Meg Reilly: My 15 favourite beauty products

Viral TikTok comedian Meg Reilly – aka @fewcans – on affordable skincare, blinding highlighter and her drugstore cheat for fake freckles.

Meg Reilly

Bobbi Brown Intensive Skin Serum Foundation SPF 40, €56

A foundation that might as well be liquid skin it matches my face so well.

Meg Reilly

Bobbi Brown Extra Lip Tint, €36

It’s a clear balm that goes pink when applied, I don’t know why but I feel like a princess when I have it on.

Meg Reilly

Huda Beauty Legit Lashes Mascara, €31.60

I like big, thick lashes circa-2014 to really open my eyes and this gives me that level of volume. It’s probably my favourite thing in my make-up bag.

Meg Reilly

MAC Hyper Real Glow Palette, €49

The most hyperpigmentation you’ll find in a highlighter – I am looking to blind people.

Meg Reilly

Nivea Extra Rich Moisturising Lotion, €3.60

A basic! But an absolute must-have. The other fancy moisturisers don’t give me the fresh skin feeling this classic gives me.

Meg Reilly

Glossier You Solid, €28

Amazing! A balm-type product in a gorgeous little pink container that you rub in the places you’d put your perfume, smells like hot girl summer.

Uoma Stay Woke Concealer, €24.45

The perfect weight for a concealer, just need a tiny bit to cover my Gucci eyebags.

Barry M Cosmetics Freckle Tint, €7.49

A gorgeous little bottle of magic! A few dots on the nose and then blend it out with your finger for perfect summer freckles.

Barry M High Vis Liquid Eyeliner in Blue, €5.68

Anyone who knows me knows I’m MAD for colour and creative and fun make-up looks. This eyeliner adds all the spice I need for a funky look.

The Inkey List Kaolin Clay Mask, €6.20

Another affordable favourite! This mask is so good for anyone who struggles with clogged pores around the nose and cheek area.

Vita Liberata Body Blur Body Make-up, €37.99

So good if you’re lazy like me and do not have time for Thursday tanning, it just adds a warmth of colour to the neck and chest for summer outfits.

Bondi Sands Self Tanning Drops, €20.99

Golden product! You add a few drops to any moisturiser you have and it turns into a tanning moisturiser, in love with this!

No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced Serum, €32.95

I use this less for its anti-ageing but more for how it brightens up your under eyes after your skincare routine.

Bleach The Big Pink Super Cool Colour Shampoo, €8.99

If you don’t want to commit to the permanent colour for summer, this semi-permanent hair colour is amazing for events and last minute pop of colour on your look.

Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil, €29.50

She’s iconic, she’s legendary and she is the moment! I think some brow products need a lot of layering and I just don’t have time for that! This brow pencil goes on quickly and seamlessly.
