What’s In The Grazia Digital Team’s Beauty Bag

'As a beauty editor, I'm ashamed to admit I really detest foundation. I hate feeling like my skin can't breathe. I've found that Nars' cult concealer is near identical to my (pale-as) skin tone and offers enough buildable coverage to mask the nastiest of break-outs and darkest of eye-bags.

'When my parents blessed me with a head of curls they also bestowed upon me the most wayward of eyebrows. Though Benefit's eyebrow gel comes in a close second I find this is the only product that came tame my brows from morning to bedtime. I'm so attached to this gel that all the branding has rubbed off the tube as it's spent so much time knocking about my handbag.'

'It's a myth that highlighter needs to be mega-watt and glittery as this Glossier. stick proves otherwise. It's creamy and malleable meaning it can be built up and won't fall down your face like a powder highlighter.'

'Behind my oversized specs, my eyes can look like teeny chocolate buttons, to give them a daily dose of oomph I've become reliant on this eyeliner pen. Not only does it have real staying power (read: no smudges), but it's ridiculously easy to apply.'

'I have a propensity to spots so I'm quite clear that any moisturizer I use must be gentle and rich in made rom natural ingredients. Plus this one is handbag sized so I can combat dryness on-the-go!'

'Hi I'm Phoebe and I'm a beauty blender addict. I should be ashamed of this but I'm really not – I can spot a Beauty Blender dupe a mile off and reserve the nice bubble bath for cleaning my blender, using the cheaper stuff for myself.'

'I've replaced this palette so many times, it's become a staple. The only beauty trend I've ever been able to master is highlighting so I use the 'Platinum' shade and go to town down the centre of my nose, under the arch of my eyebrow, across my cheekbones and on my cupid's bow.'

'This foundation is lightweight enough not to look cakey but gives a smooth flawless finish, and has SPF 20.'

'Probably the most OTT mascara I've ever encountered, this really does make your lashes look like their fake. The downside? It stays on come rain or tears so it's pretty hard to scrub off.'

'If I'm going for dramatic look I reach for this red lip paint, putting on lip liner first is essential as it does seep when wet, but dries completely matte and stays on all night.'

'If I'm doing anything out in the big wide world and have the time to put in on, you'll always find me in a deep red lip. Wearing a warm, darker shade of red helps me rationalize wearing it at all hours of the day and still feeling together'

'It's only in the last year that I rediscovered my love for a blusher. Obviously, being a grown-up now I've moved on from the dramatic bright pink circles of my unassuming youth, which is why I love cloud paint's ability to blend and build colour gradually.'

'I'm a big fan of the thicker pencil because it means I have to use fewer strokes. Also, it's got a soft, powdery finish so my brows never look too harsh.'

'I mainly use concealer under my eyes so need something heavy enough to hide the dark circles but not so thick that I crease every time I smile. This little guy is my happy in between.'

'I really lack in the eyelash department and at the moment Bourjois is doing well at preventing me looking like a naked mole rat in the morning. It takes a while to dry but I lay it on thick (seriously, I have very short, almost invisible lashes) and it'll last the day no problem.'

'I used to spend an obscene amount of money buying concealer from the same brand as my foundation, but have found Maybelline's Fit Me to do the job just as well for about a quarter of the price.'

'Real Techniques brushes are probably the best on the high street in terms of quality and affordability. The Expert Face Brush is a good multi-tasker.'

'I feel like something's missing if I'm not wearing Dipbrow, which I've discovered is best applied with a slightly wet angled brush then combed up with a spool.'

'I've tried out tens, if not hundreds, of bronzers but always come back to Benefit's Hoola, which is matte, sparkle-free and now comes in a lighter shade, too (which I use when I'm hibernating in winter).'

'My colleagues will probably not be at all surprised to learn that my favourite lipstick is named after Kate Middleton. It's a rosy pink colour that looks great with LK Bennett nude heels… joke!'

'I add a few drops of this into my moisturiser every morning so my face and neck are well protected from the sun throughout the day. It's the first Summer I haven't burnt when surprised by the London sun…'

'This has been my godsend since starting Ro-accutane a few months ago (the joys of adult acne). I might be taking the world's strongest acne medication, but you wouldn't believe it with how soft my skin feels.'

'If there is one makeup product I use religiously, it's this. It's so easy to use that I can go from alien-baby to somewhat-put-together-human in less than a minute.'

'My longest-standing relationship of almost ten years, this mascara will never leave my makeup bag. I'm a long lashes over thick lashes girl, but this product helps me achieve both WITHOUT flicking black dots all over my face- could I ask for any more?'

'I have the pot, the tube and the stick in my bag right now, don't ask me why. Despite taking a medication that seems to dry out every last cell in my body, I can apply this only twice a day and my lips will stay hydrated and healthy… is it made from angel tears?'

'I started using this as a body lotion when I was a teenager because I liked the smell. 20 years later, my feels dry and itchy if I don't use it every day, and nothing annoys me more than those ineffectual little bottles of body milk you get in hotels that basically don't moisturise anything.'

'Of course, I jumped on the Glossier. bandwagon. To be fair, my dry and sensitive skin falls out with most new moisturisers I try but seems to have made friends for life with this cult product from Glossier. I even go to all the faff of decanting some into a smaller bottle every time I go away. That's how much I love it…'

'I treat baths like most people treat flossing: as an essential piece of daily (if not twice daily) personal admin. My guilt over the sheer amount of water I'm probably getting through has forced me to reduce my baths to two a week (don't worry I still shower, I'm not Elizabeth I) so when I do have a bath, I like to make it count with this very rich and deeply soporific oil…'

'I'm pretty lazy about makeup and tend to rotate around the same few products – this By Terry CC cream is light and no fuss enough that I can slap it on without a mirror on the way into work without too many tide marks or dodgy lines…'

'See above: this cream blusher is totally idiot proof and a tiny amount is just the thing to make me look more awake and less knackered when I've only got 30 seconds to spare…'
