We don't know about you, but we love watching people apply their make-up and are often curious about the contents of other people's beauty cupboards.
So, for like-minded people on board our beauty curiosity boat, we have an insight into Holly Willoughby's beauty kit.
According to the former This Morning presenter's makeup artist, Patsy O'Neill, a £11 primer from Super Facialist is behind the star's TV glow.

Formulated with colour-correcting pigments to even the skin tone and texture, as well as hyaluronic acid to hydrate the skin, niacinamide for a clear complexion and cica to soothe and calm inflamed skin. This primer works to colour correct, hydrate, brighten and soothe the skin. It is a cruelty free and vegan formula, which is available in two shades: fair/light and medium/dark. BUY NOW FOR £11.33 (WAS £17)
It's not surprising the primer is a hit, considering it has multiple functions: it doubles up as a base, colour corrector, nourishing moisturiser and soothing skin barrier repair cream.
The vegan and cruelty-free formula contains colour-correcting pigments to blur any imperfections and create an even base for products to be applied on top of.
The cream is also infused with skin-loving ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid to plump and hydrate the skin, niacinamide to reduce any excess oiliness and combat any blemishes, while cica has soothing properties to reduce any redness, breakouts and inflammation.
This primer is available in two shades, including fair/light and medium/dark. More Trending
Unsure which to pick? Super Facialist has detailed the best option for your skin type, and the method behind the madness – aka the colourful bottle.
The fair/light product contains purple, green and peach formula inside, which may be off-putting for some. However, the colours blend beautifully on fair skin tones to colour correct. The green colour corrector combats any redness, purple counteracts any sallowness and hollows particularly the dark under eye area, while the peach tones brightens your complexion.
The medium/dark option contains coffee, caramel and orange tones, which work to neutralise any redness, minimise the appearance of dark spots and circles as well as brighten the complexion.
While you can layer it on after cleansing your skin and before applying your usual foundation, bronzer and blusher, you can also wear it on its own as a skin tint.

Adam Collard feared Laura Woods' miscarriage was 'karma' for his love-rat past

Former Love Island star Adam Collard has admitted he blames his past "love rat" ways for bringing "bad karma" onto his relationship with sports presenter Laura Woods Adam Collard has revealed he blames his past actions for fiancee Laura Woods having a miscarriage. The former Love Island star admitted he believes his previous "love rat" persona brought "bad karma" on the pair. ‌ The Geordie star, 29, confessed he believes his dating show antics on the likes of the ITV show - where he appeared twice - and Celebs Go Dating brought negative energy onto his current relationship. The gym owner is set to be put through his paces on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, taking part in a series of gruelling physical challenges. ‌ Speaking on the new series, dad-of-one Adam explained his thought process. He told the cameras: "I know it's a terrible way to look at it, but I felt like it was bad karma for me being on dating shows and upsetting too many people. ‌ "I felt like that was some high power's way of being like, 'Well, there you go, that's what you have to carry'." He went on: "I was just a cocky little p***k, being a love rat jumping from girl to girl. I want to show I'm not that man any more." And revealing why he chose to test himself on the endurance show, the fitness fanatic explained it was the mental test he desired. "'I had a lot of stuff going on before I went on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins," he said. "And I've got to be honest but credit to the show, I actually think it had the most positive impact on my mental health." Adam began dating sports presenter Laura in October 2023. The following year they announced they were expecting their first child and in April 2025 they welcomed their son Leo. The pair have both kept their followers up to date with their family life and at the turn of the year, Adam posted a candid message on his social media. At the time, he wrote: "2024, the hardest year of my life." He went on: "I've seen lot of amazing 2024 posts over the last few days... but if you're struggling right now, remember that Instagram is a highlights reel, and if you're struggling you aren't alone. ‌ "Struggled with my mental health more than ever. Lost something important. Struggled with injuries. Suffered with addiction to painkillers and sleeping pills and justified it as 'it doesn't affect fitness' or because it wasn't booze. "Got diagnosed with depression. Prescribed anti-depressants. Lost family. Drifted from certain friends. Tried to reach out to people and failed. Felt lost." ‌ But he admitted he also had a lot to be positive about, including his son and relationship. At the time, Laura issued a gushing response. In the comments section, replying: "Proud of you. You're going to be the most amazing dad x."

Love Island fans 'work out' pre-finale dumping twist - and fan favourites are 'in danger'

Love Island fans were told to vote for which couple they feel are the most compatible - with those with the fewest votes being dumped from the Island - but there may be more... It was another dramatic night in tonight's Love Island, as Helena and Blu were dumped from the villa just days before the final. However, the final six can't relax yet, as at least one more couple are about to be dumped in what appears to be the final dumping of the series. ‌ Tonight, the Islanders took part in the Knowing Me, Knowing You challenge, hosted by Yas and Jamie. The Islanders were asked a series of questions, some light hearted, and some not so light hearted. ‌ Despite a number of arguments, it was Meg and Dejon and Shakira and Harry who came out victorious. To the Islanders, this was just an innocent game - but fans think the producers have added a savage twist... ‌ At the end of tonight's episode, viewers were told to vote for who they thought was the most compatible, with those with the least number of votes at risks of being dumped just days before the final. However, fans aren't certain it's all in the publics hands... Yas and Jamie placed in last place during tonight's challenge, with Ty and Angel coming just above them. Now, fans think they're already in danger with them proving themselves to know each other the least. ‌ They also predict the dumped Islanders will be making a return to make the decision, just like previous seasons. Dumped Islander Giorgio previously 'let slip' that he was going back to Mallorca this week during an interview on This Morning. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan penned: "This is when the dumped islanders will come in. Yas and Jamie and Angel and Ty will be the most vulnerable." ‌ Another penned: "'I've got a feeling that those with the least amount right might be up to be dumped by the other islanders and if it is and the producers let Meg and Dejon cheat I don't even know how anyone can say it's not blatant favouritism. I'll be raging." Others fear that Toni and Cach are in danger if the dumped Islanders come back. After Toni chose to couple up with Harrison over Cach, some of the former Islanders aren't her biggest fans. "GUYS VOTE TONI & CACH THEY WILL BE DUMPED BY RETURNING ISLANDERS!" exclaimed one fan, while another wrote: "We need more votes for Toni and Cach. I'm scared for them." There's just two more episodes to go before the live final on Monday August 4, but who will come away victorious?
