The Foundation

Mask Fit Red Cushion Foundation, £20 | Tirtir

You may have seen this foundation doing the rounds on TikTok – and for good reason. The claims around flawless, even coverage more than live up to the hype, though be warned, the finish is dewier that it appears on screen. Great for drier skin types or anyone looking for added glow.

The Mascara

Kill Lash Superproof Mascara, £14.90 (Was £24) | Clio

Effortless, ultra-precise and built to last, the Kill Lash Superproof Mascara delivers statement volume without the drama. Its innovative wand reaches every lash, while the smudge- and flake-resistant formula ensures everything lasts from day to night. Ideal for busy days, long nights and everything in between, it’s the kind of mascara you’ll reach for on repeat.

The Blush

Lip&Cheek Blurry Pudding Pot, £16 | Fwee

The texture of this lip and cheek stain is really unique. Mousse-like and airy, it dries down to a blurry, soft-effect finish on the skin. With a large shade range on offer – 35 to be exact – there’s something for everyone but our favourite is ‘Lyrics’, a browny-red perfect for autumn.

The Lip Tint

Fixing Tint, £11 | Etude

For that effortless, blurred-lip look, Etude’s Fixing Tint is a must-try. The creamy formula glides on like butter before setting into a soft-matte finish that stays put for hours. Pat it in with your fingertip to create that perfectly diffused, just-bitten effect.

The CC Cream

CC Creme Clair, £38 | ERBORIAN

A long-time favourite among beauty editors, Erborian was one of the first Korean brands to make waves in the UK. Its hero product, the iconic CC Cream, evens out the complexion, blurs imperfections and delivers a natural, luminous finish. Lightweight and foolproof, it adapts seamlessly to your skin tone, making it one of those rare base products that truly does it all.

The Lip Gloss

Jelly Fit Tinted Glow Lip Tint, £13.30 | Milktouch

Sitting somewhere between a gloss and a tint, this clever formula delivers the best of both worlds. The jelly-like texture glides on seamlessly, coating lips in a sheer veil of glassy colour. Infused with a number of hydrating ingredients, it plumps and smooths without any stickiness, leaving lips feeling soft, moisturised and full.

The Concealer

Cover Perfection Triple Pot Concealer, £10.80 | The Saem

Designed to deliver both colour correction and even coverage, this creamy formula is a dream for anyone keen to disguise redness, blemishes or dark circles. It blends into the skin for a smooth, even finish that still looks natural. Right now, there are only five shades to choose from but we’re hoping more will be added in due course.
