This £18 gloss highlighter is the secret to Molly-Mae's ‘summer skin' holiday glow
There's something about the glow you get on holiday that hits different than any other time you do your makeup. It's usually a combination of sunshine, tan and probably a little bit of sweat giving your skin that gorgeous sheen that hits golden hour just right, but Molly-Mae Hague has found a way to recreate that exact look at any time – no holiday needed.
Sharing a snap of herself with her 'Summer skin' – not to mention a cute behind the scenes video of daughter Bambi joining in with her beauty routine – Molly-Mae has managed to perfectly replicate a gorgeous holiday-esque glow. Whilst she didn't tag the exact products she used, she did tag beauty brand REFY, who have confirmed exactly what she used to get the look.
The stand out product to use when creating Molly-Mae's look is the Gloss Highlighter (£18) which creates that natural-looking glow. Unlike powders or creams, the gloss finish soaks into the skin thanks to its lightweight hydrating formula.
It's non-stick, so you don't need to worry about your face feeling tacky or your hair getting stuck to it all the time (we're looking at you, lipgloss), and is super easy to blend. It also contains vitamin E which leaves your skin feeling nourished each time you use it.
The shade works on universal skin tones, and doesn't leave behind a pearly or artificial looking glow. Instead, your skin simply looks hydrated, healthy and naturally dewy. Although it's perfect for applying on your cheekbones, you can also apply the Gloss Highlighter on your eyelids, nose, cupid's bow, collarbones and anywhere else you want the light to hit.
If you prefer a less liquid formula, HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA Bio Radiant Highlighter Balm (£30) has more of a solid balm-style consistency, with a range of shades including a clear, colourless one that gives a naturally dewy look. For a hint of a pearly finish, you could also try out the Rare Beauty Positive Light Liquid Luminizer (£26) which has a liquid, easy-to-blend formula and comes in nine different skin shades.
However, Molly-Mae relied on a full face of products from REFY to create her golden hour glow, and prepped her skin using the Face Sculpt (£38) to moisturise and hydrate her skin, not to mention give it some instant lifting and sculpting. Next she applied Glow and Sculpt Primer (£24) which brightens and primes your skin and comes with a roller applicator to de-puff and lift.
To add some colour, she applied the Cream Blush (£16) and blended for a subtle flush of colour, before heightening her bronzed glow with the Cream Bronzer (also £18). Once blended, she applied the Gloss Highlighter along her cheekbones, with the result being a glow that looks fresh from a day in the sun with a your-skin-but-better-finish.

Lingo contestants miss out on whopping jackpot after being bested by this 'tough' word riddle - but can YOU solve it within the time limit?
A hopeful sibling duo had to wave goodbye to thousands of pounds after being bested by a tough word riddle on Lingo. Good Morning Britain 's Adil Ray, 51, welcomed the contestants onto the latest edition of the popular ITV game show. Playing for the cash prize were three separate pairings - including Manchester-based brothers Jack and Rob, who were confident they could secure a solid win. The game sees players compete to guess hidden words of various lengths - and those with a large vocabulary and quick thinking are rewarded. When asked by Adil if they were 'competitive' with one another, Rob quipped: 'We would basically be competing against each other more than we will the other people to be fair.' The brothers beat Nantwich pair Jenny and Dev and London couple Rosie and Wes to get to the final round. The stakes were high for Jack and Rob. If they had solved a four-letter puzzle in the final, they would get half the money they'd won during the game. By guessing three letters within a strict time limit, they would have taken home a nice sum of £1,870. If they had guessed the right letters for both a four and five-letter word, they would have banked an impressive £3,740. Finally, if they could have done both - as well as guessing a six-letter Lingo - in 90 seconds, their earnings would have doubled to make a whopping £7,480. For the four letter word, Jack correctly guessed the word 'lobe' in three goes. This was after the pair passed on the first word, 'gram', as Jack could not guess two of the letters. Rob also passed on the first five-letter word, as he was unable to figure out the word 'tough'. 'That was tough,' quipped Adil, and the players were visibly disappointed with the momentum of the final so far, before Rob correctly guessed 'stamp' on the first try. The contestants were on track to win the final jackpot, and they had 30 seconds left on the clock. They chose the starting word 'images' for which the letter 'I' was placed in the right position with 'E' and 'S' getting an orange light - meaning they appear elsewhere in the word But they ran out of time before they could correctly guess the final word, which was 'inside' They chose the starting word 'images' for which the letter 'I' was placed in the right position with 'E' and 'S' getting an orange light - meaning they appear elsewhere in the word. Jack and Rob then guessed 'invest', revealing 'N' as another green letter, while 'E' and 'S' stayed orange. The pair guessed similar words, including 'insure' and 'insane' - which saw the I, N, S, and E in the right place, and left just two letters to be guessed. But they ran out of time before they could correctly guess the final word, which was 'inside'. Frustratingly, Jack and Rob made the correct guess just seconds after their time was up, prompting Adil to say: 'No! No! Don't tell me you've got it now, that would be really annoying!' Gesturing to the screen, he added: 'Don't show us, don't show us!'

'I found cheaper alternatives to Molly-Mae's earring stack and saved hundreds of pounds'
Molly-Mae Hague has a very expensive taste in jewellery, but you can copy the former Love Island's star's jewellery look for much less - here's how The fashion for small, chic, luxury-looking jewellery – particularly the trend of wearing multiple delicate stud or hoop earrings – has been popular for several years now and is a favourite amongst celebrities. So when I spotted a detailed image of Molly-Mae Hague's earring collection, it inspired me to expand my own collection of piercings and indulge in some new jewellery to emulate her style. The former Love Island contestant had previously revealed that many of her tiny studs and hoops are from the fashionable London-based jewellery brand and piercing studio Maria Tash. This high-end brand is a hit with celebrities and fashion fans alike, but their designs often come with a hefty price tag, often exceeding £1,000 for a single earring. However, without Molly-Mae's reported net worth of £6 million, I set out to find more affordable alternatives – and discovered some fantastic pieces that I adore and now wear daily. Astrid and Miyu I visited Astrid and Miyu to have a third hole pierced in my lobes and was thoroughly impressed with the service – swift, painless and friendly, with excellent advice – a vast improvement on previous piercing experiences, reports OK!. I chose Astrid and Miyu's Triple Topaz Piercing Stud 6mm for my new piercings. As all their piercings are made with solid metals, they aren't cheap – the pair cost me £320. However, they're designed to last a lifetime, I'll likely never remove mine, and I know they're the best material for my ears. While I was shopping, I also snagged these little Cosmic Star Charm Huggies in Gold for a much more affordable £65, which I absolutely adore, and resemble Molly-Mae's jewellery. Abbott Lyon Another brand I've been buying from recently is Abbott Lyon, a hit with celebrities such as Olivia Attwood and Stacey Solomon. Nearly every day, I round off my earring trio with the Sterling Silver Mini Starburst Crystal Earrings (Gold), priced at £69, which I reckon bear a striking resemblance to Maria Tash's designs. If I'm after a bit more of a statement earring look, I'll swap these out for either the Mini Organic Hoops (Gold), £39, or the Ribbed Hoops (Gold), £55,. Abbott Lyon's Strike Twice Lightning Bolt Earrings, retailing at £49, also bear a strong likeness to Molly-Mae's lightning bolt studs. Lily & Roo One jewellery retailer I haven't yet shopped but am eager to is Lily & Roo, whose designs are reminiscent of pieces frequently donned by the Princess of Wales. Lily & Roo's jewellery leans more towards timeless elegance rather than being trend-driven, ensuring they'll be cherished for a lifetime. I think these Gold Marquise Diamond Drop Hoop Earrings, £89, and Gold Curved Diamond Style Huggie Hoop Earrings, £79, appear far pricier than their actual cost.

This High Street Store Is The Make-Up Artists Best Kept Secret
Walk past a Muji store on the high street and you'd be forgiven for, well, walking straight past. It's not exactly a shop that sparks excitement. Its muted colour palette doesn't exactly beckon you in. That said, I might have to reconsider after catching up with top make-up artist Molly Grey, who's painted the faces of countless celebrities - turns out she swears by Muji as as something of an organisational mecca. Wait, what? But there's nothing remotely glamorous about Muji, I hear you cry! Well, that's where those in the know would beg to differ. While glamour might be a stretch, Muji is home to solid, well-designed beauty essentials that allow you to organise, refine, and streamline your kit. 'As a busy make-up artist, I'm always looking for tools that help me condense my kit and make my workflow simpler. I've always turned to Muji for affordable yet practical tools to add to my set-up,' says Molly. And it makes sense - Muji's philosophy is a simple one, grounded in the Japanese principles of form, function, and minimalism. 'We exist to enable a simple and beautiful life through meaningful and useful products,' they say. And that's precisely what they deliver. Expect a clever curation of containers, binders, boxes, and storage solutions that not only work hard but are created with sustainability in mind.
