Each week, beauty editor Sophie Qureshi picks her must-have product-of-the-moment
Smashbox O Glow, £13.50
Some make-up products are undoubtedly better than others – better texture, better finish, better staying power, for example – but most of them work in pretty much the same way. Every now and then, though, a cosmetic comes along which is totally revolutionary – like nothing else on the market. And Smashbox O Glow, girls, is one of those.
O Glow is a blusher but it’s not a powder blush, not a cream, not a liquid and not a mousse. Intrigued yet? This new product is actually a gel, but what’s unusual about it is that it’s completely clear. Whereas most blushers contain coloured pigments to give the skin a pop of colour, O Glow is completely colourless when squeezed from the tube. But when you apply it to your face, it reacts with the moisture in your skin to instantly give your cheeks a flush of the exact shade you blush naturally. Clever, huh?
The formulation contains a Goji Berry complex with vitamin C, pomegranate seed oil and marine plankton, so as well as making you look gorgeous, it’s packed full of skin-boosting antioxidants. What makes this blusher special is that whatever your skin tone – porcelain pale or golden tan – it’ll give you a pretty, rosy blush that perfectly complements your colouring. It also lasts all day without budging so you can get that post-coital glow even without your fiancé’s help..!
Smashbox O Glow costs £13.50 from www.qvcuk.com (Item number 223759)
