In 2020, Koh Gen Do reformulated their iconic Maifanshi Moisture Foundation to include their Gloss Film Powder technology, and it has quickly become a favorite for makeup artists and beauty enthusiasts thanks to its natural skin-like finish. One quick glance at the Koh Gen Do Artist Voice page on their website shows an extensive list of ongoing film and television productions where the makeup artists have chosen to use the Maifanshi Moisture Foundation for their leading actors and actresses.

"I have been using Koh Gen Do Moisture & Aqua Foundation’s for all of my entire cast members on Netflix Bling Empire," explains Patrick Tumey, Key Makeup Artist Netflix Bling Empire. "The application is flawless and doesn’t look heavy on high DEF tv/screen (High definition) As well as long-lasting. The wide range of color tones for this all-Asian cast is absolute perfection. Thank you to my friends at Koh Gen Do for their support for these years I am truly grateful."

Our newest haircare brand SACHAJUAN is also making waves in the industry. Daisy Beauty, a Swedish magazine, named SACHAJUAN's Scalp Brush the Best Hair Care and Styling Product for 2021. The judges told Daisy the brush is "the product you didn't know you needed, and which you - when you have tried it- do not want to be without! It increases blood circulation and at the same time provides a moment of conscious presence - like yoga for the scalp!"

When it comes to brows, Brett Freedman's products have been pro favorites for years. He has helped celebrities including Taylor Swift, Reba McIntire, Kelly Clarkson, Catherine Zeta Jones, Sarah Silverman, and more achieve brow perfection, so it's no surprise he has been receiving high praise from the press lately.

Several of Brett's best sellers including his dual-ended tweezers, Duo Shade Brow Powders, and Laser Brow Pencil have recently been included in articles on Forbes.com (The Nine Best Tweezers for Eyebrow Shaping), Coveteur.com (The Top Five Brow Powders for Natural Looking Brows in a Flash), and Vogue.com (Looking for the Best Eyebrow Pencil? 11 Celebrity Makeup Artists Share Their Favorites).

While the results for the Allure Best of Beauty 2021 have yet to be revealed (voting has closed), we're proud to say that our newest brand Indie Lee was included in the Reader's Choice nomination list under Clean Beauty! Their Brightening Cleanser was one of two Indie Lee products voters nominated to be a Best of Beauty award winner, and we know why.

This gentle yet effective cleanser does it all. It gently removes dirt and excess oil, removed makeup, and can act as a gentle mask if left on for a few minutes for extra purifying. Hydrating ingredients including coconut and sunflower oil prevent your skin from being stripped of its moisture, and strawberry seed oil, hydrolyzed wheat protein, and tomato extra provide an antioxidant boost for firming-looking skin. This cleanser is available in a full and travel-size, and if you're wanting to try more from Indie Lee (and trust us, you'll want to!), it's also available in the Discovery Kit.

With so much focus on our eyes during the past year, it's no surprise many of us are treating our eyes to nourishing eye creams that can provide some much-needed hydration to the sensitive skin around our eyes. If you're looking for a new eye product with skin-loving ingredients, One Love Organics Botanical E Eye Balm may be the perfect choice!

Byrdie recently named it the Best Eye Balm thanks to the powerful blend of Vitamin E, organic shea butter, pomegranate, and sea kelp that help provide rich and lasting hydration. You can use it sparingly under makeup to hydrate your skin during the day or as a nighttime eye cream.
