While the vivid hue in the pan seems daunting, it goes on translucent for colour you can build as you please— giving cheeks everything from the most natural-looking sheen to the prettiest full-on flush. For best results, apply on the fleshy part of the palm and dab on cheeks.

Pulling double duty as a contouring powder, this bronzer gets you a perfectly sculpted visage and that coveted sun-kissed glow. Infused with hyaluronic acid and finely milled pigments, it acts as a real-life beauty filter that adds depth and definition while blurring the look of pores and smoothening the appearance of skin. Applying with a silky texture, the matte formula means it can also be used on the nose to help you create your dream shape.

The best contouring palette is one with perfectly complementary hues for shading and highlighting—just like this powder duo, which pairs a neutral-to-warm matte medium brown for natural-looking sculpting with a shimmery peach to add instant glow and dimension.

This one takes home the prize for its versatility in terms of usage. Wear on its own and dab on using fingertips for sky-high cheekbones, or apply under foundation for a more subtle lit-from-within glow. You can also add it to a moisturiser or a makeup base to enhance skin’s overall radiance.

Shine bright like a diamond with this powder that glides on like satin and comes in a universally flattering hue to emphasise the high points of the face. The shimmery quality adds subtle sparkle, making like a glittery veil of diamond dust over skin.

This has all the hallmarks of a top-notch blusher and then some. True-colour mineral pigments, a long-wearing formula and a silky texture that blends seamlessly check all the right boxes on the cosmetics end, while Amazonian clay and vitamin E—which moisturises and absorbs excess oil, and hydrates and protects against free-radical damage respectively— bump it into skincare territory.
