February ushers in a season of prosperity and romance. While the two are often celebrated separately, this year sees Valentine’s Day and Chinese New Year aligning on the calendar, with the romantic holiday setting the tone on 14 February before the Lunar New Year arrives on 17 February. United by a colour palette that works just as well for date nights as it does for house visits, it’s the perfect moment to invite love and luck into your life. From skincare and make-up to fragrance, these beauty picks capture the spirit of the season—our edit of the best to celebrate it all.
