While the fashion world prepares for the new season, August's best beauty launches look to the past. This month, we saw our favorite brands give new life to old favorites with re-launches, reformulations, and refreshed classic scents.
Take, for instance, Clarins' Double Serum. The French beauty brand first released its cult-favorite face serum in 1985, but just upgraded the formula following five years of new epigenetics (lifestyle factors that contribute to aging) research. Then, fragrance brands like YSL Beauty and Henry Rose gave their best-selling scents—Libre and Jake's House, respectively—an end-of-summer twist. Of course, I'd be remiss not to mention Urban Decay's relaunch of the original Naked palette, a makeup relic of the 2010s now in a vegan formula.
