Sienna Miller is well-versed on good skincare. Only last week did she reveal her 'French-girl secret to good skin' – a £17 French Pharmacy retinol. She favours expertly-formulated products from the likes of Sarah Chapman and is penchant to high-performance tools like the Lyma Laser, which promises to bring the experience of professional grade laser tech straight to your home. In the make-up department, however, it's Miller's 11-year-old daughter, Marlowe, who is the real thought leader.
Speaking in her Inside my beauty bag video with Harper's Bazaar, Miller admits, 'I live with an 11-year-old and for some reason that age group know more about skincare and make-up than anybody in the world'. It was after an 'impressive' glam session, when Miller let Marlowe do her make-up, that the actress began to look to her daughter for beauty recommendations.
One recommendation at the top of that list? Glow Recipe's Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Hue Drops, £32. 'She told me to get this, Glow Recipe - I think it's very trendy... it's got a kind of tint, it's quite dark but it gives you a slightly bronzed glow.'

A skincare and make-up hybrid, this combines the best of both worlds to provide just the right level of tint to help create an even glowy base, all while promising to take care of your skin.
Trendy is correct. With 12.8K posts on TikTok, its predecessor is the Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops, £32, a well-loved bestseller thanks to its ability to impart a natural-looking radiance without the need for shimmer and tacky glitter. Its antioxidant-rich fruit-filled formula, a cocktail of vitamin packed watermelon, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, makes it a skin strobing staple that helps to brighten, illuminate and tackle hyperpigmentation.
The sequel to this cult classic, and the one favoured by Miller, comes with all the same benefits but with the addition of pigment that helps to warm the complexion. The skincare and make-up hybrid is a sheer, buildable tinted serum that works on a wide range of skin tones to help create an even, sun-kissed look. While you can certainly apply it directly to your skin, we love how you can stretch out its use. Mix it into your foundation for an overall radiance or as a highlighter on the high points of your face, you can even spot use it on central areas like eye lids or down the bridge of your nose for a subtle-shimmer effect. With this in her travel bag, no wonder Miller knows how to glow.
