With Love Island's eighth season now at an end, you'd have thought we'd gleaned all the beauty tips we could from it, but this year's islanders just keep on giving. Gemma Owen, in particular, has become a bona fide beauty influencer during her time in the villa, and she likely had no idea until she turned her phone on after eight weeks of radio silence. Fans of the show have read up on the specific £5 eyeshadow palette she uses before date nights, the cult Fenty beauty buy she applies to boost her glow in the villa, and even the £10 contour kit Gemma makes a grab for in the Love Island dressing room.
More recently, attention has turned to Gemma's eyebrows. The Love Island star is now famed for her full and immaculately groomed brows, and while many viewers assumed Gemma simply booked in for a HD brow treatment every month - the islanders are allowed outside of the villa for beauty treatments, more on that here - insiders have revealed that she relied on three must-have beauty products to define her brows in the villa on the daily, and one of them costs just £2.50.
For the Gemma-Owen-level brow depth, the star eschews salon-based brow tints in favour of DIY option, Eylure's Dybrow. For definition, she makes a grab for Huda Kattan's cult classic, Huda Beauty's #BombBrows Microshade Brow Pencil - the super fine nib affords soft strokes of pigment that mimic the effect of micro-blading - and 17.'s Brow + Lash Lamination Gel, which Gemma uses to brush the hairs up and set the final look in place. So, now you know.
