2021 Issy Wrapped: Here are must-have beauty products we’re taking with us to 2022
2021 was undoubtedly a great year for beauty products, from celebrity releases like Ariana Grande’s r.e.m. beauty, to exclusive collaborations like Pat McGrath’s regal collection with Netflix’s beloved Bridgerton. Locally, we have a game-changing brand, Issy & Co., which launched one all-star collection release after another.
From an extension of the brand’s bestselling Skin On The Go collection, which highlights a more inclusive range, to the Brow Precison Pen for better-than-ever brows and the Hydragloss, a hybrid lip oil-cum-lip treatment, among others. For 2021 Issy Unwrapped, we take a look at all their releases from the year that was, which we’re taking to 2022.

An oldie but a goodie gets a makeover! The cult-favorite Brow Refiner got an upgrade in 2021. The beloved eyebrow duo refines brows in two ways: the brow gel sculps, tints, tames and enhances the brows while the castor oil promotes hair growth. It’s available in clear, ash, taupe and brown for the best brows of your life!

Fill in sparse areas of your brows with the Precision Brow Pen, a detailing pen with a brush tip that defines brows with fine-feathering strokes. The pen’s superfine brush tip creates featherlight, realistic hair strokes. Use it to remedy over-tweezed eyebrows and empty spots!

For a barely-there flush of color on the lips, which offers sheer but buildable application, try the Issy & Co. Hydragloss. Use it as a lip conditioner, a lip primer, even an overnight lip mask or lipstick topper! Choose from nine diverse shades perfect from day to night!
Our picks: Wear Baywatch, a Kool-aid red, for a sheer pop of color on the daily, and Loveboat, a rosy sunburn perfect on its own or on top of a nude matte lip.

Issy & Co. has made an affordable, fast-melting, do-it-all balm that works as hard as you do! The Cleansing Butter (P549) breaks down stubborn makeup and water-resistant sunscreen, plus removes dirt and other surface impurities. It even purifies skin to give it a thorough cleanse.
It’s available in two variants: Nourishing Melt for people with normal skin types and Calming Melt for those with sensitive skin. Use it as the first step of your double cleanse, before your water-based cleanser!

To complement the brand’s extensive makeup line, Issy & Co. created a hybrid product, the Booster Serum, which can simplify your skincare routine; it can even be layered before makeup application. It’s available in four variants, too!
The Refining & Clarifying Drops contain grapeseed oil and licorice root extract that help minimize blemishes and improve skin texture. The Multi-Nourishing Drops are formulated with superstar ingredient extracts, like the edelweiss flower, sea daffodil and seawater algae, combined with key active ingredients to fully recharge skin and give it antioxidant protection.
Meanwhile, the Hydrating & Soothing Drops are infused with a powerful combination of beta-glucan, peptides and gold, leaving skin fresh and supple. Meanwhile, the Serum Balancing Drops have lactic acid, kaolin clay and zinc gluconate, to help keep excess oil at bay.
There’s no limit to its use! Add a few drops to other beauty products, like your concealer for a skin-perfecting tinted serum or even to a cream blush for a skin-flattering liquid serum blush.
