This season of Love Island All Stars was nothing short of extraordinary, and while the Islanders may no longer be squabbling in the South African villa, since leaving the show, the All Stars have generously shared plenty of tea, show secrets and beauty recommendations.
The latest make-up trick to get our ears waggling is served by indisputable icon Harriett Blackmore who shared that her all-time favourite base for filming is actually a £10 BB cream from Amazon. We love an affordable queen.
Taking to TikTok to sing the foundation's praises claiming it as 'the product she couldn't live without', the 24-year-old also spoke about it on heatworld's Self-Care Sunday. The Love Island star revealed, "I always wear the L'Oreal Age Perfect BB Cover, £10.18, I use it all the time."
"Whenever I go out, all my Instagram DMs are asking, 'What foundation are you wearing?' And I'm like, 'It's not foundation, it's a BB cream.' It's so affordable, I tell everyone to buy it. I had a meeting with my manager who asked what I was wearing and I was like, 'Babe, you need to get this!'"
She continued, "I love it because it's just so affordable and the coverage is amazing. Obviously, it's a BB Cream and it's so good for your skin."
L'OrealThe Age Perfect Skin Tint is one of L'Oreal's lesser-known products, but has all the makings of a true masterpiece. It's lightweight whilst delivering ample coverage. It evens out redness, contains SPF50 and is infused with skin-loving ingredients that improve your complexion over time.
One chuffed customer even wrote, 'So pleased with this. It’s a light foundation that spreads easily over the face. It feels lovely on my skin. Perfect for more mature complexions. Covers well.'
As well as BB Cream, Harriett revealed another of her affordable beauty secrets in her recent get ready with me over on TikTok. She told fans, 'I don't really like foundation too much, so I like to build up a few products.'
The product that Harriett uses in tandem with the BB Cream is the e.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter, £14.92, a lightweight complexion booster with thousands of glowing reviews. The skincare makeup hybrid contains skin-loving ingredients such as squalane and hyaluronic acid for an enviable glow.
E.l.f.In the TikTok, the All Star reveals, 'This is one of my fave products ever. I just love how this blends into your skin, it gives you such a nice glow. You can build it up, so you can make it really full coverage but then if you wanted to do less coverage, like a no makeup makeup, you can just use one round.'
Customers agree, commenting 'I absolutely love this product! You can use it for foundation, under foundation, no makeup makeup days for a flawless and glowing look! Such a versatile product!'
Harriett covers her entire face with the e.l.f Halo Glow, tops it off with the L'Oreal Age Perfect BB Cream and blends in with a beauty blender. 'These two products together just work so well for me, and I always get so many compliments on my skin,' she says.
