The Beauty Edit: Christie's Beauty Essentials

Every beauty routine tells a story.

Some products are exciting for a season, while others quietly become everyday essentials – the ones that get packed for every holiday, recommended to friends and replaced the moment they run out.

In this Beauty Edit Series, members of The Hood Collective share the beauty products they genuinely use and love. From skincare staples to makeup heroes and handbag essentials, these are the products that have earned a permanent place in their daily routines.

First up is Christie, whose fresh, glowing approach to beauty is built around hardworking skincare, natural makeup and a few trusted favourites she simply wouldn't be without.

Christie, 31

Christie's approach to beauty is effortless, fresh and uncomplicated. She loves products that deliver glowing skin, healthy lips and easy makeup that fits seamlessly into everyday life.

First thing I apply:

Always an SPF - I love the Byoma Ultralight Face Fluid SPF 50 or a mini Supreme Screen SPF 50+ Hydrating Facial Skinscreen to keep in my bag

Last thing before I leave the house:

Sephora Mini Glow Setting Spray - there’s nothing that a little bit of shimmer can’t fix!

Always in my handbag:

Benetint - a classic for a reason! perfect for lips and cheeks to add a little pop of colour but still super natural

I'll always repurchase:

Biodance Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask - I love the difference these make to my skin and they are perfet for a little moment of self-care and pause to reset.

My Skincare staple:

Elemis Pro-collagen Cleansing Balm - I absolutely love this product, it smells gorgeous, melts makeup off like nothing else and a little goes a long way!
