Facial Radiance Pads

£24 (were £32) | First Aid Beauty

“These are the gift that keeps on giving. They completely even out my skin and smooth away any texture – I use them religiously, day and night. I always have a back-up… and a back-up for that back-up.”​

Available at LOOKFANTASTIC.COM

Glazing Milk

£32 | Rhode

“Who better to trust with glowy skin than Hailey Bieber? This is the dream prep step – it’s rich and hydrating, and gives my skin the glossiest glow. I even tap it on top of my make-up when I want to double down on dewiness.”​

Available at RHODESKIN.COM

The Sunscreen SPF 50

£105 | Augustinus Bader

“This might be my favourite SPF ever. It feels as good as the moisturisers but with SPF50 protection. Someone in the Augustinus Bader labs deserves a kiss on the forehead – it’s that good. I don’t even need a separate moisturiser.”​

Available at SPACENK.COM

Swipe Serum Concealer

£20 | Tower 28

“My dream concealer. Light to medium coverage, flexible and hydrating – I’ll wear it to the gym and on a date. It never lets me down.”​

Available at REVOLVE.COM

Illusion Luminous Glow Foundation SPF 30

£49.30 (was £58) | Hourglass

“I’m deep in my skin tint era and this is the standout. It’s super lightweight and the glowy finish lasts. My skin gets drier in summer, so this ticks all the boxes.”​

Available at JOHNLEWIS.COM

Face Trace Contour Stick

£44 | Westman Atelier

“I will wear this on my wedding day – that’s how good it is. It blends like a dream, the tone is perfect and it wears so beautifully. No notes.”​

Available at SPACENK.COM

The Powder Duos

£69 | Westman Atelier

“Gucci Westman can do no wrong. These powder blushes are smooth, creamy and pigmented – everything you want. They blend so well and last all day.”​

Available at SPACENK.COM

Heat Stroke Cheek Tint

£27 | MAKE Beauty

“If you’re into soft, glossy formulas, you’ll love these. They’re super buildable, so they work just as well for no-makeup make-up days as they do for a full glam moment.”​

Available at REVOLVE.COM

Pocket Blush

£24 | Rhode

“These went viral for a reason. I take them on every holiday and wear them nearly every day. The finish is satiny and soft – plus they’re so compact.”​

Available at RHODESKIN.COM

Matte Bronzing Brick

£68 | Victoria Beckham Beauty

“This doesn’t get enough hype. I’ve used it for so long and even when I stray, I always come back. The warmer shade delivers the perfect summer glow, and the cooler one’s great for contouring.”

Ultimate Blurring Setting Powder

£34 | One/Size Beauty

“If you want your make-up to stay put all day, this is the powder for you. I’ve cried wearing this and my under-eyes still looked perfect.”​

Available at SEPHORA.CO.UK

Isehan Long & Curl Mascara

£22 | Heroine Make

“My lashes don’t hold a curl unless I use this. It’s lengthening, holds beautifully and makes people ask if I’ve had a lash lift.”​

Available at AMAZON.CO.UK

Signature Lip Sheer Lip Liner

£21 | Merit Beauty

“I’ve been loving a softer lip lately  – think of this as traditional lip liner’s cooler, lower-effort sister.”​

Available at SEPHORA.CO.UK

Peptide Lip Shape Contour

£24 | Rhode

“When I want something similar to the Merit lip liner but with more pigment, I grab the Rhode. The shades ‘Lean’ and ‘Balance’ are always in my bag.”​

Available at RHODESKIN.COM

Bisou Balm

£30 | Violette_FR

“The perfect ‘your lips but better’ moment, the colour is buildable, so even the brighter shades work on me.”​

Available at VIOLETTEFR.COM

Lip Butter Balm

£23 | Summer Fridays

“This is an essential. Phone, keys, this. It completes every lip combo and still works solo when I want to keep things simple. ‘Pink Sugar’ and ‘Vanilla’ are my favourites.”
