Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush, Space NK, £19
Awaken Peptide Eye Gel, Dermalogica, £55
Dermalogica are royalty when it comes to science skincare. This hydrating eye gel contains caffeine to reduce puffiness, and succinic acid to hydrate and minimise fine lines, and can even be used underneath makeup as an eye primer. TikTok is giving this product a lot of air time right now! The timing of Selena Gomez’s brand Rare Beauty making its UK debut and liquid blush having its moment are impeccable. The eager-to-please Soft Pinch Liquid Blush offers a lightweight flush that won’t disturb the makeup underneath it (making it buildable and mistake-proof) and comes in 11 fully-vegan shades. It’s available in both matte and dewy finishes and contains calming ingredients such as lotus and gardenia.

The Ordinary’s first dip into haircare is here to challenge the narratives that sulphates = bad. Their new Sulphate 4% Cleanser for Body and Hair offers a gentle-is-essential approach and contains SLES-2, a milder sulphate which is gentle on the skin, and cleanses hair without fading colour.

Beautiful Skin Foundation, Charlotte Tilbury £34
If you can catch it before it sells out yet again, the new 30-shade, light-medium-coverage offering from Charlotte Tilbury gives a dewy glow without caking. Infused with hyaluronic acid, this foundation also contains two unique patented complexes that help to reduce oiliness, and provide plumper, more even skin tones.
OUR RATING: WHAT WE LOVE: Modern Matte Lipstick in Cherub’s Kiss, VIEVE, £19
Creamy textures and powerfully pigmented, Modern Matte is a lipstick which claims to give you that highly-sought after flawless matte finish without the dryness that other products in this space can leave you with. While it’s been a makeup staple for a while, the brand-new shade extension offers variations of nude that are sure to compliment every skin tone.
