But just like with any new brands entering the market, there will be one star of the show that everyone is aiming for. Find our top choice, along with other new beauty releases in June 2025, below.
And with summer being on everyone’s mind, the curation here is packed with all of the things that will leave you golden and glossy all day long, despite the heat.
The Best New Makeup Releases of June 2025
Dior Forever Nude Bronze Glow
Is it truly summer without a delicious swipe of bronzer? A beauty extension of the iconic Dioriviera campaign, the Summer 2025 collection features a selection of items that are curated for the season. But the one that caught our eye is the limited edition Dior Forever Nude Bronze Glow. For the first time ever, the toile de Jouy print is transposed onto the makeup case and the powder surface, resulting in a truly opulent piece. Available in Coral Bronze and Pink Bronze, the single product is an amalgamation of a satin bronzer, a matte sculpting shade, a tinge of blush, and an eye-catching gold highlighter, the combination of which results in a healthy, radiant bronze.

Huda Beauty Lip Contour Stain
Ever since taking back her throne at her namesake company, Huda Kattan has been making it her personal mission to create truly innovative beauty products. This time around, she’s adding a lip contour stain to her repertoire of offerings. With eight shades covering browns, reds, and pinks, each liner comes with a dual-sided applicator that lets users effortlessly line with precision and fill with ease. As expected with stains, this one promises a tint that stays all day long while delivering transfer- and smudge-proof qualities that everyone seeks in lip liners. If there is one caveat with this liner, it is to mind the storage—stash it away tip down to ensure smooth flow for the next application.

YSL Loveshine Plumping Lip Oil Gloss
If it’s good enough for Dua Lipa, it’s great for us. Riding on the highly celebrated trend of lip oils and the success of their Loveshine range, YSL Beauty has released the Plumping Lip Oil Gloss. You can expect the smoothness of a gloss to come through, but the mango-scented lip oil is also infused with ginger and spicy pepper oils to really build volume on the lips, creating double the appearance of fullness. The plumping effect is multiplied by the hydrating formula too, as the gloss is formulated with 97 per cent oils that allow the lip oil to deliver 24 hours of hydration. On top of the hero shade Thunder Stealer, there are seven other juicy shades to choose from, all of which are stunning to wear alone or along with your favourite lip colour.

Sol de Janeiro Body Badalada Lotion
So you’ve fallen in love with the classic Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, but need that in a lighter format? Then this lotion is the one for you. Scented with the very same Cheirosa 62 fragrance that we all know and love, the lotion is ultra-lightweight, absorbs seamlessly into the skin, all while delivering a gush of hydration through the hyaluronic acid and Brazilian nut oil that are infused into the formula. It’s perfect for anyone’s after-shower ritual or a midday boost, because the lotion does not leave you with a layer of telltale grease that typically takes a while to melt into the skin. This is for when you’re racing against the clock, and the Bum Bum Cream is for when you’re chillaxing.

Les Mains Hermès Limited Edition SS25
Summer nails, coming your way. This season, Hermès is curating a candy-coloured range of nail lacquers that can add a splash of much-needed whimsy to daily life. Vibrant shades such as violet, sunshine yellow, popsicle orange, and light aqua, along with a sparkling top coat that hosts a myriad of mother-of-pearl particles in the formula, the selection has the versatility to go between a glassy mirror finish and a sparkly mani that catches the eye.
Available exclusively in Hermés boutiques, at Hermés counters in Parkson Pavilion Elite Kuala Lumpur and Seibu, The Exchange
Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Light Wand
We all know and love Charlotte Tilbury for the film star aesthetic. With the brand’s arrival in Malaysia, we nominate the Beauty Light Wand to be your starting point as you discover the brand. Why so? It imparts a chic and healthy gleam without emphasising texture on the skin, which is a feat that not many liquid highlighters can achieve. Application is also easy as 1, 2, 3, because you can deposit the product onto the skin straight from the sponge applicator and blend either with just fingers or with a brush. Its versatility (you can wear it lightly for a natural glow or go heavier for an undeniable shine) is also another plus, because you can have this for the cheeks, the brow bones, the inner corner of the eyes, or even the cupid’s bow—just remember to strategise the placements beforehand.

Givenchy Prisme Libre 4-Colour Pressed Powder
Many fans of the original Givenchy Prisme Libre 4-Colour Loose Powder have mourned their loss since the reformulation. If you’re one of them, rejoice, because the new pressed version can achieve the same smoothness that you’ve grown to love, without the excessive glow. Each of the four available shades comes with a quad of curated colours that are designed to colour correct while imbuing the skin with an incomparable, flawless, blurred and matte finish. Be sure to check for your specific colour correction needs, as each option is meant to address either yellowness, redness, or blue and purple tones to create a unified complexion.

Fenty Beauty Body Lava
It’s the season of skin, so of course, Fenty Beauty is putting out its limited edition Body Lava that’s going to transform you into a literal golden goddess. But there’s more than just the glow to love. The non-sticky, gel-based formula is a joy to apply as it simply glides onto the skin without leaving any patchiness. The body luminiser, which used to come in only the shade Who Needs Clothes?!, now arrives with three additional shades of opal, bronze, and copper to encompass more skin tones and utilises light-diffusing micropearls to result in the juicy sheen. To top it off, it is also infused with a dreamy vanilla scent, so perfume is optional when you have this on.

Creed Eladaria
The notion that a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet doesn’t apply here. At the House of Creed, the brand has successfully concocted a gorgeous musky rose scent in the latest launch, Eladaria. With pink pepper and citruses at the top, rose, peony, and lily of the valley in the middle, and ambroxan, musk, cashmere wood, and vanilla as the base notes, the juice is a fresh yet intoxicating blend that will earn its place in your fragrance collection. If we had to describe the scent, it perfectly captures the scent of dewy roses in the morning in the opening, and leans into a more gourmand territory as you wear it throughout the day.
Exclusively available at Creed Pavilion Kuala Lumpur.
Scents of Memento 013 Down the Witch’s Road
Aren’t we all searching for that special fragrance that’s going to set us apart from the rest? If you’re in the same boat, consider this truly unique release from Scents of Memento. Scent designer Xing dreamed up a wet and dark forest that hides a witch within its foliage and came up with this magical concoction that includes an intriguing accord: rain. This marks the thirteenth release from the local brand, and it has this mystical edge that makes it quite the enigma. But you can still pick up familiar notes of cinnamon, oakmoss, and vanilla through the foreignness, resulting in an approachable scent that will have people asking you what you are wearing.

Lumi Beauty Ethereal Gleam Mini Duo
It’s summer, so having made your travel arrangements for the season is only logical. To accompany you on this relaxing time away, take this duo that includes a shower gel and a body lotion. It takes the scent coordination out of the equation, leaving space for quality recharge time. There are two scents to choose from: Blushing Blooms (a decadent vanilla rose scent) and Rustic Escape (a refreshing blend of bergamot and sandalwood). Whichever your heart desires, both the shower gel and body lotion come charged with skin-loving ingredients. In the shower, the skin will get nourished by a combined dose of niacinamide, aloe vera, and a hydration complex that plumps up the skin. And come time for body lotion application, the skin will remain hydrated for up to 72 hours thanks to the 7 plant-powered complex, along with glutathione, tranexamic acid, and kojic acid
