L’Oreal Paris Glow Cherie, £9.99
This luminous lotion coats skin with a golden glow while the watermelon hydrates for a plump, smooth finish. The fine particles of shimmer catch the light beautifully and look best when dabbed onto the cheekbones or down the bridge of your nose for an extra dose of luminosity. Or, mix with your go-to base for all-over radiance.

MadeCera Cream, £55
One of Korea’s best skincare launches, this buttery cream is packed with strengthening ceramides to keep skin plump and hydrated. A best-seller, it’s often hard to get hold of, but so worth it for the noticeable difference it makes. It’s brilliant for healing and repairing damaged skin, too – think burns, scars and allergies.

Bellitas Eyelash & Eyebrow Tint, £4.50
Want to go DIY with lash tinting, but unsure where to start? Look no further than this inky black treatment. It’s easy to use, with a gentle formula that never stings or irritates. Mix a 2cm blob with 10 drops of the brands Volume Peroxide, then sweep it on with an old mascara wand, or use your fingers (with gloves on) to rub the tint into the lashes. Just be sure to apply Vaseline around the upper and lower lids to prevent transfer.

Lumene Rich Day Cream Hydra Care, £26.90
Rich, buttery and hydrating, this day cream feels almost like a weighted blanket for the skin – but without being suffocating. After you’ve applied it, you’ll be amazed at how quickly it alleviates signs of dryness and dullness, thanks to the blend of Nordic bilberry and canola oils. It also sinks in fast, so you never have to worry about your foundation piling or flaking – in fact, when blended together, you're left with a beautiful, radiant finish that always looks healthy.
