I tried Charlotte Tilbury's new Super Nudes range - and it gave me the perfect 90s makeover
Taking centre stage is the Hollywood Contour Wand, which makes it effortless for anyone to achieve the iconic, sun-kissed look of a 90s supermodel. Meanwhile, the new Lip Cheat Contour Duo and Big Lip Plumpgasm in shade 'nudegasm diamond' combine to create the ultimate full, plump pout.
As an exclusive treat, shoppers can enjoy 20% off the Hollywood Flawless Filter, Airbrush Flawless Foundation, and Airbrush Flawless Finish when purchasing any of the new Super Nudes beauty icons, simply by using the code SUPERYOU at checkout.
During the masterclass, Charlotte Tilbury's professional makeup artist Eleanor Howarth began by prepping my skin with the Beautiful Skin Foundation and the colour-correcting Magic Vanish to conceal my under-eye area. Rather than applying the concealer directly to the deep crease under my eyes, she used the new Super Nudes Shapewear Brush (£28) to blend it seamlessly along my nose, cleverly filling in the "sunken crescents" to create a smoother, more even finish.
This versatile brush boasts a dual-ended design, featuring a slanted edge for precision shaping and definition, alongside a fluffy side for seamless blending and softening of formulas. Its compact size makes it easily portable in any makeup bag, reports OK!.
Eleanor utilised the brush to soften contouring, although its relatively small size necessitates a longer buffing time to achieve a smooth finish. For a more efficient application on the cheeks and forehead, consider Morphe's M103 Angled Cream and Liquid Foundation Brush, £14, which offers a larger surface area.
In the 90s, eyeshadow was often applied heavily and with a smoky effect. To recreate this look, blend earthy tones higher on the eyelids and darker beige hues closer to the waterline.
For those seeking a more understated, everyday look, the Super Nudes Easy Eye Palette, £47, offers an excellent colour range.
When applying the Hollywood Contour Wand in Medium, Eleanor advised: "Always leave two fingers away from the nose and dab in lifted upward motions."
As she blended, my face became more defined and less puffy, with "hollow cheeks", chiselled jaws, and a smaller forehead. To achieve this, simply apply above the cheekbones, along the hairline, nose bridge, and jawline.
The standout product for me was the Lip Cheat Contour Duo, a pencil featuring two highly pigmented, blendable formulas. The Sculpt end, with its powdery texture and darker shade, creates contouring shadows, while the Fill end, with its soft, creamy consistency and lighter shade, adds all-over colour for enhanced, fuller-looking lips.
The Lip Cheat pencils, priced at £21, come in a range of four shades from Fair to Deep. I opted for the Medium shade - a subdued mauve and beige nude - to balance out the uneven colour on my lips.
I tried applying it myself and found that it went on smoothly. It would be great if it included a sharpener.
In comparison, Refy's Blur Liner is a twist-to-use crayon that doesn't require sharpening and is more affordable at £16.
When compared to the Pillow Talk lip liner, which I also have in medium, the Lip Cheat pencils glide on the lips more easily due to their creamier texture. After lining my lips, I applied the Big Lip Plumpgasm on top in the 'nudegasm diamond' shade - a champagne gold colour.
My lips tingled after one application, but for those who prefer to avoid this sensation, Vieve's Original Lip Dew (available at SpaceNK for £21) could be a better option. The Kiko Milano 3D Hydra Lipgloss is another good alternative, available on Amazon for £11.99.
I must say, the Tilbury Makeover left me quite impressed, and I discovered that contouring can be achieved with minimal tools. After stepping out with my glamorous new look, I received a compliment from a stranger within minutes.
My friends were equally complimentary after seeing photos of the completed makeover. That being said, it's not my everyday makeup style, but I will continue to create the fuller lip effect with more understated eye makeup.

Weekend Wishlist: 11 style and beauty picks our writers can't stop thinking about
This week, we're lusting after a Charlotte Tilbury lip gloss set, a half-price Nobody's Child jacket, a leopard print co-ord and much more We're halfway through summer and are already starting to see end-of-season sales appear. It's the perfect time to shop for hot weather essentials and start thinking about our upcoming autumn wardrobes. One transitional piece that has caught our attention is the Nobody's Child Floral Print Quilted Jacket, now on sale for £60 (down from £120). The cheerful floral design pays homage to summer while offering practicality for the occasional summer downpour. Plus, with half off, we predict it'll sell out fast. Our beauty bags are getting an update this week, with the launch of Charlotte Tilbury's new lip oil duos (£39), offered in six sultry shades. The Healthy Glow Nectar tinted lip oils promise juicy-looking lips that look and feel 'unreal'. Our shopping team also covets an effortlessly cool two-piece leopard print set from Wild Lovers. Although designed to be worn as pyjamas, this It-girl duo deserves a proper outing in the sun. Lauren's picks: The Body Shop Tender Tonka Fragrance Mist - £13 As a teen, The Body Shop was my fragrance haven. I spritzed White Musk most mornings, and it became the signature scent that carried me through most of secondary school. Admittedly, I hadn't returned to the brand in a while, but its latest launch, Tender Tonka, brought me right back. Part of a new trio (which includes a body butter, fragrance mist, and eau de toilette), the scent is warm, spicy, and a little addictive, with creamy vanilla, tonka bean, and spicy black pepper. Think cosy but sultry. The mist, in particular, is a favourite of mine. I spritz it before heading out the door and sometimes toss it in my bag for top-ups throughout the day. It doesn't last for ages, so if you're looking for staying power, I'd upgrade to the eau de toilette. That said, at £13 for a generous 100ml bottle, the fragrance mist is ideal for everyday wear. My only request is a travel-sized version for my smaller handbags. Nobody's Child Floral Print Quilted Jacket - £60 from £120 While it may still be warm outside, there's no harm in beginning to prepare our autumn wardrobes. Soon enough, we'll all be reaching for layers, and Nobody's Child is helping us get a head start with a fantastic sale on transitional essentials. The fashion-forward brand is offering up to 60% off selected coats, jackets, and knitwear. Plus, with the code EXTRA15, customers can get an additional 15% off at checkout. A variety of must-haves are available, ranging from quilted jackets to knitted vests and embroidered gilets. The item that has caught my attention, however, is this quilted floral jacket, reduced from £120 to £60. It boasts a charming blue and white floral design, contrast buttons and side pockets, making it perfect for adding a splash of colour to a simple outfit. It has received just one review, with someone praising its 'lovely colours and print', although they did note that it's 'slightly on the larger side'. Wild Lovers Celine Top and Skirt - £45 and £20, respectively Wearing nightwear as daywear is the ultimate cool-girl trend right now, and I'm fully on board. Think silky camisoles, slinky slips, and even full-on pyjama pants stepping out in daylight. It's the ultimate lazy girl flex: you look effortlessly cool but feel like you're in your jarmies. With that in mind, my latest obsession is this leopard-print Celine top and skirt from Wild Lovers. Technically designed for bedtime, but far too chic to leave at home, it's an edgy little duo that deserves a proper outing. The top is a cropped cami with a sultry neckline, while the skirt is a figure-skimming dream. Worn together, they make for a co-ord that feels flirty and fun. Plus, leopard print is still everywhere right now, and with Leo season in full swing, the timing couldn't be better. If you're looking to explore the trend further, Boux Avenue always has dreamy options. This lace bodysuit (£50), for instance, blurs the lines between boudoir and fancy dinner vibes beautifully. Ipanema MESH X PLAT FEM Flip-Flops - £24.99 After nearly six years of loyal service, my beloved Primark sliders finally gave up the ghost. They quite literally fell apart on me a few weeks ago (RIP) and left me flip-flop-less in a world where quick errands and lazy park walks demand an easy shoe solution. Desperate for a replacement, I picked up a pair of Ipanema flip-flops, and they've been a welcome addition to my warm-weather wardrobe ever since. This rose pink pair has a subtle platform that makes them feel dressier than your standard beach sandals - ideal for pairing with floaty dresses, but still casual enough to throw on for a coffee run. Like most flip-flops, though, they rubbed that dreaded spot between my big toe and second toe, and I had to grit through the breaking-in period. But once I made it to the other side, they proved their worth and I can walk in them for ages without any issues. Olivia Burton Minima Bee Beaded Charm Necklace - £80 Beaded charms are everywhere right now, and I'm fully here for the whimsical vibe they bring to an outfit. This week, I spotted this new Olivia Burton necklace at H Samuel, and it's shot straight to the top of my (weekend) wishlist. This piece is a nature-inspired dream, with delicate green beads, a honeycomb-shaped charm and a sweet bumblebee detail. It feels like something you'd stumble across in a fairy garden - or at least the best-dressed guest at a garden party. It's the kind of jewellery that instantly elevates a look. Picture it with a floaty summer dress and sandals, or just thrown on with a white tee and denim shorts. There's also a matching bracelet if you're into going all out (I am, obviously). Otherwise, Ernest Jones is a great alternative place for quality jewellery. The brand is currently hosting a huge sale, making it an even better time to shop. Lululemon Leather Alternative Mini Bag - £89 (was £128) If I were looking for a perfect summer bag, I would want it to be practical and elegant-looking. The Leather Alternative Mini Bag from lululemon holds more than you might think, offering a luxurious look reminiscent of genuine leather bags. The top handle feature is ideal for special events, such as weddings and ceremonies. The chestnut brown and black colours match cocktail dresses or floral print frocks. Shoppers can attach the adjustable shoulder strap to wear it across the body. It also features a detachable, clippable pouch that keeps your earbuds, coins, and keys close at hand. It features a spacious compartment that can accommodate a phone, a cardholder, and more. A magnetic snap button secures the mini bag, while the large flap cover adds an extra layer of security to the accessory. And if shoppers prefer a zip closure bag, Kate Spade's Madison Small Dolly Duffle Crossbody Bag is equally versatile, and it reduces to £99 from £349, a massive 71% off saving. Free People Me and You Slip Dress - £118 The Friday feeling and payday weekend have got me in a mood to shop for something to boost self-confidence, and that's when I spotted Free People's latest edit with florist Christie Leigh Chung. The "Me and You" Slip Dress from the summer edit is elegantly designed, combining vintage inspiration with summer romance. It features a V-neckline, scalloped eyelet trimming, and embroidered lace piecing that are made to be seen. Wear it alone as a dress or pair it with shorts or jeans to create a tunic, and this dress will turn heads with every wear. The minute details show craftsmanship, and I like the button details on the side. I can unbutton them on hot days or keep them up for a polished look. The edit also includes three unique T-shirt designs—a fun and bold " Fresh Blooms" graphic, a minimalistic " Cornish Flowers" graphic, and a " Fresh Flowers" graphic on the front and sleeve. Alternatively, Omnes' Nova Tie Back Dress, £98, is a date-night dress featuring a deep neckline, open back, and a soft, satin-like shine. RoC Derm Correxion Retinol Firming Serum Stick, £39.99 Ageing is inevitable, but we can delay its signs. Skincare, particularly retinol, can improve skin elasticity without the need for injections. RoC's latest retinol invention is a firming serum stick. It works like a roll-on deodorant - simply roll it on to the desired areas of the body, and it's completely mess-free. The formula includes Tetrahydroxypropyl ethylenediamine (THPE), an ingredient clinically proven to increase skin firmness by 90%. Shoppers love the idea of retinol in a stick, and it's particularly convenient for travel, given the numerous liquid restrictions. While the product does not specify the percentage of retinol used, the experts explained: "The percentage of retinol doesn't tell you how potent a product is or how well it works. The amount of retinol in over-the-counter products will vary greatly depending on what type of retinol is in the formula." There are similar products on the market; for instance, LookFantastic offers Clinique Smart Clinical Repair AM/PM Retinoid Balm, now reduced to £23.20 from £29. The lip balm-like skincare is powered by a rich blend of 1% advanced retinoid and hyaluronic acid to intensely hydrate and nourish the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines. Nisha's picks: Charlotte Tilbury Lip Oil Duo - £39 I've blind-bought a few lip products from Charlotte Tilbury and liked every single one of them. The brand's online shade match tool is the most accurate one I have used, and it has perfectly matched me every time, so I have complete trust in it. When I heard Charlotte Tilbury was releasing new lip oils, I mentally counted down the days to payday for immediate purchase. For £39, shoppers can purchase two of the latest lip oils, each encased in a retro-inspired squeeze tube. There are six summery shades to choose from, including Cherry Glaze, Coconut Water, Pink Watermelon, Pure Peach, Candy Fig, and Strawberry Vanilla. I have my eyes on pure peach and pink watermelon; the latter is clear with an iridescent sheen. I'm sceptical about the packaging, though, as I'm not a fan of tube lip glosses. I have less control than when I use a dome applicator gloss because a lot of excess can come out. Also, on hot days, they can melt and get sticky and messy. Huda Beauty Easy Bake Setting Spray - £28 Easy Bake setting powder is arguably one of the best on the market. It's the only setting powder I have used that sets my makeup for a long period of time - my glasses don't leave indents around the side of my nose when I use it, that's how good it is. So when Huda announced the Easy Bake Setting Spray, I wanted it immediately. The formula is non-comedogenic, alcohol-free and fragrance-free. It promises to keep your makeup in place for 16 hours, while blurring pores, controlling shine, and hydrating the skin. I have seen a few clips on social media in which users have complained about the shakeable ball inside the bottle getting lodged. The packaging fault has led to some users being unable to apply an even layer of product to their face, instead getting random splodges. Amazon burgundy woven tote bag - £50.44 Autumn is my favourite fashion season, and I am already thinking about what I am going to buy. I recently went to see the Devil Wears Prada musical, and the 2000s fashion trends inspired me, mainly the accessories - think big bags, heeled boots and faux fur. I've wanted a woven burgundy tote bag for the longest time, and this one ticks all the right boxes in terms of style and price point. It has a large main compartment for my everyday essentials and also comes with a mini travel pouch. This is perfect for storing items that you need to find quickly, keys, phones, etc. The woven tote is designed with a shoulder strap with a generous drop length. Other colour options include cream, beige, black and a printed brown and white colourway.

Katie Price has taken to social media to break her silence after it was reported that she had split from her boyfriend, Married At First Sight star JJ Slater, earlier on in the week It looks like Katie Price has had enough of the rumours surrounding her love life, with the mum-of-five posting a telling statement on social media regarding her romance with JJ Slater. The update from Katie comes after friends claimed he'd moved out and they had called it quits. Earlier this week, reports emerged that Katie, 47, and Married At First Sight star JJ Slater, 31, had parted ways. Closer magazine claimed the couple had "gone their separate ways" with JJ allegedly having "packed his bags and moved out". However, Katie appears to have quashed these rumours by posting a picture featuring JJ prominently. Via her Instagram stories, Katie uploaded an image showing JJ positioned at a laptop. The reality TV star was captured during a photoshoot whilst having her hair and makeup applied. Seated at a table in the photograph was JJ. So it looks like the love story continues for Katie and JJ. The couple first became an item at the end of 2023, and following a turbulent whirlwind romance, but an insider earlier this week that alleged that Katie has grown 'bored' and that JJ has 'lost his sparkle'. "Katie and JJ have decided to go their separate ways, with JJ having already packed his bags and moved out. Ultimately, Katie's gotten bored. Friends and family had been warning JJ for a while that he'd lost his sparkle and that she treated him like a doormat," a source revealed to Closer. The insider went on to disclose that Katie 'isn't upset' about being single once more and has numerous options sliding into her DMs, even making quips to her mate where she compared men to handbags. They continued: "JJ has seen the messages, DM's sliding in and out from other men, Katie isn't upset. She even joked with her pal, 'new house, new start! I change men like handbags, but handbags are more useful!' He's gutted, but Katie claims she has not been unfaithful or been going behind his back and sexting other men." Speaking about Katie's romantic patterns, the source remarked: "Katie loves the excitement of the chase and being chased. If it's naughty, then she's in." Adding: "She craves the dopamine rush and is a self-confessed addict to anything that gives her a rush and instant gratification. She lives for her next hit, and sadly, JJ is just another statistic of collateral damage." Just last month, Katie was photographed getting cosy with several topless blokes whilst holidaying in Ibiza, with the getaway reportedly leaving JJ feeling worried about their relationship. "She can't help but flirt and cosy up to people, it's the life she's always led," a source told OK! The former Page 3 stunner was pictured partying alongside controversial ex-UFC champion Conor McGregor, EastEnders actor Dean Gaffney and nightclub mogul Wayne Lineker, who owns the island's renowned O Beach club. Katie dropped hints that her romance with JJ was in trouble during a May appearance on Paul C Brunson's podcast. She revealed her worries about spending excessive time with JJ and neglecting her mates. She explained: "When you meet someone, it's natural to want to be with them all the time. Then the mistakes I've made in the past are then you're with them all the time." She continued: "I'm a bit worried that I've got like that with JJ."

Abbey Clancy says ‘I wouldn't trust you as far as I could throw you' in brutal marriage insight
Model Abbey Clancy and former England international footballer Peter Crouch have been married since 2011, and regularly share insights into their relationship on their podcast, The Therapy Crouch Abbey Clancy says she wouldn't trust husband Peter Crouch 'as far as she could throw him' in a brutal marriage insight. The model has been with former England footballer Peter for almost two decades. The couple married in 2011, five years after they started dating, and now share four children together. They regularly discuss the highs and lows of married life on their podcast, The Therapy Crouch. In a recent episode, a listener wrote in saying their friends had all found themselves in relationships meaning they had no one to go out with. It prompted the woman to ask them if they would attend a singles night together. While former Liverpool forward Peter, 44, sympathised with the woman, he believes they should just organise a regular 'girls night'. He said: 'I get she wants to go out with the girls, that's fine, go to a pub, go to a restaurant, you can't go to a singles night.' Abbey queried 'what's the difference' between going to a singles night and a regular night on the town. To which Peter replied: 'If I said to you, my mate is single and he's not got a girlfriend, so I'm just going to go to this singles night tonight to help him out, how would you feel?' Abbey said: 'I'd be like grow up. If you're confident enough in your relationship and secure in your relationship then your head won't be turned.' Husband Peter shot back saying Abbey 'isn't confident enough in their relationship' if she wouldn't let him go. She said: 'I'm not, I'm absolutely not, I wouldn't trust you as far as I could throw you. 'You're under lock and key, mister. I would help my friend out, maybe not a singles night then.' Peter and Abbey met in Liverpool in 2005. Recalling how they met during an interview on Good Morning Britain, Abbey said: 'When we first met, he begged me for my number and then I went to the loo or the bar, and when I came back, he was talking to another girl. I was like, 'How dare you?'' Peter went on to say he was 'just talking' to the other girl but Abbey asked for her number back. He added: 'I said, 'You can't give someone your number and then take it back'.' Despite the initial bump in the road, their relationship blossomed and the couple tied the knot on June 30, 2011. According to OK! , the family live in a 'magical' Surrey mansion complete with its own cinema room and a huge garden. The sprawling mansion regularly features on Abbey's social media feeds. Fans have seen glimpses of Peter working at his large wooden desk, complete with football trophy, as well as enjoying the property's outdoor swimming pool and wooden play area. They are said to have moved into the stunning property in 2016.
