Jones Road Miracle Balm ‘Disco’, £34

Compact, multipurpose and combining light-reflecting properties with a soft glow-y formula, this product is flawless skin in a pot. Wear it alone, or use it to bronze, highlight and tint the skin with a range of blush, bronze or pearl-toned colours. We recommend applying it to the high points of your face, cheeks, lips or eyelids for best results.

Just B Lip Spectrum, £27

Just B’s Lip Spectrum products ensure total flexibility. Equipped with two ends – a ‘pigment glaze’ similar to a traditional, balmy lipstick and a ‘pigment fluid’ comparable to a liquid lipstick – the brand encourages users to mix and match the two. One is lighter, and the other darker, offering an entirely customisable shade, texture and finish all in one.

Larry King Hair Care Flyaway with Me Kit, £19

If you’re looking to maintain a sleek bun or ponytail on the go, this wax and mini brush duo will help you tame unruly flyaways. Squeeze out a pea-sized amount onto fingertips or the back of your hand before applying it to areas that need neatening up – for example, pesky baby hairs around the hairline that won’t stay put. Use the toothbrush-style comb to secure everything in place.

Supergoop (Re)setting Refreshing Mist SPF 40, £29

Topping up your SPF is crucial if you want to keep your skin safe and protected all day long. For a non-greasy option, opt for this refreshing spray, which delivers a healthy and effective dose of SPF40. Free from silicones and parabens, it won’t clog pores or cause breakouts, and it’s also brimming with an aromatic and refreshing blend of rosemary and mint – perfect for a midday pick-me-up.

Jo Loves Fragrance Paintbrush, £40

Equipped with a handy soft-bristled brush top, this innovative product deposits scent straight out of a paintbrush head in a gel-like consistency, which can then be applied to your wrist or neck. Not only does it dry in seconds, the fragrance lasts all day. A low-waste option, it can be refilled by replacing the fragrance cartridge – simply throw it in your bag and go.

Dear Dahlia Paradise Dual Palette, £28

This double-sided palette features one split-pan eyeshadow and a multipurpose balm. The ‘Frosted Berry’ and ‘Ethereal Pink’ shades are the perfect pair to add a subtle, romantic sheen to the lids. Buildable, you can use them to achieve a variety of looks, while the coral-based dahlia flower extract balm can be layered onto eyelids, cheeks and lips.

Ruby Hammer 01 Magnetic Brush Set, £28

This innovative brush solution has three heads and a magnetic snap-on mechanism for eye make-up touch-ups on the move. Each brush is designed to do something different – whether you want to define, refine or blend cream, powder or liquid formulas – so you can create feline flicks or smoke out your daytime eye look, ready for the evening.

Milk Makeup Sunshine Under-Eye Tint & Brighten, £24

Brimming with skin-loving ingredients, this product camouflages dark circles using light-reflective technology, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid. It also plumps and brightens skin to deliver immediate illumination. There’s no need to stop there, however – use this to cover sudden blemishes, make-up that has melted away during the day or simply as a midday freshen up.

Ghd Unplugged Cordless Styler, £299

Ideal for travel, this cordless styler helps you achieve salon-worthy styles on the move. Pop this compact, lightweight yet full-sized wand into your bag to add a wave in an Uber when you’re running late or simply freshen up loose curls before going out. Pre-set to a safe temperature, the ceramic coated plates glide through hair to achieve a silky-smooth finish. Working for up to 20 minutes at a time, simply charge it up before you leave the house and make sure you store it in its heat-resistant case.

Chantecaille HD Loose Powder, £64

To mattify a shiny complexion, conceal patchy areas or just add a little extra coverage during the day, there’s enough loose powder packed into this brush dispenser shape to cover all bases. Delivering a seamless, suede-effect finish to skin, the super soft bristles thoroughly buff product into skin – plus, the self-dispensing mechanism helps avoid product fallout and waste.

Bobbi Brown Cream Shadow Stick, £34

These creamy dual-ended eyeshadow sticks glide on with ease. Sweep the product onto lids directly, before blending the colour out with a small fluffy brush or your fingers. There’s a choice of two colours on each stick – simply use the lighter shade all over, and add the darker shade into the crease, or towards the outer corners and blend. Providing an eight-hour, long-wear finish, the colour won’t budge, making it perfect for adding a little extra interest for after-work drinks with the girls.
