your complexion and

preferences is used to determine

the requirements and then a

unique colour mix is blended.

Make-up artist Sonia Allen

(soniaallenmakeup.com) says

the advantage of these products

is they "take away the colour-

matching guesswork”. Be

sure to check your shade in

natural light.5. The Lip Lab custom

blended lipstick, from $65. 6. The

Lip Lab blend your own foundation,

from $75.
