Huda Beauty Strawberry Latte Collection
A fresh take on complexion and lips that defines the next wave of glam. Built around an intense mauve flush and a modern revival of the iconic Y2K “LipCealer” lip, the collection blends café-toned warmth with berry-stained hues for a softly sculpted, filtered finish. Think rosy warmth, milky nude lips, and latte-swirled dimension.
At the centre of the collection is the Blush Filter Palette in Strawberry Latte – a quartet of shades featuring three ultra-pigmented mattes and one luminous blushlighter topper. The silky, buildable mattes deliver seamless colour payoff, while the pearl-infused topper adds a soft-focus glow. Designed to layer effortlessly with the Blush Filter Liquid Blush, it allows for a fully customisable, multidimensional flush. Available on hudabeauty.com.
Laura Geller Kajal Longwear Eyeliner in Smoky Taupe
Meet your new summer eyeliner hero. One of the best eyeliners on my radar right now, the Laura Geller Kajal Longwear Eyeliner in Smoky Taupe is one that’s worthy of your attention. A creamy, high-pigment kohl liner designed for smooth application and long-lasting wear.
Enriched with vitamin E and caffeine, the formula glides effortlessly along the lash line and can be blended out for a softer, more diffused effect. Ideal for adding subtle definition or enhancing eye looks with a smudged, lived-in finish, it complements the marbled makeup edit by bringing balance and depth to softer, multi-tonal looks. Not only does this apply perfectly and look stunning, but it won’t budge in warm weather. What more could you want? Laura Geller Kajal Longwear Eyeliner, £19, available at www.justmylook.com.

Handmade in Italy using a unique baking process, this creamy powder formula blends effortlessly onto the skin, delivering a weightless feel and long-wearing, natural glow.
Infused with brightening pigments and self-adjusting colour technology, it adapts seamlessly to your skin tone for a flattering, lit-from-within finish. The perfect summer blush to leave you looking perfectly hydrated thanks to its blurring, highlight effect. Baked Blush-n-Brighten Marbleised Blush is priced at £25 and available at www.justmylook.com
