Bare by Vogue Liquid Body Illuminator
“The way this body illuminator saves my skin (quite literally!) on the regular. If, like me, you are a pasty girl who’s constantly pressed for time, and you can’t stand the painstaking self-tan process, this is the perfect product for you. It casts a gorgeous golden-toned glow across your body – plus it’s easy to apply, doesn’t feel sticky, and reflects light to give a luminous effect that’s made for the summer. Just don’t touch your clothes until you’ve washed your hands post-application!” – Penny, Beauty Editor
Coola Classic Sunscreen Face Mist SPF50
'I'm not always great at remembering my daily SPF but I never forget with Coola’s SPF50 Face Mist – because it gives such glowy afternoon in the sun look, fusing your makeup together seamlessly! It leaves no white residue and sinks in almost instantly. My ultimate beauty discovery of 2025!” – Kirsty, Senior Beauty Marketing Manager
Benefit Dew La La Liquid Glow Highlighter
“Dew La La – my most-needed product for summer! I love this highlighter so much. It’s perfect for when you need that lit-from-within glow but want something super light on your face. I am not a huge makeup wearer and hate the feeling of a heavy base formulas, but this gives a dewy finish with weightless coverage. It’s perfect!” - Olivia, Social Producer
Lancôme Génifique Ultimate Serum
“Lancôme Génifique is my ultimate year-round glow booster! Packed with skincare ingredients like beta glucan and hyaluronic acid, it’s my Holy Grail for keeping my skin radiant and hydrated, especially through the hot, dry summer months.” – Sophie, Senior Social Media Executive
Benefit Hoola Wave Light Cream Bronzer
“Benefit’s new Hoola bronzer is my go-to for my 'no makeup' makeup days, giving me such a bronzy glow while also being super-natural and radiant. The creamy formula allows for a really easy application and pairs really nicely with other cream products. It’ll also be perfect for my upcoming holiday when I don’t want to wear foundation and a bit of bronzer is all I need!” – Chloe, Senior Marketing Manager
ICONIC London Prep-Set-Glow
“This is my favourite setting spray because it gives my skin such a gorgeous, dewy glow while setting my makeup perfectly. It feels super refreshing and adds just the right touch of shimmer – I always go back to this one, no matter how many new beauty formulas I road-test!” Charlotte, Senior Brand Marketing Executive
