foundation
If you, like me, love a breathable formula, then this foundation will be right up your street. It leaves a stunning satin finish and has enough coverage to cover redness and pigmentation. People are bound to develop skin envy!
Soft Glam Foundation - Medium Coverage - e.l.f. Cosmetics
Despite it being serum-like, it really packs a punch with buildable medium coverage that lasts all day without drying out the skin or going cakey
Liquid Touch Weightless Foundation - Rare Beauty
The serum formula effortlessly glides on to give a gentle sheen of coverage, mastering the true-to-skin effect. There’s enough oomph to cover areas of pigmentation or redness but it’s a far cry from appearing cakey. The glow is unreal, and the skin c...
Glowy Super Skin Tint Foundation | Lightweight Medium Coverage
I have worked my way through many foundation bottles and this one has remained a firm favourite. With just a few light taps of a beauty sponge, it completely blurs my complexion and leaves a fresh finish without looking cake face-y. (Yep, dreamy).
M...

Dry skin? You need to get your hands on this foundation from Kosas The liquid consistency gives the same energy as my fave serum formulas, making it feel weightless and hydrating. It blends like an absolute dream and leaves a stunning luminosity that...
Revealer Skin-Improving Foundation SPF 25 - Kosas Cosmetics
The formula seamlessly sinks in and leaves a slightly airbrushed but natural finish. It's dewy but not overtly glowy: it simply makes you look like you have *unreal* skin.
Liquid Foundation & Skin Tints - Morphe
Let Revolution teach you a lesson in 'just because it's cheap doesn't mean it's less effective.' This formula truly deserves a place in your everyday makeup bag. It promises zero cakey-ness and zero excess shine but, still, with ample glow.
Revolution Skin Silk Radiant Satin Serum Foundation
It’d be hard to come across a best foundations roundup without seeing Armani Luminous Silk in the list because it’s a formula that never fails to impress.
It blurs imperfections with ease without clinging onto dry patches of skin and masks any redne...
ARMANI Luminous Silk Foundation Tekući puder - Douglas
This formula is for you if you want coverage and a semi-matte finish, but don't want to make your dry complexion even duller.
I don’t know how Nars did it but they nailed all of this with the Light Reflecting foundation. This works to minimise imper...
NARS Foundation Makeup: Liquid, Powder, Matte
Charlotte Tilbury’s Beautiful Skin Foundation is dewier than most: it effortlessly glides across the skin and lends a glow that’s so sublime it seems illegal to obtain – unless you’re walking the red carpet or your name is Rihanna.
It evens your com...
Foundation Makeup | Long Lasting Foundation | Charlotte Tilbury
This one is exceptionally great as it’s hydrating with a non-greasy, luminous glow. Best of all? It feels oh-so comfortable on the skin.
Foundation Makeup - Fenty Beauty
So I'm cheating here a bit. Hourglass' Veil Hydrating Skin Tint isn't technically a foundation, but it's just too good to leave out of this edit. The silky formula blends seamlessly into the skin, providing a radiant finish without any cakey-ness.
I...
FOUNDATION – Hourglass Cosmetics
The serum-like texture applies seamlessly to the skin for a weightless feel. The formula doesn’t settle into dry spots and looks just as good as when first applied (even if it’s been more than 8 hours).
It leaves the skin with a hard-to-miss dewy gl...

Vegan Foundation: Balm, Powder & Liquid - KVD Beauty
If your skin's drier than my sense of humour, you need a bit of Stretch Fluid in your life.
Stretch Fluid Foundation - Glossier
I don’t know what kind of sorcery went into this formula, but all I can say is that it works. It’s light, airy and leaves the kind of coverage that looks like you’ve got 10/10 skin rather than an expensive foundation.
I’m also here for the skin-lovi...
CC+ Cream Full-Coverage Foundation with SPF 50+ - IT Cosmetics
Estée Lauder's Double Wear is the kind of foundation that every party-goer needs in their kit. It has a lot to live up to, promising to be sweat, heat and humidity-resistant, and I can attest that it ticks each box.
That's right, a packed dance floo...
Long-Wear Liquid & Powder Foundation Makeup | Estée Lauder

Bronzer🪵
Cream bronzers are a tricky one to navigate. They’re either too muddy, too warm-toned or so stiff that blending them into your skin lifts your foundation and you’re left looking as blotchy as the world globe.

Silky and warming, this bronzer delivers summer sunshine in one swish of a brush
The Bronzer - Jones Road Beauty
It's the beginning of the month, you've just hit pan on your favourite bronzer and yet your monthly wage is already heading towards an overdraft... *raises hand*.

Laguna Bronzing Cream | NARS Cosmetics
Though, if shaping and contouring are more your thing, see to the cooler of the two shades to chisel out your cheekbones. A win-win.
Modern Bronzer Light | Duo Powder Bronzer Palette - VIEVE
Not only do we love Rihanna for her otherworldly singer and performance skills, but for her next-level beauty formulas, too. Not to mention the shade range of nine different tones. One for everyone! And you, Glen Coco!
Sun Stalk'r Instant Warmth Bronzer - Fenty Beauty
Rivalling its powder formula, VIEVE launched a cream counterpart during the summer of last year. So, if you have a drier skin type and are after pigment and a natural sunkissed flush, this one is for you.
Modern Radiance Cream Bronzer Light - VIEVE
Muddy finishes and hard-to-blend formulas can make contouring scary territory, but the hard work is taken away with Milk Makeup's creamy, easy-to-use mini sticks.
Oh and once again (soz to keep banging on about it), but this, too, won a Cosmo Beauty...
Matte Cream Bronzer Stick for Sunkissed Skin - Milk Makeup

Skin Fetish: Divine Bronzer - PAT McGRATH LABS
While the original Hoola has been around since the dawn of tan, if you didn't already know, in recent years Benefit have expanded their range with a variety of bronzer shades.
'Toasted' is our fave out of the four and is great for those with darker ...
Hoola Matte Bronzer powder bronzer for face | Benefit Cosmetics
When your natural complexion is ghostly pale like mine, a lot of bronzers can come off as too orange or too red on the skin. Not this one, though. The light-gold, matte powder flatters fair skin giving a subtle warmth aaand it doubles up as an eyesha...
Matte Bronzer: Chocolate Soleil Bronzing Powder - Too Faced
If your skin has pink undertones it can be difficult to find a flattering shade of bronzer – too warm and it comes off orange, too cool and it can leave you looking a little, well, greyish. Delilah's bronzing powder has a subtle cool undertone that f...
Sunset | Matte Bronzer - delilah
If you’re looking for a non-ashy, perfectly blendable matte bronzer then look no further. I’ve found that a lot of matte bronzers peddle the line of being too powdery and giving off a grey cast on darker skin tone but this doesn't. There are eight sh...
Bronzer Powder - Bobbi Brown Cosmetics
For a small(ish) bronzer, this one's kinda on the pricey side. That being said, the formula is so blendable it all but melts into the skin – making applying your morning face hella easy.
TERRACOTTA ⋅ THE BRONZING POWDER - 96% NATURALLY ...
blush🦩
Does it come as a surprise that I’ve crowned this the best cream blush overall? No, it doesn’t. Hailed as the best blush on TikTok and beyond, Rare Beauty’s blush is that celebrity beauty product. A little goes a long way since it’s highly pigmented,...
Soft Pinch Liquid Blush | Long-Lasting Dewy & Matte Blushes
Tiny but mighty, these blushes from Rhode are also great for when you’re on the go. They build up beautifully and don’t smudge around after you apply your sunscreen. This past Christmas, I swear they were in all my girlfriends’ stocking stuffers, too...
the pocket blush set | rhode skin
Glow Recipe knows how to do dew. Formulated with niacinamide, the brand’s latest venture into makeup is a ten out of ten in my book. I was applying the Berry Blush shade the other day at the office before an event, and a co-worker complimented me on ...
Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dewy Flush - Glow Recipe
Merit’s Flush Balm is my go-to for traveling or when I’m on the go. The packaging is ideal for throwing in your weekender bag or tote and applying when you need a quick fix. It’s extremely buildable, so two strokes are enough for a light flush, but a...
