If you thought last year topped the list when it comes to exciting new launches such as Dyson's Airwrap and Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Away Liquid Concealer, think again, because 2019 is already giving beauty buffs a lot to look forward to.
In the beauty world, innovative products, trends - think unicorn hair and the boy brow - and ground-breaking brands are born daily, which can make knowing what ones to invest in all the more difficult.
But, that’s where we come in. There’s no better time to revamp your routine than in January, and with this in mind, we’ve rounded up our pick of the beauty brands you can expect to see more of in the year ahead.
From makeup to skincare, these are the beauty brands you need to try in 2019.
Milk Makeup
A cosmetic company that’s taken the US by storm, Milk Makeup first launched in 2016, promoting the concept of “clean beauty” and raising awareness of the environmental impact of makeup.And now, it’s coming to the UK.
Launching on the Cult Beauty website from 28 January 2019, Milk Makeup’s offering includes everything from matte lipsticks and brow gels to serums and face masks.
The best part though, is that the brand is 100 per cent vegan and “clean” meaning none of its products contain common beauty ingredients such as beeswax, gelatin, parabens and sulphates.

Flower Beauty
The brainchild of Hollywood actor Drew Barrymore, Flower Beauty has been established in the US for years but it’s never made its way over to the UK – until now.
Turning her hand to the world of beauty, Barrymore’s collection launched at Superdrug in December 2018, offering customers an impressive range of products that are high in quality and low in price.
Believing beauty should be accessible to everyone, the collection includes everything you need to kit out your makeup stash, including flattering foundations, a contour palette and setting spray.

A London-based natural skincare company, Disciple should be top of the list for anyone that suffers from stressed-out skin.

Augustinus Bader
Augustinus Bader is like no other skincare brand we’ve come across. Developed by a world leading expert in stem cell research, Professor Augustinus Bader, this name-sake brand uses a patented Trigger Factor Complex in its formulas to target signs of ageing and environmental damage.
