Indie beauty brand Glisten have launched two new product ranges, formulated to provide long-lasting colour and definition, and are ideal for getting that vibrant, 90s cool girl look.
Glis Gloss (£12) is a highly moisturising lip gloss that glides onto your lips with an easy to use large wand.

Spectra Paints (£9 each) are a cosmetic paint for eyes, lips, and cheeks. They are mixable, waterproof, blend-able and multi-use. You can use them on the lips, cheeks and eyes but be warned a little will go a long way! Create any shade you desire by mixing them together. Apply with a brush or sponge and use an oil-based remover to take them off. All available now from glistencosmetics.
Perfect for spring, the vibrant primary green brings an unexpected pop of colour and energy to the face. Inspired by fresh cut grass, bright northern lights against the winter sky, and lush summer foliage, this green brings fun, modern colour to your makeup bag. 19/99 Beauty continues to break the mould with their limited edition Colour Precision Pencil in ZOLD! (£19) the perfect colour for any look. This emerald green, highly pigmented liner glides on with a creamy-matte finish. Use to draw, blend, line, define and buff. Available exclusively at browns.
Last night Lisa Eldridge launched eight new shades of her Gloss Embrace Lip Gloss (£18). The glowing colour is available in a range of finishes, from sheer washes to impactful coverage shades that serve high colour drama. All shades replenish lips, leaving them feeling smoothed, cushioned and plumped but not sticky.

The new shades are: Sorcery, Blush Lightly, Carnival, Decade, Rain and Pompadour along with pigment free versions Dancing Rose and Silent Sun.

The British Beauty Council have launched the Future Talent Programme, an industry-first careers programme, set to shape the future of the industry and promote successful careers
The hair and beauty industry supports almost 600,000 – that’s one in every 60 in the UK – and these roles contribute almost £30bn to the British Economy. What’s more, successful careers in the beauty industry lead to six figure salaries and prestigious recognition for contribution to society, by supporting mental and physical wellbeing and positive self-esteem.
However, the value of beauty careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) have been long underestimated, making it difficult for young people to realise the diverse opportunities available to them in the industry. This has resulted in a shrinking pipeline of talent to our industry which has been hit post-Brexit and in the aftermath of Covid-19. STEM skills are vital to the beauty industry. Whether it’s product formulation, sustainable packaging innovation, website design, supply chain efficiency or the various careers in-between, personal care couldn’t exist without STEM experts.
The British Beauty Council is tackling this lack of awareness with the Future Talent Programme. Supported by the Department for Education, The Careers & Enterprise Company and STEM Learning, the programme will be seeded out via The Careers Hub Network, to schools across England in order to inspire and educate young people in the most formative years of their educational careers. Currently, 75% of STEM-based roles are occupied by men and only 33% of 10-13-year-olds aspire to develop a STEM career. Knowing this, the Future Talent Programme is dedicated to highlighting career pathways to young people, aged 11-18, inspiring them to see value in their current education.

HRH Princess Beatrice, in her newly appointed role as Patron of the British Skin Foundation, this week visited London’s prestigious Blizard Institute at Queen Mary University of London to see first-hand how scientists are tackling the UK rising skin cancer numbers. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the UK and rates continue to rise. At least 100,000 new cases are now diagnosed annually, and the disease is killing over 2,500 people each year in the UK – that’s seven people every day.
The British Skin Foundation has been funding vital research into all skin diseases at centres throughout the UK for many years now including its long history of funding skin cancer research at Queen Mary. Whilst dedicated to funding research, the charity is also committed to raising awareness and educating people about different skin conditions, helping to reduce stigma and promote understanding.
