best face forward

We’re a little bit in love with Code8 Beauty. The London-based brand is all about simplifying the bewildering world of beauty with a careful edit of luxurious, high-performance formulas with super-speedy application and universally flattering shades to enhance every skin undertone. Infused with argan seed oil and SPF 15 sunscreen, the Radiate Beauty Balm – a lightweight and long-lasting BB cream with a brightening, seriously dewy finish – is our new beauty staple. We love the AM/PM Tinted Lip Balm for its soothing, antioxidant-rich formula and subtle colour, while the Colour Brilliance Lipstick offers radiant and creamy colour in aisle-ready shades of classic nude pink. You can even design your own W-day lipstick at the Code8 Colour ID Lab in London (in-store and virtual appointments are available) where a dedicated colour maestro will help you to create a unique shade profile aligned to your skin tone and colour preferences. codeeight.com

eye therapy

Ticking all the boxes when it comes to vegan, organic and natural certification – and cruelty-free to boot – Natura Siberica’s products are packed full of wildflowers and herbs to bring a powerful dose of natural goodness to your pre-wedding beauty regime. Combining fermented northern cloudberry and wild raspberry extracts to support your skin’s microbiome, Lab by NS Biome Hyaluronic Eye Patches are just the ticket for erasing the signs of those wedmin-filled late nights. Apply the patches to your under-eye area and relax, safe in the knowledge that these serum-soaked marvels are infusing your skin with potent moisture and staving off the appearance of fine lines. naturasiberica.co.uk

Perfect Pores is an absolute must-have: the luscious blend of rose petals, cypress, juniper, electric daisies and hyaluronic acid leaves your skin feeling silky smooth, reduces the appearance of pores and smells heavenly to boot. angelalangford.com
