Cotswolds-based designer Sophie Stanbury loves to try new looks and change up her colours with the seasons.
But there are some things she is never without.
For a natural glowing look that's great for busy London days and relaxed weekends.
Sophie says:
"As a busy working mother finding the perfect everyday makeup which is easy to use and creates a lovely natural dewy complexion is very important to me.I have hand picked my favourites from the fabulous collection and I can safely say the quality, the use of good ingredients with no nasty chemicals and the lovely textures of these has given me a flawless natural illumination that I will wear everyday. I have found it hard in the past to find products that don’t make me look overly made up or caked.
I stand by the less is more approach, enhancing what you have and correcting fine lines while not leaving cracks and creating a lovely healthy glow that gives you confidence and a fresh appearance.
I hope you enjoy the lovely glowing collection I have picked and feel happy and confident!"

Sophie's a fan of a pop of cream blush for a pretty flourish for every day, and she loves the rosy pink of Delight - a colour she created exclusively with Cosmetics A la Carte - available from September 2024

A fresh baby pink that Sophie loves just as much every day as on special occasions.

Eyeshadow
Curated specially by Sophie herself, this is a selection of 6 ultra-wearable shades of mineral eyeshadow to create radiant looks for day and night.

Mineral blush
For the days when Sophie would rather look peachy than pink, mineral blusher is the way to go. "Coral" is brightening and beautiful on Sophie's skin tone, and can be built up from subtle to a statement flush.
Blush Touch Coral
Bronzer
For bronzer Sophie loves the subtle golden glow of "Sunbeam". Couldn't be easier to apply and blend for a radiant finish.

Eye Care
Sophie preps and refreshes her eyes before makeup with Rapid Renew Eye Serum, a cooling gel in a convenient rollerball with Hyaluronic Acid, Ceramides and Vitamin B3 to hydrate, tone and guard against undereye puffiness.
