Words by Ruby Devlin

Calling all sensitive types! The Californian makeup brand creating a safe space for sensitive skin has landed at MECCA.

Inspired by founder Amy Liu’s struggle with eczema, Tower 28 creates a safe space for sensitive skin with makeup (and some unique skincare!) specifically formulated to be gentle and non-irritating.

When we heard whispers that we would finally be getting to spritz their viral SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray on our (a little too) rosy cheeks and apply their Swipe Serum Concealer on our (not-so-designer) under-eye bags, the excitement at MECCA HQ was palpable.

Now, it’s finally here, and to celebrate the launch of Tower 28 at MECCA, we put the brand’s most hyped products to the test, on MECCA HQ’s sensitive skin types. Keep scrolling for our thoughts!

Emily, Graduate

No stranger to the struggles of red, irritated skin, Emily was dying to try Tower 28: “I've had super sensitive skin for as long as I can remember, but it's definitely gotten worse as I've gotten older.”

Enter, stage left: SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray - the brand's beloved hypochlorous acid mist.

According to Emily, a few spritzes morning and night kept her redness at bay. “It’s so calming and fits effortlessly into my routine,” she says, adding, “I also loved using it throughout the day whenever I felt a potential breakout on the horizon.”

Other products ready to take prime position on Emily’s beauty shelf include the SunnyDays SPF 30 Tinted Sunscreen Foundation in ‘15 Melrose’ which she applauds for the beach-day glow it imparts, and the MakeWaves Lengthening + Volumizing Mascara which she continues to praise for its long wear, lack of smudging or stinging, and ability to separate her stubborn lashes.

Sameera, Senior IT Business Analyst

Sameera actually applauded when we delivered Tower 28 products to her desk, telling us her dry, sensitive skin “loves” the range.

More specifically, the BeachPlease Lip + Cheek Cream Blush in ‘Rush Hour’ was just the pop of colour she was looking for: “It’s super buildable, so really handy to go from the office to after-work drinks.”

And the ShineOn Lip Gloss in ‘Sesame’, she tells us, was also a standout: “That glossy finish and shade complimented my skin tone so well. Plus, it made my lips look luscious and hydrated.”

Amanda, People & Education Business Partner

Amanda felt reassured knowing that her new routine would be safe for her reactive skin.

The always hydrating, never cakey Swipe Serum Concealer ‘4.0 DTLA’ was her MVP: “I love how it kept my skin looking natural but still gave me enough coverage to last the entire day,” Amanda explains, adding that the product’s buildable formula made it great for days when she wants fuller coverage.

“I also loved the blush,” she adds. “It’s super pigmented but blended seamlessly. Really beginner-friendly!”
