THE CULT COSMETICS

Glossier Play collection, from £12

Meet Glossier’s uber-fun little sister/brother/mischief maker. Play is the diffusion line that means business with glitter, high shine and rainbow bright shades. Our advice? Go for ‘The Playground’ (one of each key product), dubbed the Glossier Play starter pack. This DIY pick ‘n mix kit includes one Vinylic Lip, one Glitter Gelée, one Niteshine, and one Colorslide – plus the Detailer and Blade. It’s dialled up make-up, made easy.

THE SORBET LIPS

Giorgio Armani Lip Freeze Collection Lip Maestro, £31 each

Nothing says springtime better than a sorbet palette. Step forward Giorgio Armani’s new Lip Freeze collection. Linda Cantello, Giorgio Armani’s International MUA, took her inspiration from the icy, opaque pastels of 60s lipsticks and gave the lip colours a 2019 modern spin. With a base tone intensified by a clever white pigment, the sorbet shades look even more lickable.

It’s like lathering up in a fancy herb garden. If you can’t get enough of the aroma, pack the Rosemary Mint minis in your suitcase, £9 each.

THE POWER PRIMER

Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer, £27

Milk Makeup’s latest primer potion is already racking up a wait list before it drops. The Hydro Grip is a green tinted liquid primer that gives your skin aloe fresh hydration but adds an invisible grip motion for your make-up. Clever. Just wait 60 seconds for the product to fully absorb to activate that ‘turbo grip’ and make your make-up last longer – even in balmier temperatures.
