As Maura Higgins prepares for her latest television role, the reality star gave fans a glimpse at the makeup must-haves she used to create her summer glow on holiday
Maura Higgins is preparing to step into her latest stint on reality TV, as it was recently announced that she would be joining the American version of The Traitors. Before heading into the famed Traitors castle, Maura has spent the last few months jetting off around the world for both holiday and work, and along the way has given fans a glimpse at the products she uses to create her glowy holiday makeup.
Although she shared a complete breakdown of all of the products she uses, there were three in particular that were responsible for creating her bronzed glow… and they’re all under £25. Hailing from affordable brands like L’Oreal and REFY, Maura’s sunkissed makeup look is easy and affordable to copy, and we can guarantee her go-to products will be making their way into our holiday makeup bags this year.

One reason Maura’s holiday look is so enviable is its soft, subtle glow that looks healthy and radiant, rather than shiny or oily. For her base, Maura used the L’Oréal Paris Paradise Lumi Glotion, which is a steal at £11.99, which acts as a glow-boosting skin tint that brightens and hydrates your skin for up to 24 hours – perfect for wearing in the sun.
It acts as a primer, foundation, highlighter and contour in one, saving you space in your travel beauty bag, and contains glycerin and shea butter which helps moisturise your skin. It comes in a variety of shades to suit all skin tones, giving you a fresh, natural-looking glow.
To accentuate her tan, Maura applied REFY’s £18 Cream Bronzer to help sculpt her features and add some extra bronzing without the sun damage. The cream formula is buildable with a weightless finish, and contains vitamin E and sunflower seed oil, which help hydrate and condition your skin whilst also getting rid of excess oil.
Finally to add some extra glow, Maura applied Vieve’s Skin Dew liquid highlighter, £24, which is also packed with skin-loving ingredients like papaya fruit extract, which brightens and adds radiance, shea butter and argan oil for hydration and conditioning, and dragon’s blood extract and squalene to moisturise and nourish your complexion. The liquid highlighter also contains golden light-reflecting pigments that suit all skin tones, giving you that instant golden hour glow.
Everything comes in handy travel-sized packaging that leaves plenty of room in your beauty bag and gets through hand luggage restrictions, and each one helps hydrate and nourish your skin making them perfect after a day in the sun.
