Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Powder Foundation
Great foundations are hard to find, but Fenty Beauty – Rihanna’s highly sought-after makeup brand – has changed the game with its opulent Pro Filt’r Soft Matte formulation. Available in a wide range of inclusive shades, it offers buildable coverage with a soft matte finish that blurs imperfections and minimises the appearance of pores for smooth and flawless-looking skin all day, everyday.

Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream
The Brazilian Bum Bum Cream has been making waves over recent years, and remains a cult product in 2024. Packed with fast-absorbing cupuaçu butter to deliver intense hydration and fatty acids deep into the skin, its most impressive effect is down to the inclusion of guaraná extract, which helps to visibly smooth and tighten the skin. For an extra glow, it also harnesses the nourishing benefits of Brazil nut oil, which is rich in selenium and helps the skin to protect itself from external stressors. It’s a bodycare essential that promises to give you a much-needed confidence just in time for the summer months; slather onto your posterior as well as your legs, arms and stomach daily for a welcome lift and the best results overall.

Allowing you to achieve beautiful fluffy, feathered brows that stay in place all day, this innovative product offers strong but flexible hold so that they still look natural, with its clear, non-sticky formula gripping each individual hair to keep your brows looking preened and polished no matter what you’re doing. The great thing about this particular wax is its versatility; it works just as well at creating the laminated look as it does a fuller, brushed-up style. So, you can customise your brow shape according to your day and mood, and try out a range of different looks to find out which one you like best.
