THE MAKE-UP BAG
Large Travel Bag, £36 | Space NK
These Space NK bags are the best out there. They come in a range of sizes, but I keep the tiny one in my handbag or in the middle of my beach bag. The larger one lives in my bathroom and contains my entire skincare routine. It’s an absolute essential for going on holiday.

THE MOISTURISERS
VinoHydra Deep Hydration Moisturizer, £20 | Caudalie
Advanced Génifique Youth Activating Concentrate, £165 | Lancôme
I have quite oily, acne prone skin, so a lightweight moisturiser is what I’m looking for. This Caudalie one is really beautiful. I also love Génifique because it does it all – from hydration to barrier repair and evening out the skin tone.

THE SPF
Future Renew UV Defence Shield SPF 50, £24.95 | No7
Vinosun Very High Protection Sun Water SPF50+, £32 | Caudalie
For my face SPF, I’ve been using this No7 Defence Shield SPF. Not only does it have SPF50 UVA + UVB protection, it also has peptide technology for better skin renewal. For my body, the Caudalie Very High Protection Water provides all the shielding you need but leaves the skin with this gorgeous glow.

THE BASE
Super Stay Lumi-Matte Foundation, £12.95 | Maybelline
This product has gone viral in Asia – and I can see why. I managed to get a bottle and it’s totally worth the hype. It feels super high-end and has buildable coverage – but just enough so it still feels natural.

THE CONCEALER
Prisme Libre Skin-Caring Concealer, £34 | Givenchy
For a skin-like finish, this concealer is the best. I have two shades, one to cover imperfections (like a foundation) and one to highlight. You truly only need these two for the whole face.

THE BRONZER
All Hours Hyper Bronzer, £46.20 | YSL
It’s so hard to find a bronzer that has the correct amount of red for my skin tone – but the YSL shades are amazing. I love that I don’t have to think too much about the application – just remember a little goes a long way.

THE BLUSHER
Blush Filter Liquid Blush, £24 | Huda Beauty
These are like Pokémon for me, – I truly have got to get them all. They’re beautiful, easy to blend and look amazing even without foundation.
Available at BOOTS.COM
THE GLOW GIVER
Lumi Glotion, £11.99 | L’Oréal Paris
This is without a doubt my favourite release of 2024. I use it as an illuminator under foundation or by itself for a ‘no make-up make-up’ look. You can also use it on your body to blur, bronze and highlight.

THE LASHES
It honestly takes a lot for me to put mascara on during a holiday, but Vieve never lets me down. It’s ideal for lengthening and defining, without any flaking.

THE SHADOW
These Vieve shadows are so easy to blend. Whether you’re going for something subtle or sultry, these palettes allow you to create so many looks.

THE BROWS
Brow Freeze Gel, £24 | Anastasia Beverly Hills
I have very thick, curly brow hairs, which makes them impossible to tame. When I can, I see Hollie Parkes and use this ABH brow gel day to day.

THE TOOL
This thing does it all. From EMS to red light led and RF all in one, it’s amazing for travel.

THE FRAGRANCE
Lust For Sun, £100 | Juliette Has A Gun
For summer in a bottle, look no further. Citrusy, fresh and fruity, its floral notes and hint of ylang ylang will take you from day to night.

THE HAIR HEROES
Hydrating Shampoo, £29 | Cécred
I’ve been religious with my Redken and Aveda products for years – but Queen B has changed the game. The hydrating shampoo is incredible and the scent is so good.

THE BODY FAVOURITE
Huile Prodigieuse Florale Multi-Purpose Dry Oil, £22 | Nuxe
Many of us have had this product in our kit since we were young. The new rose version is definitely worth a try. I love applying it all over my body but also on my cheek bones for some extra glow. Also slather it across the décolletage.
Available at BOOTS.COM
THE AIRPLANE MUST-PACK
SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray with Hypochlorous Acid, £26 | Tower 28
I’m immunosuppressed, so wearing a face mask on the aeroplane is essential – but the standard ones irritate my acne prone skin. To help it, I’ve been using this mist, which has completely stopped the post-flight breakouts.
