4 ICONIC Insiders Reveal The Beauty Products They Can’t Live Without

Advanced Génifique Serum
“This is an easy all-rounder serum I consistently use in both my morning and night routines. It helps with hydration, radiance and skin texture with the assistance of pre and probiotics to benefit the skin’s microbiome. I find my skin drinks up this serum.”

Medik8 Crystal Retinal 6
“I really can’t live without this product. I use a pea-sized amount three times per week as recommended by my facialist. It leaves my skin glowing, plump and keeps some of those pesky breakouts at bay.”

Make Up For Ever HD Skin Foundation
“This foundation is chef’s kiss in a bottle. It is lightweight with the perfect amount of coverage, natural finish and dewiness for my normal to oily complexion. And more importantly, it feels as though I’m not wearing foundation at all – one of my absolute go-to’s.”

M.A.C Studio Mattifine 12hr Shine-Control Primer
“I get quite oily in my t-zone, and with a face of makeup for office days, this really helps keep the shine in check. It sits beautifully under makeup with no pilling either.”

Benefit Fluff Up Brow Wax
“A new addition to my brow routine, but I find myself reaching for this one more and more. It holds my brows without feeling like there’s too much product on them and dries clear without any grey shadow.”

Ere Perez Moringa All-Beauty Creme
“I’m all about simplicity and hydration for my daily skincare routine. After I cleanse my face and go in with my Vitamin C cream for brightening, my go-to moisturiser is the Ere Perez Moringa All-Beauty Creme. I have been using this for two years and love the feeling of the smooth buttery texture on my skin, with its incredible natural ingredients leaving my skin looking healthy.” 

Clinique Moisture Surge Spray
“Before or after moisturising, I go in with three to four sprays of the Clinique Moisture Surge Spray for optimum hydration. I also find myself using it throughout the day on a dry skin week and even post-shower to lock in moisture.”

Benefit 24 Hour Brow Setter & Ere Perez Argan Brow Hero
“I like to keep my makeup simple while accentuating my boldest features. My two go-to brow products are the Benefit 24 Hour Brow Setter and the Ere Perez Argan Brow Hero. First, I apply the 24 Hour Brow Setter to shape my brows into position, then I go in with the Argan Brow Hero for a tint. The Argan Brow Hero is rich in pigment and the perfect shade – I never have to use a pencil to fill in my brows and they stay perfect all day.”

Coco & Eve Like A Virgin Miracle Hair Elixir
“I have a rigorous hair routine as I only wash my hair twice a week. Post-shower, the Miracle Hair Elixir from Coco & Eve is a game-changer! It provides shine and gloss to my hair and lasts for over 48 hours. I use a generous three to four drops and apply evenly through my mid-lengths and ends. I’m always getting compliments on how rich, shiny and healthy my hair looks – Coco & Eve understood the assignment!”

Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3
“In the simplest form, this product is amazing, and the science behind Retinal is fascinating. I have sensitive skin and have (regrettably) tried much more potent topical Vitamin A serums in the past. The Crystal Retinal 3 has been perfect for my sensitive skin, I've been using it a couple of nights a week for almost a year now and have noticed a visible improvement in my acne scarring on my cheeks, and I know I'll reap the long term benefits of using it regularly (smooth wrinkles & fine lines, even skin tone & texture and prevent acne just to name a few). If you're a newbie to Vitamin A, give this a try, and if you're sensitive, I definitely recommend starting out on either 1 or 3. Side note: if you're in the market for Vitamin C, it pairs incredibly with the C-Tetra serum.”

Loving Tan Deluxe Bronzing Mousse in Dark 
“As an avid fake tanner I've tried many different brands and products, and this is by far my favourite. The OG beauty guru Lauren Curtis hooked me onto Loving Tan many years ago and I've used it ever since. Every Wednesday or Thursday is tan day for me, so I don't even want to know how many bottles of this I've bought (worth every dollar). I love both the Deluxe Bronzing Mousse and the 2HR Express Mousse, they give the most beautiful bronze colour and I find it always fades really naturally on my skin.”

M.A.C Matte Lipstick in Velvet Teddy
“Some people have an emotional support water bottle, I have an emotional support lipstick. Truly though, M.A.C Velvet Teddy is definitely my most purchased lip product – I actually am due for another top-up). If I'm wearing makeup, 9 times out of 10, I'm wearing Velvet Teddy.

Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge
“I was a foundation brush girly for years! I made the switch to using a sponge a couple of years ago and don't think I'll ever go back, the Real Techniques Complexion Sponge gives the most beautiful finish for cream and liquid products.”

Clinique Moisture Surge Sheer Tint Hydrator SP25“I'm a huge fan of the whole Moisture Surge range, so it was a no-brainer for me to try this when I was looking for something for those days when you don't want to wear foundation but need a bit of coverage. The texture is divine, it's oil-free which is perfect for someone with normal to oily skin like me and the coverage is great for a tint – I mix it with a medium-full coverage foundation if I'm after a bit more coverage. I've lost count of how many people I've recommended this to.”

Make Up For Ever HD Skin All-In-One Palette 
“This palette has been an absolute game-changer for me! It comes with every cream product you need to create your base – foundation, concealer, corrector, contour, blush and highlighter. It’s my go-to when I can’t be fussed about choosing different products when doing my makeup. It’s perfect to take travelling and to keep in your handbag for touch-ups when you’re out and about.” 

Skinstitut Enzymatic Micro Peel 
“LOVE this mask from Skinstitut. It contains papaya extract that works to exfoliate, plus hyaluronic acid and B5 to hydrate the skin. I apply it once a week and leave it on for about 15 minutes (you can also leave it on overnight for a little extra boost), and it always leaves my skin feeling smooth and refreshed.” 

Clinique Moisture Surge Face Spray 
“A must-have for me during summer. I keep a bottle on my desk to refresh and moisturise my skin during the day.” 

AYU Perfume Oil in Smoking Rose & White Oudh
“I love the perfume oils from Sydney-based brand AYU. I’m a big fan of woody floral scents and my faves are Smoking Rose and White Oudh – you just apply a couple of drops to pressure points and they last all day! You can also buy the smaller-size roll-on bottles, which are perfect for keeping in your handbag.”   

Benefit Shellie Blush 
“I love this blush from Benefit! It’s the perfect peachy pink shade with a little shimmer. A little goes a long way with this one. I just apply it to my cheeks, a little on my forehead and the bridge of my nose for a sunkissed blush effect.”
