We know a good brow shape can give your face an instant lift, and Charlotte Tilbury’s new Supermodel Brows promises to do that in three easy steps.
The beauty guru’s ‘fill, feather and fix’ system includes Brow Cheat, £22, which has a brown microprecision pencil at one end and a small brush at the other. We were impressed with how easy this was to use to create shape and make brows look naturally fuller. It’s smudge resistant too. We then slicked on some Brow Fix, £19, – a clear gel to keep hairs in place which doesn’t leave them feeling crispy. We loved the result. Both available at charlottetilbury.com

Malin+goetz’s new Strawberry Eau de Parfum, £75, is a treat for the senses. But doesn’t smell at all like you’d think. This is a “reimagined interpretation” of strawberry, combined with bergamot, pink pepper and jasmine into a fresh, green fragrance. Think the entire garden strawberry patch on a bright sunny day.
