13 Must-Have Benefit Cosmetics For Your Beauty Routine
A brow gel that can and will change your makeup routine. This has been my go-to for years, because it keeps my brows smooth and perfectly in shape for hours! Promising review: "Been using this product for years and won't be stopping anytime soon. Can fill in my thin areas and makes brows look so much thicker overall. No need to pencil. Takes 30 seconds. Obsessed still." —AlliePrice: $16+ (available in two sizes and 10 shades) An iconic Hoola bronzer because it's a cult favorite for a million different reasons. Silky-smooth and easy to blend, this bronzer will 100% become your go-to all year round. Promising review: "I always want a subtle contour or a full-on beachy glow, and this bronzer delivers that every time. The compact packaging is not only chic but also travel-friendly. It's a true standout, providing a sunlit warmth that effortlessly enhances my features." —SimmiPrice: $19+ (available in three sizes and five shades) Or a cream version of the bronzer if you prefer a balm over a powder. You're going to love this because it applies smoothly and gives you a sun-kissed natural look. Promising review: "The bronzer has great coverage. I really love the warm tone and the shimmer, which gives the whole look a nice glow. It also feels very light on the skin. The box is also very cute. Definitely would recommend." —ThaoPrice: $36 (available in five shades) A super soft pink blush that'll brighten up your skin and add a subtle yet flirty rosy hue. You'll love this because it's lightweight and buildable — in case you want it to be more sculpting than subtle — and so freaking cute! Promising review: "This was my go-to blush for years. But through moves and whatever, I drifted toward other choices. I get my makeup professionally done very often, so I've tried A LOT of blush. Once again, my personal blush wasn't right. What was that blush that I used to love? I immediately ordered my OG: Dandelion. It's absolutely perfect: just a hint of natural glow and PRETTY. I am so sorry I cheated on you, Dandelion, please forgive me. I'll never do it again." —CameraReadyPrice: $18+ (available in two sizes) A smoothing face primer because it'll blur pores and help your makeup last through the workday and a night out. All you need to do is dab on a thin layer — either as a base for your makeup or all by itself — and watch as it works its magic. Promising review: "This is my favorite primer. I fell in love with this brand a few years ago, and I absolutely love their primer! It's better than any other brand I've tried, and I like that I can wear it alone, without foundation, and look good. I just love how soft it makes my skin. It also has a matte finish, so I feel soft and look great with just the primer alone." —ShannonPrice: $16+ (available in three sizes) A bottle of Benetint, since we love a multi-use product. You can dot this on the apples of your cheeks and/or swipe it on your lips for a long-lasting wash of color. Plus, it's sheer, buildable, and won't dry out your skin, making it a great addition to your daily routine. There's a large chance that you've already seen this viral product all over your feed, as it's been around for decades. Promising review: "This color goes perfectly on my lips and skin. Lasts for a really good amount of time. Smells nice but not strong at all." —Sarah Price: $28+ (available in two sizes and three colors) A goof-proof brow pencil to keep your brows looking sharp. It's easy to use and buildable, so you don't have to worry about overdoing it like we did back in 2016. Fun facts: It's also waterproof and smudge-proof! Promising review: "10/10 recommend, tried lots of different ones but none compare. The only brow pencil I use! It's amazing and a good variety of shades." —abbPrice: $28 (available in 12 shades) A tube of their famous BadGal Bang! mascara so that your lashes look as good as falsies. It adds a ton of volume, and it can last up to 36 hours. Smudges and flakes? BadGal doesn't know her. Promising review: "This really is the ultimate in mascara. I will not purchase any other brand, and believe me, being an ex-flight attendant, I have tried many… this mascara does what it says it does. It stays. All day. It does not leave me looking like a panda by the end of the day. And also more importantly, it does not leave any residue on my upper eyelid." —ExLadyflyerPrice: $16+ (available in two sizes and four shades) A liquid highlighter, because you can always use a little glow on your face. You can apply it under or over your makeup — but either way, it's going to give you a lit-from-within kind of look. Promising reviews: "I usually dab on cheek bones and under my brows and the corners of my eyes (by my nose). This brightens all areas perfectly and is my go-to highlighter. Have bought many times." —Robin"Just what I have been looking for — tried so many others and they were never right. Just a dab of this highlighter and a quick blend, and you are good to go. So sheer and pretty. Worth a try." —Kristy $28 A concealer that offers full coverage minus the dreaded cakiness. It gets bonus points for being long-wear and waterproof — aka all the things you could possibly need in a reliable concealer. Promising review: "This is truly the best concealer I have ever used. I have tried thousands of concealers as I suffer from hereditary dark circles. Nothing covers them except for this concealer. This concealer has truly been life-changing. My dark circles have always been a major insecurity of mine. This concealer completely erases them. It has given me the confidence to actually look up at people while interacting with them. Thank you. Please don't ever discontinue." —OdelPrice: $29 (available in 30 shades) A setting spray that's part of their PoreFessional line and is designed to blur pores and keep your makeup looking fresh all day long. You'll love how this can survive the blood, sweat, and tears caused by your daily commute (okay, maybe not blood, but you get the idea). Promising review: "I work in a job where, on occasion, I have to stand up in front of 100+ people and conduct a ceremony. I use this product to help, as in the summer it can be very hot, and I have a tendency to start sweating! This helped me have confidence that my makeup wouldn't end up halfway down my face, it really is a staple in my makeup bag now!" —DanniroePrice: $17+ (available in two sizes) A medium-coverage matte foundation because you've been meaning to pick up something new for the warmer months. This bb is blurring and even has some skincare benefits; it contains niacinamide, rose hip extract, and glycerin, all of which can help hydrate your skin and improve the overall texture. Promising review: "I have been trying so many foundations out and none have suited me! This is a dream come true! Best foundation by miles!" —SamPrice: $47 (available in 40 shades) A volumizing Bounce mascara, a new addition to the Benefit line, makes your lashes look thick and fluffy. What makes this mascara unique is its applicator brush: one side of the spoolie has fiber bristles, which evenly deposit the mascara, while the other side is like a fine-tooth comb, which separates and defines. Genius! Promising review: "I've used this mascara for months now, and it is the BEST out there, so so good. I always get compliments on my lashes when I use this. I genuinely couldn't recommend more. The volume is IMPECCABLE, and the length is too! Lives up to the name!" —GeorgiaPrice: $16+ (available in two sizes)

The best cream bronzers for a natural sunkissed glow this summer
Metro journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more The sun is out, which means our bronze game is on – and we don't just mean how strong are the tan lines, but how much bronzer we can wear to look naturally sunkissed, and then some. You may have heard the term 'blusher blindness', which is when people apply lashings of rouge to their cheeks it's obvious they are wearing make-up. Well, we have that but with bronzer. We can't get enough of it. When I first started dabbling into the world of beauty as a teenager, my first go-to was bronzer, which was described to me as 'the JLo glow', and the phrase has stuck with me ever since. From matte to shimmer, powder, stick to liquid and cream bronzers, we have tried (and loved) them all. However, there is one standout formula that has recently topped the charts. According to John Lewis, searches for 'cream bronzer' are up by 114% in the last week alone, which speaks volumes. Now we know what you're probably thinking. Cream bronzer can smudge, melt off, drip, and is not the most longlasting, or you may be thinking it will leave you with dark streaks on your cheeks and a glaring contrast to your natural skin. But you'd be wrong. Cream bronzer has come a long way since the hey days of Maybelline's Dream Matte Mousse. More Trending But a cream bronzer is not to be confused with a liquid bronzer or stick bronzer, though they all have their place and purpose in our make-up arsenal. A cream bronzer is slightly more dense than a lightweight liquid bronzer, such as Glossier's Cloud Paint. We would say a cream bronzer is a hybrid of a stick, liquid and powder bronzer in one. As bronzer aficionados we have tried and tested a whole host of cream bronzers and whittled down our absolute ride or die cream bronzers. Whether you apply with your finger tips, buff into the skin with a brush or beauty blender is entirely up to you. If you're a fan of Benefit's iconic Hoola powder bronzer then you will equally love the cream version, which delivers the same sun-drenched bronze to the cheeks. With over 1,000 glowing reviews it really is a key staple. Available in five shades, from light to deep. BUY NOW FOR £33 Arguably the most iconic cream bronzer out of all the cream bronzers. With its lightweight formula it is easy to blend on the skin, offers a velvet-soft finish and natural complexion. BUY NOW FOR £50 We love a NARS bronzer because it is warm and offers a naturally sunkissed finish without any shimmer or iridescent finish. This cream bronzer has been formulated with Monoï de Tahiti oil, which is nourishing and makes this easy to blend into the skin without feeling oily. It comes in five shades to suit all skin tones and make-up looks. BUY NOW FOR £38 We can always rely on Fenty Beauty to help us achieve a radiant complexion, all the way down to its bronzer. This multifunctional blusher is lightweight in texture, but holds a strong pigment that will last for hours on end. It blends beautifully into the skin, and can be combined with other cream or powder products. Available in seven shades, which you can use as a bronzer or contour. BUY NOW FOR £24 (WAS £30) Beauty enthusiasts have been raving about Makeup By Mario's blusher and bronzers of late, which offer a sponge-like texture and velvet finish to your skin. The Skin Enhancer has been described as a 3-in-1 product on the website because it functions as a cream bronzer to inject warmth into the skin and define your cheek bones, while also blurring and evening the skin tone. Sold! BUY NOW FOR £32 If you know Charlotte Tilbury, and her products, then you will know this bronzer will leave your skin glowing, radiant and effortlessly dewy. This cream bronzer is a skincare and make-up hybrid because it has been formulated with hyaluronic acid and provitamin D3, which hydrate and nourish the skin.

Molly-Mae's glow-down from 'glamour model' to 'yummy mummy' Celebrity PR Expert, Ed Hopkins told Fabulous: 'I believe 'It underscores her journey towards authenticity, maturity, and sophistication and is likely to enhance her success and influence in the years to come.' Brand and Culture Expert Nick Ede agreed, and told Fabulous: 'Molly-Mae has transformed herself into a yummy mummy who has ditched the glamour model style for a more relaxed and natural look. 'She's becoming more down to earth and relatable to people and cleverly showing a softer side which will win her legions more fans in the process.' According to Ed Hopkins, Molly-Mae's chic new look could be 'highly lucrative' for the star. Ed told Fabulous: 'Molly-Mae Hague's transformation towards a more natural, chic look seems to be a testament to her personal growth and evolving style. 'This change, which has become more pronounced since she became a mother, appears to reflect her journey towards embracing authenticity and sophistication. 'It's possible that this new image could be highly lucrative for Molly-Mae. 'Her chic, understated style might appeal to a wider audience, including more mature demographics and high-end brands, potentially opening up lucrative endorsement deals and partnerships. 'By adopting a more elegant look, she seems to align herself with premium and luxury brands that favour natural beauty and sophistication, which could lead to higher-paying collaborations. 'Additionally, with consumers increasingly valuing authenticity and natural beauty, her new image could be both timely and marketable.' Nick Ede agreed and told Fabulous: 'She has started to promote some really great luxury brands including the cosmetics brand Tatcha and with her laid back look she will make a lot of money from brands looking to align with her.' Ed also noted that Molly-Mae's transformation may be a sign that she is looking to step away from her reality show past. He continued: 'Molly-Mae's transformation also seems to symbolise her desire even more so to well and truly step out of the shadow of her Love Island persona. 'The shift to a more mature and unique style appears to demonstrate her growth and her wish to be seen as an individual beyond her reality TV beginnings. 'By shedding the bold, flashy look associated with her time on Love Island, she might be rebranding herself as a serious businesswoman and influencer who is carving out her own identity. 'This new look helps her stand out in the crowded influencer market, showcasing her as a trendsetter with a distinctive, refined aesthetic.' Nick agreed and claimed: 'Shedding the flash looks she previously went for, she's also detaching herself from the Love Island stereotype and stepping out as her own person with a cool look that's not flashy but totally on trend. 'Gone are the 'look at me' posts and in are family style posts and trend led fashion statements.'
