The Team’s Favourite Grab & Go Make-Up
Becky Hull, Group Beauty Director
Baume Essentiel Multi-Use Glow Stick, £38 | Chanel
"I have one of these in each shade. I love its nearly transparent texture and the way it reflects light on your face so nicely, without any OTT shimmer. I scribble it on my cheekbones, brow bone, collarbone – anywhere that needs a bit of glow and luminosity. It's great on eyelids too and mixes nicely with shadows for a dewy finish."

Cheeky Posh Cream Blush Stick, £39 | Victoria Beckham Beauty
"I live for a multi-tasking lip and cheek product, but most actually never live up to expectations and feel too tight over my lips. Velvety-smooth, Cheeky Posh Stick is the exception. It makes me look more put-together instantly, and I love how instinctive it is to use, simply dab and blend with your fingertips. 'Playground' – such an easy terracotta-nude – is the shade I wear on repeat."

Make Me Blush Bold Blurring Blush, £44 | YSL
“YSL’s Make Me Blush has become one of those forever bag staples for me. It’s the kind of product you can swipe on in seconds and instantly look more polished. The texture is silky, the shades are beautifully flattering and it gives that fresh, healthy flush without ever looking overdone. Safe to say it’s doing absolutely nothing for my blush blindness – apart from encouraging it.”

Vanish Airbrush Pressed Powder Travel, £30 | Hourglass
“As an oily girl, powder is the last step in my routine but also a must on the go, so I can’t be dealing with messy loose formulas. This Hourglass one is imperceptible on the skin, not cakey at all, and helps blur imperfections whilst blotting away oil. Plus, despite its small size, it comes with an applicator – a rare find in travel-sized make-up!”

Flush Balm, £26 | Merit Beauty
"I bought the Merit Flush Balm last year and it's fast become the most-used product in my rotation. It melts into the skin so naturally and gives the prettiest wash of colour. I always dab a little on my lips, too. I keep two by my desk in the office for those 3pm moments when I'm looking a bit flat and need a quick pick-me-up – it works so well. I go back and forth between the shades ‘Cheeky’ and ‘Postmodern’."

Glued 4 Brow & Edges 2in1 Gel, £5.85 | Got2b
“I genuinely love this because it makes styling my brows and edges quick and easy. It provides a strong hold without leaving flaky residue or making my hair feel crunchy. I also love how versatile it is, as it works just as well in both areas, making it a staple in my beauty routine. Whenever I use it, I know I can rely on it to keep my look neat and defined from morning to night.”

The Multiple, £33 | NARS
"The Multiple in ‘Fling’ is one of those rare products I come back to again and again. It’s the definition of low effort and high impact – a single stick that works across cheeks, eyes and lips to make you look instantly more awake, healthy and pulled together. If you’re someone who applies make-up in taxis, trains or between meetings, this is the product to have in your arsenal."

Hollywood Flawless Filter, £40 | Charlotte Tilbury
“It's an obvious one but for me if I have to leave the house and have no time to put any make-up on, then I do a quick layer of Flawless Filter (in shade ‘Medium’) and it makes me look just a little healthier and more alive. You don’t even need a mirror to apply it, it’s so seamless.”
