"I was so impressed with how my skin still looked like skin, just better!"

If you weren’t already aware, Glow Hub have become a pretty big deal on social media, especially with TikTok stars raving about the impressive skincare products - which is probably a big thanks to Glow Giver range - especially the Supercharged AHA Toning Pads, and searches on TikTok and AHA products reaching 28 million. But now? They’ve dived into the makeup and beauty world in a big way - and we’re living for their products.

The makeup collection; NXT GEN MAKEUP launches today (17th October) and our Beauty Editor Sarah got her hands on the products before the official date. Her thoughts? “Well I am quite blown away by one product in particular”.

“I’ve had my hands on a fair few, tinted foundation and BB Creams in my time, but I absolutely love how fresh and dewy my skin looks with the Baby Beam Dew Filter Glow Base. It makes my face and skin still look like skin, but healthy, glowy and just more even - hiding any redness or dull looking skin.”

"This is my skin before using Baby Beam, and as you'll see from the after above, it's just as glowy - but more even"

Glow Hub say that “Baby Beam can be used as a primer, skin tint or highlighter - think of it as your one-stop-shop to instant glow, thanks to glycerin, hyaluronic acid and squalene” - and this combination of skincare goodness is just what our skin needs during the colder, darker and dull winter months.

Another product she got her hands on was the Buff Blush Glo_Up Colour Sticks, which add the most “gorgeous pop of colour to my cheeks, and I look more alive - which is always a good thing.”

The Buff Blush is the “ultimate multi-use colour product; use it on lips, cheeks or lids for a niacinamide-infused hit of colour - another killer skincare meets makeup hybrid product that your skin will love.”

“I mixed two shades together in the palm of my hand, and swirled them together with a fluffy brush to create a natural shade, but also one that still compliments my skin tone. I had the shades ‘Peach Tea’ and ‘Poppin’ which are a coral tone and a pinky-peach shade. Having green eyes and a pale/porcelain complexion, I feel like blend of these almost made my eyes look greener? Either way, I’ll 100% be adding them into my daily routine when I don’t fancy wearing much makeup - or just fancy a more natural look day to day.”

Swirling these two shades together gave Sarah the perfect mix, and made her eyes pop

And Sarah’s not the only one to rave about the gorgeous new blushers - one user said: “Thrown out my old blushes and now this is my GO TO! It's so easy to blend, and is super blurring, melts into my skin”. Another happy shopper said: “I love this formula of blush it applies amazing no matter what products I use underneath or on top! Peach tea is my favourite shade EVER”.

In addition to these beauty products, Glow Hub have also bought out Freeze Pls, a Brow and Edges Sculpt - which is a unique wax product equipped with two brushes, and a castor oil infused gel to keep brows and edges to hold hairs in place all day. There’s also the Gen Gleam Collagen_Up Lip Glow, which completes the range, and available in three shades of plumping, lip glow - infused with a unique team of peptides.

If you’re on the hunt for more skincare infused makeup, then you’ll probably love Erborian’s CC Cream, or cult favourite from IT Cosmetics and the CC+ Nude Glow Lightweight Foundation and Glow Serum with SPF40. Not only does this product disguise redness, but it has a healthy dose of SPF too - though we’d always recommend applying an actual SPF before makeup.

By Terry recently launched a Hyaluronic Hydra Pressed Powder, and not only sets your makeup and smoothes the look of pores in an instant - but it’s infused with hyaluronic acid too! How good is that?
