- THE LONG GAME
The perfect cheek
colour to complement
no-makeup makeup. It has
a doe-foot applicator,
so it’s handy for giving
a delightful hint of tint to
lips, which outlasts your
morning coffee, too. - PAINT WORK
The makeup equivalent
of seam-free knickers.
Slather it on your lips
and you’ll forget you’re
wearing anything at all.
It paints on creamy,
but dries down to
a soft, matte feel. - HIS AND HERS
Tom Ford scents can
always be relied on to put
the sex in unisex. This one,
with cardamom, jasmine,
patchouli and leather is
no exception. It’s the kind
you’ll want to inhale,
rather than just smell. - GET THE GLOSS
It’s sheen, not shimmer,
that you get from this
uber-nourishing cream.
It’s also transfer and
water-resistant, so the
glow doesn’t disappear
before you’re out
the door. - PREP WORK
Packed with skin-friendly
pre- and probiotics, this is
like a primer for your skin.
Better to prepare the
canvas so everything that
comes after works better.

Random dance challenges (aka
Drake’s “In My Feelings“) and
a continued obsession with brows.
And that’s a very good thing.
A well-groomed brow is capable
of shaving off five years faster than
any tricked-up high-tech serum. That’s
not to say you want them to look the
same every day. Enter Benefit’s
clever new Brow Contour Pro –
it’s like the retractable jumbo pen of
your childhood, complete with four
different tools in one neat package.
“It’s the most pigmented of all
of Benefit’s pencils, so the colour
pay-off is intense and creamy,”explains the brand’s national brow
artist, Hannah Mutze. Best of all,
it caters to every brow style.
There are two colours to shape
and shade in, and another two to
define the edges and highlight.
“You can contour your brows in
a way that gives you the lift of facial
contouring – like a slimmer nose,
bigger eyes and lifted cheekbones- without having to be too
structured,” adds Mutze. For this, she
uses the super-fine tipped pencil just
on the edge to delicately fill in and
mimic hair strokes. “The best trick
for a natural brow is leaving
transparency through the centre of
the brow. Define the outside, then just
flick a few strokes of colour through
the length of the brow. Seeing a bit of
skin through the hairs is what makes it
look more natural,” she explains.
