In need of a glow-up? From lip-plumping gloss to mascara that mesmerises and the miracle balm that makes skin look flawless not fake, these luxe products are your saving graces by day and your pre-party essentials by night. For that no-make-up make-up look, this versatile, skin-enhancing tinted balm provides precisely what it says on the tub: miracles. With a subtle glistening undertone, the dewy, soft-focus finish is hyper-haute.

Working hard for your lips, this resists water, smudging and transferring at all costs, providing long-lasting coverage that makes lips look bigger, fuller and even more kissable. The It-girl look of the summer? Nineties brows. Featuring three ultra-fine tips and buildable pigment, this pen is designed for precise application with each stroke.



The result? A thin, elegant eyebrow, reminiscent of Paris Hilton circa 1999. Brightening any dull-skin day, this concealer corrects while enhancing the complexion. Pat it over darker circles under the eyes for an illuminating glow, and over blemishes for subtle coverage.

It’s perfect for defining sculpted cheekbones, too. For a full brow, take a leaf out of Victoria Beckham’s make-up book. The micro-detail brush, with four rows of bristles, can separate hairs to sculpt a thick, tamed look, or brush it through the eyebrow from centre to the tips for a bushy, even look.

Either way, the waterproof formula will leave brows bolder for 24 hours. Originating from LA, this gloss-meets-tinted-lip-oil delivers a super-smooth buildable colour, which glides on like a California dream. Plus, it’s beautifully scented, with the added benefit of vitamin E for hydration and protection.

Delivering a non-clumping, voluminous finish with an innovative brush that lifts and curves each lash, this mascara amplifies eyes in a heartbeat. Batting your lashes standing at the bar of 5HS has never felt so good. Here is the answer to the famous Korean glass-skin look, with an encapsulated pigment formula that changes colour to even out skin tone on application with a remarkable blurring effect.

Half make-up, half skincare, it contains SPF 25 and antioxidants, too, which makes it a cut above most foundations. Become a picture of health with this sheer bronzing cream. Its light-reflecting pigments deliver a healthy glow, while a recommended kabuki brush can be used to target the forehead, nose, temples and chin for a natural, sun-kissed look.

This will convince any scarlet sceptic to brave a bold choice. With warm red tones and long-lasting moisture beautifully packaged in an elegant mirrored case, it’s a reliable party companion. Think Hollywood glamour meets modern femme fatale.

Marilyn Monroe would approve. A fabulous blusher and eyeshadow in one, this hardworking powder is a beauty kit essential. Its no-crease, hydrating formula feels feather-light and offers a flawless, flattering dusting of colour that lasts all day.
