7 of the best British beauty brands

Charlotte Tilbury Powder & Sculpt brush, £35; Kissing lipstick in Velvet Underground, £23; Film Star Bronze & Glow bronzer and highlighter powder, £49

Charlotte Tilbury certainly knows a thing or two about cosmetics, with over 20 years of experience under her belt as a professional make-up artist. She has worked alongside some of the world’s top models and film stars, and has created a dreamy range of make-up that we’ve been crying out for. The collection also includes handy top tips and tricks from Tilbury on how to create the look and get the most out of products. We especially love the Film Star Bronze & Glow that cleverly accentuates, sculpts and highlights your best features.

Award-winning skincare brand Liz Earle uses only the finest botanical and naturally sourced ingredients to create one of Britain’s most-loved beauty brands. The Gentle Face Exfoliator is one of Liz Earle’s bestsellers and it’s easy to see why: skin is left super soft, smooth and noticeably clearer. The facials in-store are definitely worth the waiting list, too, and are absolutely heavenly.

Founded in 1996, Emma Hardie’s skincare line provides customers with a natural way to lift and sculpt the skin using the brand’s Amazing Face skincare system and a few of Hardie’s massaging techniques. If you haven’t yet tried Emma Hardie’s famous Moringa Cleansing Balm and cloth then you’re certainly missing out. We love the way it plumps, brightens, clears pores, de-stresses and adds a good dose of moisture to the skin.

Atkinsons Rose in Wonderland; Posh on the Green; and Lavender on the Rocks eau de parfums, 100ml; £120 each at Selfridges

Established in 1799, Atkinsons is one of Britain’s oldest perfume houses. Using only the finest of ingredients, the brand reflects English elegance at its best. We highly recommend Posh on the Green, a fresh, crisp, upbeat fragrance made of petit grain, rose mint geranium and vetiver.
