Tried and tested
It’s the gold standard when it comes to coral cheeks and Orgasm earned its cult status because it’s so universally flattering. Light metallic shimmer makes it a good night time pick too.
Pricey, but this is a beautiful product, delivering a wash of shimmering warmth to cheeks that’s really pretty. The large pan size helps to justify the spend and it’s deliciously scented.
Another juicy shade, this comes in a cute retro compact with a mirror in the lid, making it handy for touch-ups on the go. Soft powder and good pigmentation mean a light hand with application is required.
A brilliant bargain buy, this is a great dupe for Nars’ much pricier Orgasm. Sure, the powder quality isn’t as nice but we dare you to tell the difference once it’s buffed onto cheeks. A great buy. HHHHI
This budget brand out-performs brands many times the price and its polishes are great quality. This shade is a smart way to instantly channel this season’s colour-blocking trend for minimal outlay.
Perfect for posh paws, Chanel’s thin formula applies like a dream and allows you to layer coats quickly as drying time is fast. It can chip, so follow with a hard-wearing top coat.
A creamy, dreamy fuchsia that’ll work on cool and warm-toned skin, Revlon’s formula is great quality and wears well. Bonus? This particular shade is scented when dry!
Not the cheapest under test, but these reliable polishes perform, dry quickly and often need just one coat. Providing brilliant wear and giving a high shine, they’re a great buy.
For use on damp hair, this is the one when you want massive volume and hair that stays very firmly put. Apply into roots and then blow dry to fix into place. Brilliant for big nights out and humid environments.
Environmentally-friendly, this firm-hold lacquer holds tresses really well. Containing UV filters and good-for-hair ingredients, it’s pricey but the can is sizeable, so it’ll last.
The light spray doesn’t drench and makes this a good daytime pick for light hold. Non-sticky, you can brush it out too, so there’s no need to wash hair afterwards like there can be with some sprays.
There’s a reason this keeps scooping beauty prizes and the Very Volume version is ideal for keeping those on-trend big barnets on track. Buy one for home and one for work — at the price you can afford to, eh?
