The best bit? It promises to suit 99.5% of skin tones, which is perfect for someone like me who struggles to find a perfect match for my medium-tone, olive skin.

Sameeha Shaikh, Grazia's beauty writer, says: 'With a flexible brush head that bends to volumise and extend each and every hair, this mascara makes light work of quickly transforming lashes.

Sameeha Shaikh, Grazia's beauty writer,says: 'A new-gen tool unlike anything else on the market in my opinion. If you are looking to invest in an IPL at-home machine, this is worthy of your attention. A tech-first approach means it can deliver up to 120 flashes per minute and features a bigger than average 9cm² treatment window that enables you to cover large areas of skin. I've been using it for over a year and have noticed a significant reduction of hair growth, though it's worth noting I have previously had professional laser hair removal sessions in clinic prior to using the device.'

Sameeha Shaikh, Grazia's beauty writer, says: 'There is good reason for why Philips are leaders in at-home hair reduction devices. Ingrown hairs? Gone. Unforgiving dots (keratosis pilaris)? Sorted. A spontaneous legs-out moment? Consider yourself ready thanks to this device. It's led by a smart beauty tech like the Philips SmartSkin Sensor which detects your skin tone and indicates the most appropriate light setting for you to use while the free app instructs you through sessions step by step. This specific model comes with two head attachments for body and face, to maintain hair from top to toe. while I've tried various hair removal devices at home, Philips has long given me the best, lasting results.'
