Beauty
Barry M Get Shapey Brow & Eyeshadow Palette,
£6.49. This tin of shadows and shapers isn’t going to win
any luxury packaging prizes – but for a kit that delivers
everything you need for neutral eye-shading, it is hard
to beat. There are four excellent neutral shadows – three
nudes and one with a touch of shimmer (because flat,
entirely matte eyes simply aren’t flattering, especially as
we age). First, use the brow powders and clear wax to
define and shape your arches – because that way, you can
determine how much emphasis eye sockets and lids need.
Waitrose Pure Cleansing & Powder, £3 for 25g.
‘Cleansing powders’ have been inspired by Korean beauty
rituals and are brilliant for brightening skin, buffing away
dead skin cells and very lightly foaming the complexion
clean; I prefer them for morning cleansing rather than
at night, but they’re a key part of my skincare regime
now. This option offers a level of performance that belies
its affordability. (The Waitrose Pure ranges are worth
checking out generally. NB: I happen to be their Beauty
Editor – but all that means is that I’m lucky enough to
be first in the queue to road-test their new products.)
Made For Life by Spiezia Organics Skin Solve Balm, from £6
for 10ml (a brilliant trial or travel size). This can be categorized
as a beauty product – it can double as a cleanser and
moisturiser at a pinch – but I think every beauty cabinet needs
this for S.O.S.-es including redness, itching, soreness, rashes.
These sometimes arise as a reaction to a new product you’ve
introduced into your regime, or may have another cause – but
I wouldn’t be without this little blue glass pot of skin-calmer.
Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder, £3.99. This is superfine,
super-soft and brilliant for setting make-up without
making it look flat and dusty. I like the ‘Transparent’ version
but it does come in five skintone-matched shades. (Just be
sure to apply with your fluffiest powder brush, is my advice.)
Unstung Hero, £20 for 250ml (at victoriahealth.com)
How could I resist wrapping up this run-down of unsung
heroes with a product whose pun of a name always puts a
smile on my face? In all seriousness, though, this brilliantly
does double-duty – as a citrus-and-tea-scented, summerperfect
Cologne that also very effectively keeps those
darned mosquitos at bay. Spritz with abandon, I say!
