The Body Shop makeup buys you need to know about

This bestselling, vegan-friendly base has had a makeover. Now in 100% recyclable packaging and with a choice of 40 shades, the lightweight formulation gives buildable medium coverage that has a natural-looking finish -- evening out the complexion while keeping your skin looking like its best, healthiest version. And thanks to it being enriched with vitamin E and Fair Trade aloe vera, the Fresh Nude Foundation intensely nourishes while it covers.

Like sunshine in a bottle, these shimmer-free bronzing drops give the skin an instant summery glow that can be washed away at the end of the day. Add the serum to your favourite foundation for a touch of sunny radiance, or apply it directly to bare skin to recreate some post-holiday colour.

This pretty, dual-action product is a favourite of Emma Watson, and it’s easy to see why; it gives the face the kind of healthy rosy colour you get from a brisk walk. Formulated for use on both the lips and cheeks, this moisturising liquid stain can be blended with a few quick finger taps. It’s available in three flattering shades and is vegan friendly.

The clever, non-drying formulation of this Fair Trade marula-oil-infused liquid lipstick makes it accessible to all skin types. The Lip Butter glides on like a gloss, but sets with a velvety matte finish, making for long-wearing, creamy looking colour. And with six tonal nude shades to choose from, there is one to suit every skintone.

This everyday eye palette already has something of a cult following thanks to its super-wearable range of neutral light-to-dark matte and shimmer shades, which are The Body Shop’s most pigmented yet. The easy-to-blend texture of these vegan-friendly eyeshadows makes it simple to create everything from a soft daytime look to a glamourous copper smoky eye.

Lovers of powder bronzer, meet your new summer staple. This subtly shimmery, natural-looking bronzing powder gives the complexion just the right amount of sunny luminosity. And the smart split-shade design allows you to control the intensity of your glow, building up or paring back as desired, while the packaging is 100% recyclable

Slide into summer early with this gorgeously glowy dry body oil. The ultra-lightweight formula, which contains Fair Trade virgin coconut oil and glides on dreamily, gives the body and all-over hint of naturally sun-kissed radiance without feeling sticky.

Colourful and fragrant, these bestselling moisture-boosting balms use shea butter, marula oil and organic olive oil to nourish dry and damaged lips. Fun, fruity and vegan-friendly, the pocket-sized Lip Juicers come in a choice of five smoothie-inspired shades and scents.

If you’re on the hunt for an affordable, impactful mascara, we recommend trying this silky, non-clumping formula. Infused with plant oils, the Super Volume Mascara glides effortlessly over lashes for a lengthened, volumised look that won’t flake throughout the day

Perhaps often forgotten about are our brows, despite arguably being the most important as they shape our faces. Opt for the clear gel to keep unruliness at bay, or choose one of the three stretchable shades to enhance your natural colour. The tiny tip also makes application a dream for fluffy yet precise looking brows.

This no-fuss, multitasking powder duo has been developed to help create perfectly pigmented, natural-looking fluffy eyebrows that can be paired with complementing eyeliner. The kit even comes with neat precision tools for the job, packed into one portable palette.

Set all of your hard work in place with this hydrating spray. Living up to its name, it promises to keep makeup in place for up to 8 hours. Treat yourself to a spritz after application and feel stress-free for the rest of the day. Plus, it has a nifty blue-light filter to reduce the skin-dulling effects of screens.

Although this isn't necessarily a makeup product, it is one of the GH Beauty Team's favourites for effective makeup removing. Specially formulated for those with sensitive skin, the creamy, butter-like texture makes it ideal for melting away stubborn makeup. The subtle camomile scent is also a great way to help you get into the bedtime zone.

Another makeup remover, but this time specifically for your eyes. Pour a couple of drops onto a cotton pad (we love these reusable ones) and wipe the day off, or simply use your hands. Powerful enough to remove even waterproof makeup, but gentle enough to use around your eyes without any stinging. Finally say goodbye to panda eyes.
