Looking for some new, dreamy makeup? Look no further than the magic of Glisten Cosmetics – founders of the original UV split liners. They have many bestsellers, but their famous Cow Palette (£35) – The Clay Drop x Glisten collaboration – sells out time and time again. The limited-edition palette features eight Split Shades that can be mixed together to make even more colours. Six out of the eight shades are UV reactive too, giving endless possibilities.
The Wet Liner Pastel Bundle (£45.50) is a great buy. These water-activated liners are small but pack a punch. They come in strawberry, peach, vanilla, mint, bubblegum, blueberry and grape shades. The Monochrome Bundle (£13) is another option, the milk and cola liners will make a statement. If you can’t decide which liner to buy from the 140+ available shades, you can now create your own palette with 4, 9 or 15 pans (from £25). All available from glistencosmetics.
