4. Bobbi Brown Face Highlighter in Pink Glow

Weightless and blendable, the rosy and pearly liquid can be applied under makeup for an elegant sheen or mixed in with foundation for an all-over dewiness.

7. Guerlain KissKiss Shine Bloom Lipstick in 258 My Kiss Glow

While mattes are the most practical options for many, a glossy balm is a basic everybody needs. There are 20 juicy shades available online for Guerlain KissKiss Shine Bloom Lipstick, and shade 258 My Kiss Glow is a fail-safe option for many skin tones. 

Prime the lips, or use as is for a 24-hour hydrating lip care that leaves a healthy and shiny finish. Alternatively, layer this on another lip colour to achieve a customised colour and finish. 

8. Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Blush in 001 Pink

It’s yet another item that Kylie Jenner has managed to cause to sell out. The Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Blush in 001 Pink may appear to be too pastel to suit tanned skin tones, but it will result in a romantic flush. Highly pigmented, yet easily blendable, the blush offers a gorgeous healthy glow despite its powder formulation. 

If the shade is too intimidating, dip your toe with its sister, the 004 Coral, that will leave a much more natural tint to the cheeks. 

9. Boss ALIVE Eau de Parfum

Been wanting to smell like optimism? Check out Hugo Boss Alive Eau de Parfum. Inspired by living life to the fullest, the fragrance is contemporary and confident, blending soft and bold notes.

Top notes of sparkling apple and plum exudes lively positivity, while the powerful heart of jasmine sambac anchors the scent with sheer femininity. At the base of the fragrance is the magnetic vanilla absolute, bringing a sense of elevated comfort into the concoction.

10. Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia Eau de Parfum

As its moniker suggests, the fragrance is built around the white gardenia flower. Flanking the star ingredient are notes of brown sugar and jasmine absolute, making for a joyful bouquet and expressive fragrance. 

Perhaps almost as exciting as the eau de parfum itself is the flacon—a lacquered pink glass with the distinctive Flora pattern reimagined by Alessandro Michele, the Maison’s creative director.
