]]> Makeup brands are always trying out new weirdly wonderful things to stay ahead of the game, and colour-changing makeup is next in the long line of innovative creations in the makeup world. Brands have started creating products that react to your skin’s pH to trigger a colour change in the formula. You can get colour changing blushes, lip glosses, and even foundations. Let’s take a look at which brands have pulled out all the stops to create these mesmerising products. 

Youthforia – BYO Blush

You may be confused as to how this green goop is a blush – but hear us out. When it comes in contact with your skin, the formula reacts to components in your natural oils and instantly turns into the perfect pink shade for your skin. It beautifully emphasises your natural undertones and gives you a perfect sun-kissed glow. Because of the serum formula, it effortlessly glided over your skin and can basically double up as a highlighter as well. 

@daceycash tried out the BYO Blush in a TikTok. As soon as she applied a bit of the product onto her skin, it turned into a gorgeous shade of peachy pink.

MUA – Metamorphosis Colour Changing Lip & Cheek Oil

Not only do we love a bit of colour-changing magic, but we’re suckers for some multitasker products too. Makeup Academy’s Colour Changing Oil can be used as both a blush and lip gloss. It’ll turn out just a little bit differently on everybody as it merges with your skin to create the best possible shade of pink for you. Infused with Jojoba Oil and Vitamin E, this product is bound to leave you feeling nourished throughout the day. 

Charlotte Tilbury – Glowgasm Lips

Yet another godsend from Charlotte Tilbury. This lipstick glides smoothly across your lips, adapting to your colour and pH to produce a flattering shade, perfect for your tone, that’s bound to turn some heads. The shade Glittergasm brings out your inner pink and Jewelgasm gives you a more chic ruby red look. Side note: we cannot get enough of the packaging!

Kate O’Neil (@kateeoneilll) gushes over the packaging, formula and colour in a video posted to TikTok.

Florence By Mills – True To Hue PH Adjusting Lip and Cheek Balm

This balm may not look like much in its pretty pink packaging, but it could be the one product to tie your whole makeup collection together. A stunning shade of pink instantly blossoms when the stick makes contact with your skin, bringing some vibrant colour onto your lips and cheeks. This could be all you need to bring a look together. It takes only seconds to change colour and it glides smoothly across your skin when blending. 

No7 – Intelligent Colour Foundation

Image by Boots

Now here’s where it get’s super interesting. No7 has just made it a hundred times easier to shade match, by simply letting the foundation do most of the work. Again, like the other products, this foundation reacts to the components of your skin and shifts accordingly. The natural, mattifying finish leaves your skin looking like, well, skin! It won’t melt off throughout the day and keeps moisture locked in. It’s formulated with an array of natural antioxidants such as Vitamin A, C & E giving your skin the treatment it deserves. 

Dior – Addict Lip Glow

Image by Boots

Dior decided to hop onto this trend as well, giving is the Addict Lip Glow, which plumps your lips, giving them a flushed pink pout. The oil formula keeps your lips hydrated and glossy all day. Each shade of the lip oil has a distinct colour that it brings out in your lips. And before ruling out certain shades because they usually don’t suit you, keep in mind that these adapt to your skin. Even if no other pink gloss flatters you, Dior’s Lip Glow is made to do exactly that – bring out the natural colour of your lips and enhance it.

@spicybeautypsycho tried out the the shade Rosewood which flattered her natural tones perfectly. 

@spicybeautypsycho

Dior Addict LIP GLOW color reviver lip balm / shade: 012 rosewood. About the formula: • the colour adapts to the ph of the lips so it really enhances their natural colour • gives a tint (which i do looove about the lip products) • feels comfortable and quite moisturising (but i wouldn’t say its going to help your lips if they are very dehydrated) • glowy finish Has a delicate vanilla-minty scent. 10/10 <3 #diorlipglow #diorcolorreviver #diorbeauty #makeupreview

]]> There is no better time to reinvent your look than in spring, as the sun slowly comes back and flowers start to bloom; bright and beautiful inspiration is all around us. Embracing uniqueness and individualism is a major theme of 2022’s trending make-up looks, from vibrant statement eye looks in magenta and lime, to rhinestones and sparkles exploding from every part of the face (yes, even the brows). Make-up artists like David Velasquez (@mugopus on Instagram) and Nikkietutorials are of the consensus that this spring we’re bringing our glam A-game.

Grab your boldest palette and come with us as we explore the best inspiration for your 2022 make-up looks.

 Karol G by David Velasquez


Coloured liner is making a comeback this spring. The make-up trend first started in the 1950s with legendary high street brands like Max Factor releasing liners in shades of red and green inspired by Haute Couture beauty artistry. 60 years later, make-up artists like David Velasquez are reimaging fun and futuristic ways to flaunt the look.

The artist who goes by @mugopus on Instagram used a royal blue liner by Urban Decay on Colombian singer Karol G, providing the eye- catching and vivid look we all need to recreate for our post- lockdown celebrations this spring:

 Leomie Anderson by Esther Edeme


In a recent campaign for Blumarine, model Leomie Anderson showed us we’re stepping into 2022 with all the glitz n’ glamour imaginable. The beauty wore a silver eye, shrouded in rhinestones, with a Y2K-style glossy brown lined lip to match Blumarine’s 2000s campaign.

Her world-class make-up artist Esther Edeme encouraged us to embrace our individuality and flair when it comes to beauty artistry this spring, by crafting the look completely freestyle!

To create the looks, Edeme used:

 Barbie Ferreira


If there’s anyone we’re relying on for our Spring make-up inspo, it’s Euphoria’s Barbie Ferreira. Not only is she a pioneer of adventurous make-up on the show, posting to her Instagram this week, the star looked like a real-life Barbie in an all-pink eyeshadow and lip look, proving bright colours are here to stay this year.

 Ariana Grande


Ariana is all about letting our make-up creativity flow free after being constrained by the pandemic. With the launch of her make-up line R.E.M beauty, Ariana showcased the opportunities to be had with her new line in a recent post, in which she sported her classic cat-liner with a futuristic cream shadow and a nude lip.

 Megan Fox by Jenna Kristina

Megan decided it was time for some colour after her iconic all-black D&G show looks. Her make-up artist Jenna Kristina took a subtle approach to the colourful beauty trend by adding a citrusy orange shade to Megan’s inner eye to match her nails by Brittney Boyce. Fox proves even our day-to-day looks deserve a pop of colour after enduring the sombreness of 2021.

 Nikkietutorials with Jade Thriwall


With Valentine’s Day on the way, it’s the perfect time to seek some pink and red make-up inspo. Beauty goddesses Nikkietutorials and Little mix’s Jade Thirwall used the new Beautybay x Jade collab palette to create dramatic pink looks to make all the boys wink this Feb 14th.

Jade’s palette is perfect for the upcoming spring and summer seasons as it features 42 vivid shades in purple and magenta hues. Get yours here:

 Chiara Ferragni by Manuele Mameli

 Fashion and Celebrity Glam Artist Manuele Mameli decided colour and sparkle shouldn’t be exclusive to the runway during last week’s Haute Couture shows in Paris. Painting the face of influencer Chiara Ferragni ready for her appearance at Dior’s fashion show, he let her eyes do the talking with a bright green look, perfect for the spring/ summer show.

 Latto by David Velasquez


Rhinestones are set to become an essential feature of our daily looks this season, proving ‘extra’ is no longer part of our vocabulary. We will make every occasion glam worthy this spring.

Helping to popularise the look is American rapper Latto. The singer celebrated reaching the top 40 with a super glam eye look, sporting silver gemstones by MUA David Velasquez who used Maybelline make-up to create the staggering look.

 Lolo Zouai

Musician Lolo Zouai served a fitting futuristic, sci-fi make-up look to promote her upcoming Future Nostalgia tour. Sporting a fresh shade of turquoise on her eyes with a nude lip, the star confirms that we’re looking to the future when it comes to spring glam.

]]> Each week our favourite celebrities take to instagram to showcase their best beauty looks. From full on glam and crazy creations, to subtle glows and beautifully bare skin, here are the makeup  memo’s for this week from yours truly.  

Colour Kick 

It was all about the green this week for Elsa Hosk, who was caught rocking a green knit, bucket  hat and eye shadow to match, obviously! Keeping the base of her face natural using peachy  shades to mimic the natural essence of her skin, Elsa went all out when it came to her eyes with a  generous sweeping of grungy green across the eyelids, shadowing her beautiful blues.

The Airbrush Effect  

Giving us flawless skin envy, Leomie Anderson looked filter fabulous as she posed for her  followers in an understated street style ‘fit. Glowy and radiant, Leomie is everyday beauty goals. 

Ruby Red  

In line with her signature look, Megan Fox took to Instagram recently to debut yet another racy  red lip. Opting for a slightly darker toned ruby then her classic bright shade, Megan looked equal  parts devilish and delightful in her selfie of the week.

Pretty In Pink  

Pink from tip to toe, Leonie Hanne is looking princess perfect in her latest snap for the gram  today. A dusting of pink has, as if by magic, landed immaculately upon her eyes, lips and cheeks,  serving us the ultimate pretty girl glam. This look is one for the boys … wink, wink!

Beauty Beneath  

Beauty isn’t just about the makeup or creating transcendent looks, so this week we wanted to  celebrate the beauty beneath the glam and reveal how spectacular our skin really is. A prime  example of someone who captures the essence of natural beauty so well is rising star Mia Regan,  who looked sunny and fresh faced in one of her many no makeup looks.

Blushed Up  

Is it hot in here? Because we’re blushing up! In images showcasing her latest velvet collection for  swimwear label, Inamorata, Emily has nailed the rosy cheek look. While hot and flustered might  not sound so cute, it certainly looks it and is one we will be rushing to recreate right away!

Outta This World  

If Iris Law wasn’t cool enough with her bleached buzz cut or her Y2K inspired ‘fits, then her latest  wild makeup look sure is! Featuring spray painted hair graphics, 3D nail art, and Avatar-esque  body paint, Iris was giving off the ultimate alien vibes in her recent campaign for JW Anderson and we are here for it.

]]> As we scroll through our Instagram feeds we are constantly inundated with Instagram beauty looks that we are desperate to achieve but seem impossible to recreate. But with so many special products out there and a whole lot of inspiration, how hard can it really be? From dewy sun-kissed glows to dramatic stand-out looks, we’re here, alongside Instagram’s best of the best to show you how to achieve your next makeup look.

Hailey Bieber

Hailey is the queen of natural glam and once again this effortless look perfectly accentuates the beauty of her natural features. To recreate Hailey’s look in your own way, play around with natural hues and creamy textures that will simply elevate your organic beauty. This is how to master the ultimate no-makeup makeup look like Hailey does so well.

Jourdan Dunn

You can’t go wrong with a smoky eye and this easy to achieve look can be as subtle or dramatic as you like. Follow Jourdan’s lead and take your eyeliner around your eyes and right up high, followed by a dark shaded shadow and blend, blend, blend to create the ultimate smoky effect.

Elsa Hosk

Taking to Instagram to debut her recent makeup look, Elsa treated us to a smoking hot display with a sexy red lip. With her blonde locks hanging softly and her fair skin the perfect makeup base, this look was simple but ultra-effective. While a red lip may seem daunting and the bold pop of colour isn’t for everyone, there are many ways to pull off a red lip successfully. Choose a sheer shade that you can layer on to suit your personal taste, alternatively try experimenting with a more neutral-toned red that could appear a little less intense than Elsa’s does here.

Millie Hannah

If there is one thing that the models of Instagram have taught us over the past 2 years it’s that all you really need is a little bit of blush. If we could only use one item of makeup for the rest of our lives it would hands down have to be blush. This multi-purpose product brings life to your face with a healthy flush of radiant colour. Swipe across the cheeks, lips, nose, and eyelids for a (no damage) sun-kissed look.

Lady Gaga

Gaga’s latest look for the premiere of her new movie, House of Gucci, was just as dramatic as the story itself. It was all about the eyes with this makeup look as smoky black and glittering purple circled around her optics giving an extra dose of height and shadow. Don’t be afraid to get busy with colours as you can achieve great results just like Gaga.

Cindy Kimberly

https://www.instagram.com/p/CWLqJzSA71w/

Cindy’s look is all about the glow. That dewy appearance that we all so desperately crave, particularly in the winter months when our skin is feeling grey and a little bit dull, is surprisingly super easy to achieve. Take a few staple products and use them to your advantage, highlighting the inner corners of your eyes, on top of the cheekbones, and down the nose to really give yourself that glow. Or drench your face with dew, because why not?!

Tashi Rodriguez

We all want a bit of bronze to give us that kissed-by-the-sun look and Tashi’s nighttime glam shows us just how to give our faces an all over flush. A natural brown tone can be taken all over the face to add warmth and dimension while setting the base for those extra drops of evening glamour. Here are the best bronzers to add to your makeup collection.

Dua Lipa

Dua Lipa’s latest look is modest and classy, hitting the nail on the head of sophisticated elegance as per usual. Not too much but not too little, her slicked-back hair sits back, letting her face do all the talking. Pinky nudes are spread across the high points of her face, while hints of metallic sparkle add dazzle and glamour. This versatile look is great for any occasion.

As the temperatures are rising in the UK (finally!) we are switching up our wardrobes and it only makes sense to do the same with our makeup bags. If you’re in the market for reliable recommendations to embrace the trends and the weather, look no further – we’ve gathered key products that are go-to for the big names in the makeup artistry world. You’re welcome.

Aimee Cream Blush Colour in Peach Pop

Caroline Barnes (who has worked with the likes of Cheryl Cole and Kylie Minogue) backs this product as the best coral blush on the market right now. Universally flattering with a soft, velvety texture it won’t crease and will leave you with a glossy glow.

Fenty Beauty’s Pro Filt’r Foundation

Celebrity makeup artist Vincent Oquendo says he keeps this foundation in his ‘arsenal of tools.’ With a vast array of shades to choose from the range is super inclusive as well as being long-wearing, easily absorbed and buildable. With clients such as Dove Cameron and Catherine Zeta Jones in his roster (as well as being a bonified celebrity in his own right), we will 100% listen to him for what products we should be wearing this summer.

Smashbox Oil and Shine Control Primer

Prepping before applying your base is essential to make your makeup stay on all day in the summer heat. New York City-based Joseph Carrillo loves the Smashbox Primer that staves off any shine before cracking on with the base.

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser Natural Skin Perfector

Because who wants to wear a full coverage foundation in scorching weather? Makeup artist Robert Sesneck (who works with Adriana Lima and Julianne Moore) suggests the Laura Mercier primer, as it’s oil-free and will leave a sheerer appearance on the skin.

Charlotte Tilbury Eyes to Mesmerize Cream Eyeshadow

Industry veteran Adam Burrell recommends the Charlotte Tilbury Eyes to Mesmerize Cream Shadow as his favourite eye product for the summer. ‘Pairing it with the brand’s Colour Chameleons is a quick way to create a professional-level eye look that’s long-wearing and waterproof’ he explains. The range includes 9 flattering and crease-proof shades – we love it in Champagne.

YSL Couture Clutch

Paul Garcia, YSL Beauty Director of Education and Artistry tells TZR that he loves the YSL Couture Clutch as a liner for a graphic eye look saying, ‘The eye shadow palettes come with ten bold and easy shades all housed in a clutch as the ultimate accessory.’

Whether you are bringing out your best features or defining and sculpting, contouring is an art.

]]> It’s hard to imagine a time when we didn’t contour our faces – the technique is truly a game-changer. Whether you are bringing out your best features or defining and sculpting, contouring is an art. 21st august 4th September

Allow us to explain the difference between a bronzer and a good contour. Bronzer is warm-toned and says ‘I’ve just come from the beach in the Maldives,’ it can be used all over your face but better suited to where the sun would naturally hit. A contour, on the other hand, is a cooler tone that is put in a specific placement on the face to replicate a shadow, unlike bronzer it is designed to take warmth away from the face.

So, here is our roundup of the best palettes which you can select to create your ideal look.

MAC Studio Fix Scult and Shape Contour Palette

Three seamless glow-getting highlighters and three contour powders mean this is the ultimate face-framing palette. Build as much as your heart desires, these highlighters will have a soft-focus finish and can even be used as a contour blush.

Too Faced Cocoa Contour Palette

This palette has a range of warm and cool bronzer shades, meaning it’s ideal for a range of undertones. Bonus: all shades double up as an eye shadow it’ll fill your makeup bag with a lovely chocolate scent.

Kevyn Aucoin The Contour Book The Art Of Sculpting And Defining Volume 3

Kevin Aucoin had been practicing sculpting and defining with makeup ages before the launch of his eponymous line – which has become known for its natural array of contouring products. The Art of Sculpting contains two defining shades, two highlighters and a sun-kissed shade blusher. All of which have a creamy finish and buildable.

Smashbox The Cali Contour

Smashbox was one of the first brands to pioneer the contour palette, and they remain top of the charts. The Cali Contour Pallette is great for faking that LA glow with its range of beautiful shimmers and warm/cool-toned mattes.

Charlotte Tilbury The Hollywood Contour Duo

These are what you need in your makeup arsenal to achieve a candlelit complexion and carve out drop-dead cheekbones. The Hollywood Contour Wand has a cushion applicator for a super blendable mega-watt finish and the Hollywood Beauty Light Wand is a rose gold highlighter for all skin tones.  

Makeup by Mario SoftSculpt Shaping Stick

What would this article be without mentioning King of Contour himself, Mario Dedivanovic? Makeup artist to the formidable Kim Kardashian West, they both have put contouring on the map and now subsequently have very successful beauty lines – especially these face shaping kits. We’d recommend his SoftSculpt collection which comes in 6 different shades which are amazingly blendable and leave no signs of cakiness.
