As we bring in the Year of the Tiger this Lunar New Year, brands around the globe are taking part in creating and developing signature products and packaging in honour of the revered tiger. Most sport traditional lucky colours of red and gold, while some brands have opted for flowers and peach blossoms to symbolise good luck, fortune and joy. From lipstick to facial essence, here are five beauty products that will make for a great Lunar New Year gift.
