From serums and sun-kissed skin to every powder and gloss in between, our beauty radar has picked up a crop of juicy alerts. Uh huh, we know what you’re thinking – the world of cosmetics can be so overwhelming at times, with a new lacquer launching before you’ve even had the chance to slather on last week’s impulse buy.

Never fear. Our favourite beauty influencers are sharing their tried and tested essentials as well as some sparkly newcomers on the scene. Proceed at your own risk, because these makeup mavens have us piling our baskets sky high…

Kate La Vie
Product: DIPTYQUE L’OMBRE DANS L’EAU
The verdict: “One of the dreamiest scents ever! I’ve never owned anything like it . ?. I’ve worn this so much lately… The notes of blackcurrant, petals and fruit trees are so deliciously fresh and lively.”

Estée Lalonde
Product: FRESH VITAMIN NECTAR VIBRANCY BOOSTING MASK
The verdict: “This is an instant glow face mask which leaves the skin which a healthy looking, natural radiance…50% of the formula is jam packed with REAL crushed citrus fruits (you can imagine how incredible it smells) including oranges, lemons and clementines which all help to gently refine and smooth the skin.”

I Covet Thee
Product: OSKIA RENAISSANCE CLEANSING GEL
The verdict: “No matter how many different skincare products I try there isn’t one that I’ve repurchased as many times as this despite how long it actually takes me to use up a bottle, even with daily use. One pump per cleanse is seriously enough! Whenever my skin isn’t looking its best, if I feel like things are getting a little dull, or I just need a quick boost of moisture – I reach for this rose-scented cleanser.”

Teresa Vu
Product: SHU UEMURA STAGE PERFORMER SKINCARE
The verdict: “A shu-in for my favourite products at the moment? Definitely this @shuuemura primer and their famous cleansing oil ✨ I never understood why I needed a cleansing oil if I already used a cleanser, but then I used this one and realised that I didn’t need to look like ? for the rest of the night…whoops ?”

Zoe Foster Blake
Product: NARS SHEER GLOW FOUNDATION
The verdict: “I bought (and recommend) stuff that is creamy, dewy and medium to full coverage, cos I want the brown patches covered, but the rest of the complexion a healthy, natural finish. Don’t be tricked into creating a mask just cos you have a few areas of uneven skin tone. Nars Sheer Glow [is] luminous and medium coverage and I am a longtime fan and it’s brilliant.”

Eleanor Pendleton
Product: CHANEL LES BEIGES HEALTHY GLOW LUMINOUS COLOUR

Sharon Farrell
Product: JAMES READ ENHANCE WASH OFF TAN FACE & BODY
The verdict: “Aaaaand @michellecrossan_ made me do it. This instant tan is supposed to be amazeballs, apparently @jamesreadtan is responsible for JLo’s glow ✨.”

Gemma Watts
Product: NARS BORD DE PLAGE PALETTE
The verdict: “Four highlighters and two bronzers (Laguna and Casino, both cult) in the sun wash diffusing formula (which I heavily favour over their original bronzer formula). Sorry this isn’t funny it’s just a good palette.”

Sofia Honekman
Product: Glossier Skin Tint
The verdict: “I don’t wear foundation everyday, but the @glossier Skin Tint is perfect for lightly evening out my skin tone and giving me the glow I need. It’s pretty comparable to the MAC face and body (which is one of my favourites), but a tad less coverage and constituency is more light weight.”
