Base
This is my favourite foundation i have ever tried. a natural dewy finish without looking oily or greasy. one pump of foundation is enough to cover your entire face if you want a light coverage but you can build it up to something more. so many shades...
Soft'Lit Naturally Luminous Longwear Foundation
Same as foundation, i am obsessed this concealer, i must have bought so countless times already! Lots of shades, really good coverage and it doesn't feel heavy on the skin. Brightens under the eyes and also conceals really well too. Love it so much
We're Even Hydrating Longwear Concealer
There’s a reason this is the #1 setting powder on everyone’s list for 2026. It’s not just for “baking” it’s for anyone who wants their skin to look like a filtered photo in real life. The formula is ultra-refined and weightless, specifically designed...
Easy Bake Loose Baking & Setting Powder
This isn't your average setting spray; it behaves like a flexible top coat for your face. It’s famous for its dual-phase blue and green layers, just shake to activate the grip. I love "sandwiching" this between layers of cream and powder for a finish...
Hydro Grip Hydrating Setting Spray
Lips
this is the best lipgloss around and for a reason. hydrating, non sticky and lasts literally ages on the lips which is so good! also the pigmentation is incredible! i love the original fenty glow for a warmer shade. it's a fan fave for real
Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer
i love these matte lipsticks. i always pop a gloss over the top if i want a different finish but because it's matte it lasts lots longer than satin/sheer finishes. lots of colours and tones for everyone. they're soft on the lips too so no drag/tuggin...
M·A·Cximal Silky Matte Lipstick | Including Velvet Teddy, Taupe, Mehr & ...
morphe lip liners have become my new favourite lip liners! affordable, creamy, soft, a complete YES from me! pigmentation is superior and they last for ages too
Lip Liners
Bronzer
i feel like these bronzers are so underrated! they give you a lovely glow without looking orangey or cakey, i don't feel like they go patchy on the forehead either which I tend to struggle with a lot. for a high end product it's very reasonably price...
Bronzers | Kylie Cosmetics by Kylie Jenner
This is the bronzer for people who usually hate powder products. The formula is incredibly finely milled and infused with mango and papaya fruit extracts to help the skin look smooth and blurred rather than dry. It doesn’t sit in pores or fine lines;...
FENTY BEAUTY by Rihanna Sun Stalk'r Instant Warmth Bronzer
Truly "worth it" because of how comfortable it feels on the face. Unlike traditional matte bronzers that can feel drying or "tight," the Warm Wishes Powder is incredibly breathable and smoothing. It’s perfect for the 2026 "Cloud Skin" trend, giving y...
apart from the original which is more of a liquid consistency, these lip and cheek stains (which i primarily use for cheeks as they give a lovely, long lasting pigment) are a really nice gel-based formula that doesn't sit too heavy on the skin but al...
Benetint Cheek & Lip Stain
i have only tried one of these blushes but as soon as it runs out i am RUNNING to purchase again! and in multiple shades. lovely consistency, some are a bit more matte than glowy but they don't look super matte on the skin which is nice, nor do they ...
Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Soft Pinch Liquid Blush
This is the blush that convinced the world cream formulas are superior. The Cheeks Out Freestyle Blush is light-as-air and non-greasy, designed to melt into your skin instantly without disturbing the foundation underneath. It looks ultra-vivid in the...
Blush
Highlighter
this is a gorgeous gold/pink highlighter. super strong pigment so amazing for the girlies who love a glow. lasts for ages, creamy formula. no complaints
Cookie Powder Highlighter
There is simply no drugstore dupe that replicates the "How Many Carats?!" finish. The Diamond Bomb is a 2026 staple because of its unique jelly-powder formula that applies like a veil of crushed diamonds. It gives the skin a high-shine, "wet" look wi...
Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Highlighters
Eyes & brows
these eye pencils are a hidden gem i wish more people knew about them! matte or shimmery shades so something for everyone, ranging from staple colours to more fun colours. i love the grey shimmery one, it's amazing for a night out. soft and creamy on...
Gel Eyeliner Pencil
these brow pencils are only £10 which for a high end brand, in comparison to others, is a STEAL!! there's a good variety of shades, the pencils aren't too hard so they don't tug on the skin which is lovely and they blend really easily too. big fan
