So when I recently ran into a friend and was blown away by her glowing and healthy-looking skin, I had to ask what she was using – and it turned out to be an old make-up favourite that I've since fallen back in love with.The foundation that my mate credited for her radiant complexion was Charlotte Tilbury's Beautiful Skin Foundation, a hydrating, medium coverage formula that promises to make your skin look three times more radiant and twice as smooth and plump.

If one thing grinds my gears, it's the constant need to reapply lipstick after every little thing: sipping a drink, eating a meal, smooching your other half, and so on. Plus, you must always keep your lipstick within reach for those necessary touch-ups throughout the day. While this might not be a big deal on certain occasions, like a night out, it can be quite bothersome when relying on your favourite lippy for all-day wear.That's why I've been loyal to one particular lipstick since I was 13 - it simply doesn't budge, lasting from morning till night.

If there's one beauty brand that always gets us buzzing with every new launch, it's Charlotte Tilbury.The beloved skincare and make-up brand already has some of our beauty team's all-time favourite products – including Hollywood Flawless Filter and Charlotte's Magic Cream – and now it has just dropped six stunning new eyeshadow palettes that have instantly topped our wish lists. Available to purchase from the Charlotte Tilbury website from today are the Charlotte's Palette of Beautifying Eye Trends, priced at £49 each and available in six different colourways, with one to suit everyone and flatter every eye colour.These combinations of matte, shimmer and sparkly powders come in neutrals and golden tones as well as more trending greens, blues and pinks.

If there's one beauty product that you can guarantee I'm going to try as soon as a new one launches, it's mascara. Despite the current trend loved by the likes of Molly-Mae Hague for going mascara-free, as I've got fairly small eyes and fair lashes, I wear a couple of coats of mascara almost every day – and the best ones have the power to make me look (I think) and feel loads better.

Despite being a beauty editor for over 12 years, I must confess that new lip product launches rarely get my pulse racing (unless it's a plain, untinted balm promising to cure dry lips for good). While I occasionally opt for a clear gloss, I steer clear of lipstick, lip liners or even tinted lip balms as I genuinely believe I look better without them.

If there's one beauty product that gets me more excited than any other, it's the best foundations. If my skin is looking flawless then I'm less bothered about what the rest of my make-up looks like.
