Beauty editor Rachael Martin says: 'Make-up artist to the stars Gucci Westman knows her way around a gorgeous cheek combination. Case in point? Her new blush-meets-bronze duos which are the perfect addition to my spring make-up bag. Beautifully blendable, silky soft and available in a whole range of tones, it's safe to say the whole Grazia beauty team are adoring this new launch. My chosen shade? Petal and Biscuit - think a rose toned pink and a cool beige. Heaven.'

Annie Vischer, beauty director, says: ‘I’d heard about this concealer but never given it a real go until recently – it’s the only eye make-up I’m wearing in this picture. I went for shade 1, a peachy flesh tone intended to cancel out purple tones, the shade of my dark circles. It works a treat. I’ve been using it for the past two weeks and apply it with a slanted blending brush, sweeping it lightly and gently onto my delicate under eye area and the inner corners of each eye, right up against the side of my orbital bone. It takes very little of the creamy product to blur away my dark circles and it doesn’t feel cakey. I even use it to soften the shadows cast by my nasolabial folds on either side of my mouth. Sometimes it’s all I wear – even though I know you're supposed to follow up with concealer! - a quick application is enough to freshen my face ahead of the nursery run. Otherwise I’ll top with my foundation and continue on to blusher, eye make-up, the lot. It’s long-lasting, the most I notice after a few hours is a little bit of creasing, but it’s easy enough to tap back to even with my fingers, so that doesn’t bother me. I love it, it serves as my quick complexion pick-me-up and is a new staple in my make-up bag.’

Georgia Scott Beauty & Fashion Product Writer says: 'After incorporating this into my daily routine, I totally get the hype. The finely milled powder glides onto my skin, blurring pores in a way I’ve never experienced from a powder blush. I opted for ‘Babydoll Pink 42’, a light, blue-toned pink that delivers the perfect fresh-faced flush. Instantly, my complexion looked more radiant, less dull – and for that alone, I’m sold.But is it worth the splurge? At £39, it’s undeniably a luxury buy, but given the rich pigment and silky finish, a little goes a long way. If you’re in the market for a statement blush that feels as good as it looks, this might just be your next beauty obsession.'

Rachael Martin beauty editor says, 'This fab perfume collaboration between Zara and Jo Malone is set to sell out fast. It's a great way to tap into the signature scents of Jo Malone London without the hefty price tag. But act fast - this is a limited-edition release, and we don't predict they'll stick around for long. My favourite? The hand creams which are seriously indulgent.'

Rachael Martin beauty editor says: 'While there's little coverage, there is a subtle glisten - think a hydrated radiance that doesn’t stray into sparkle territory (which is my personal beauty bête noire). My complexion tends to become oilier as the day goes on, so ensuring that my SPF is light and non-greasy is often tricky, but this one plays beautifully and wears well under make-up. My breakouts and redness have reduced too, which I’m attributing to the infusion of niacinamide, an active known for its ability to take down blemishes. My only gripe is the price. It's expensive at £46. But for such an impressive list of all encompassing benefits? I'd say it's money well spent.'
