There is much to love about the “thumb-print” eyeliner at Tom Ford. There’s the sweet childishness – it’s impossible to screw up. There’s also the graphic shock of a blob of black where the eye expects a flick, and then, going deeper, there’s something interestingly dark about the idea of fingerprints and surveillance. But mainly it’s lovable for its precise messiness – use your fingers, of course.

Say it with flowers
We can’t get enough of Romilly Wilde’s Idle perfume. It’s odd yet subtle, a combination of mandarin, jasmine, cardamom and blossom. The brand is known for its skincare, but it is this we reach for every day. £90, romillywilde.com.
Men in mind
Le Labo, the cult perfume house behind the legendary Santal 33, debuted a body, hair and face range last year. And now it has released an exclusive men’s grooming range. Try the face bronzer, with turmeric and sunflower. From £22, mrporter.com.
On the lash
This week (after 248 formulations) Glossier introduce the Lash Slick, a mascara that delivers what its famous Boy Brow does for your brows, but for your eyes, enhancing lashes rather than clumping them with product. £14, glossier.com.
