Beauty <strong>The</strong> other day a beauty editor colleague and I were reminiscing about how lucky we were to have spent time right at the start of their journeys with people whose brands have become leading names in the beauty universe. Think: Laura Mercier, Terry de Gunzburg (of ByTerry fame), Eve Lom, Marcia Kilgore (I had a facial from her when she had a New York salon, long before she launched Soap & Glory, FitFlop, Beauty Pie), Charlotte Tilbury, Bobbi Brown… in fact, I was the first UK journalist to write about Bobbi, when she launched here, and readers of YOU Magazine broke the Harrods switchboard as they called to place their orders for her make-up. I feel incredibly privileged to have met these amazing women, and learned so much from them. About skincare, make-up AND business, as it happens. Right now, however, is also a very exciting time in beauty – and what I love is that some of the most dynamic brands out there are British. In almost every case, again I’ve been lucky enough to meet the founders and watched them grow their skincare and makeup brands. So, this month, I thought I’d flag them up, some you may know, others you may not, but they’re all worthy of having on your radar – and from each, I’ve picked ‘star’ products that I really rate. Little Soap Company Cotswolds-based Emma Heathcote- James has grown this brand from her kitchen table – literally – into a force to be reckoned with, in the soap world. Returning to the traditional methods of soapmaking, using beautifully fragrant oils to up her products’ pleasure factor, Emma tapped into a desire to simplify our lives, and to become more sustainably minded: packaging is minimal, and there’s literally nothing left to recycle, once it’s sudsed its last. My favourite: Organic Pure Rose Geranium Soap Bar, £3.99, with its wonderfully nostalgic scent. OSKIA Notching up an incredible 13 wins in this year’s Beauty Bible Awards, it’s been inspiring to watch this ‘nutricosmeceutical’ skincare brand grow. OSKIA was born out of founder Georgie Cleeve’s challenges with her own complexion; she now works with teams of doctors, nutritionists, cosmetics scientists and general skin wizards, with everything produced at their factory in Wales. My favourite: Renaissance Mask, £68 for 50ml, enzyme-powered and rose-scented, brightening and plumping skin in as little as 10 minutes. Neal’s Yard Remedies Ah, lovely Neal’s Yard Remedies – pioneers of natural beauty in the UK, originally founded by Romy Fraser (who sat on the committee I chaired, setting organic beauty standards for <strong>The</strong> Soil Association). Neal’s Yard Remedies are now in the safe custody of the Kindersley family, with everything hand-crafted in their eco-factory in North Dorset. <strong>The</strong>y’ve done a huge amount to champion fairly traded beauty ingredients, and to raise awareness about the plight of our bees. My favourite: Garden Mint & Bergamot Hand Cream, from just £10 for 50ml, which is properly softening and (slightly embarrassingly) has me sniffing my hands compulsively for a hit of its aromatic scent. Delilah Brit make-up artist Rupert Kingston – honestly one of the nicest and downto-earth people I’ve ever encountered in the make-up world – co-founded this brand after years in the industry, bringing us products that deliver the signature ‘glow’ now associated with Delilah, garnering legions of fans among make-up artists and red carpet A-listers. (<strong>The</strong> brand scooped seven Beauty Bible Awards this year.) My favourite: Colour Blush, £26, in Clementine: a pop of peachy, summery colour with a whisper of shimmer for a truly healthy glow. 83 priceless-magazines.com
