The Lipstick
You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who’s not heard of Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk Lipstick. This cult-favourite lipstick is loved by bloggers, models and makeup artists worldwide due to its moisturising matte formula that’ll give you the perfect, pillowy pout. Infused with 3D glowing pigments, this lipstick will make your pout appear plumper and wider for that full pout that everyone is after.

This luxurious mascara is one of Lancôme’s best-kept secrets.

But that’s not all – the SoftSculpt™ formula is enriched with ProVitamin B5 to condition your lashes, leaving them feeling soft and supple.
The Bronzer
No makeup collection would ever be complete without the NARS Laguna Bronzer. A favourite among celebrity makeup artists, the NARS Laguna Bronzer will give the illusion of gorgeous, sun-kissed skin. The finely milled powder fills in fine lines and imperfections for a smoother, more even-looking complexion.
Perfect for contouring, bronzing or providing a healthy, sun-kissed glow – this bronzer will make it feel like Summer all year long.
The Blusher
Your makeup kit wouldn’t be complete without a little bit of Chanel, and our choice would always be the iconic Chanel Powder Blush. The silky powder texture will add a pop of colour to your cheeks for a gorgeous, healthy-looking complexion.
