A Make-Up Artist Chooses Her Ride-Or-Die Products
BASE
Sunny Serum, £12.76 (was £15.95) | Isle Of Paradise
Skin Tint Blurring Elixir Foundation, £21.60 (was £27) | Kylie Cosmetics
Lumi Glotion, £11.99 | L’Oréal Paris
“When it comes to my base, I’m all about playing chemist. I’ll never use just one product – I prefer mixing different formulas to create a bespoke finish. Right now, I’m loving the Kylie Cosmetics Skin Tint mixed with the L’Oréal Paris Lumi Glotion and a hint of Isle Of Paradise’s Sunny Serum. This combination gives my skin such a gorgeous glow and always earns me compliments.”
EYES
The Feline Flick Eyeliner Pen, £25 | Charlotte Tilbury
Satin Kajal Liner, £32 | Victoria Beckham Beauty
“I’m a sucker for a kohl liner; I love the soft, hazy finish it gives. Victoria Beckham’s Satin Kajal Eyeliner in the shade ‘Cocoa’ – a deep, earthy brown – is the one I reach for most. The easy-to-blend formula allows you to create the shape you want, and then I love to add an ultra-fine liquid Iiner over the top for a multi-dimensional effect. Charlotte Tilbury’s Feline Flick pen is the one I rate.”
BRONZER & CONTOUR
Contour Stylus, £35 | Victoria Beckham Beauty
Modern Radiance Cream Bronzer, £32 | Vieve
“I’m a big fan of the Vieve Modern Radiance Cream Bronzer, which I apply with a brush to my cheekbones and temples – I like to focus on the areas where the sun naturally hits. On days when I’m after more warmth, I’ll buff it all over with a larger brush. Then for contouring detail areas, you can’t beat the Victoria Beckham Stylus. It’s so handy on the nose, jawline and hollows of the cheekbones – anywhere where you want to add shading.”
BLUSH
“Merit’s Flush Balm is such a winner. Application is instinctive: simply dab it onto the apples of the cheeks and blend it out either with your fingers or a brush. The shade range is so flattering and versatile, and I love the way the creamy texture melts into your skin. Sometimes I’ll even use it on my lips – I’m so here for a multi-tasker.”
BROWS
Harmony Flexible Lifting Gel, £18 | Rare Beauty
Brow Harmony Precision Pencil, £19 | Rare Beauty
“So many brow gels leave behind flaky residue on the hairs resembling dandruff – not a vibe. One that actually delivers is by Rare Beauty. It keeps the hairs locked in place without it looking like they’ve been glued down – the finish still feels fluffy and natural. Then, for more definition, I’ll fill in my arches with the brand’s slimline pencil.”
LIPS
Lip Liner, £18 | Anastasia Beverly Hills
Peptide Lip Treatment, £18 | Rhode
Lip Butter Balm, £23 | Summer Fridays
“I first discovered the Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Liner in the shade ‘Deep Taupe’ when I spotted it on Hailey Bieber. I knew I needed to give it a try, and it did not disappoint. It’s a gorgeous, flattering brown-taupe tone that I pair with a balm – either the Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment or the ‘Iced Coffee’ version of the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm.”
PALETTE
I Need A Nude Palette, £64 | Natasha Denona
“In my kit, I’m never without Natasha Denona’s Nude eyeshadow palette. It’s my go-to on brides who want a soft, smokey brown eye. Richly pigmented and a dream to blend, the mix of finishes means this palette is ultra-versatile.”
CONCEALER
Vanish Airbrush Concealer, £36 | Hourglass
“The Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Concealer is a beautiful, buildable formula – a little goes a long way, but you can add more in the areas where you feel you want extra coverage. It hides imperfections and, in a shade lighter than your natural skin tone, it works well to brighten your complexion.”
