The 6 Best Beauty Drops of August That Deserve "The Hype"
These are your much needed pre-fall essentials.
Honestly, it’s becoming tougher and tougher to sift through the endless drops of moisturizers, mascaras, lipsticks and blushes coming our way each month. As someone who loves to keep up with the latest beauty trends, I can wholeheartedly admit that 2023 isn’t shaping up to be the most exciting year for beauty brands in terms of innovations — but we move.
As we say goodbye to August, it feels like the summer has come and gone in the blink of an eye, much like Carrie Bradshaw’s Manolo Blahnik‘s in Sex And The City‘s Season 6A: Episode 9. With the arrival of fall, the Hypebae Beauty Team has noticed a shift in focus from brands as they turn their attention towards repairing our skin after a season in the sun. As we begin to transition into the new season, we are also swapping out our summer fragrances for more autumnal notes, such as peppery florals and musky scents. It’s the perfect time to revamp our beauty routines and embrace the changes that come with the new season.
As always, we’ll have to keep our eyes and ears open and stay on top of the latest releases due to drop in September. In the meantime, keep reading for the seven best beauty launches we’re standing beside in August.

This concealer is worth all the hype surrounding it. I personally experienced it at the launch event where a makeup artist applied it on me, and I was amazed at how it lifted my face and made my tired eyes disappear. The concealer’s caffeine-infused formula not only reduces puffiness around the eyes but also sets the product without the need for powder, preventing creasing and cracking.
