Harriett Blackmore’s beauty tricks for a flawless Love Island look – from a £5 brow buy to a Boots find that hides spots
HARRIETT Blackmore confidently strutted back into the Love Island villa last night, for her round two attempt at finding love.
But not only did she raise eyebrows when she snogged the boys as part of the show’s iconic kissing challenge, but she also left viewers open-mouthed with her flawless skin.
There’s no doubt that the 24-year-old influencer, who first appeared on our screens last year, looks better than ever.
And luckily for you, here we can reveal the secrets behind the All Stars icon’s gorgeous look – from the £5.85 brow product she swears by, to a BB cream that conceals blemishes.
Harriett, who was coupled up with Ronnie Vint, 28, last year and is sure to turn up the heat in the villa this time round, revealed all to Heat on her skincare and beauty routine.
So if you want to look fabulous, just like Harriett, but without breaking the bank, fear not, as we’ve got you covered.
The dancer turned Love Island legend confessed that she isn’t as into make-up as people may think – but has a handful of products that are staples in her beauty bag.
She explained: “I’m not a big make-up person, to be honest. I know that’s a weird thing to say in this industry, but day-to-day in the villa I didn’t wear that much make-up.
“I would just use the got2b Brow Gel to fluff up my brows and the L’Oreal Age Perfect BB Cover if I had any blemishes or if I wanted to be a bit more glam.”
Harriett claimed that she “never really wears foundation” and instead, uses the “amazing” BB cream.
She described it as “affordable” and praised the “amazing” coverage, as she added: “I tell everyone to buy it. I had a meeting with my manager who asked what I was wearing and I was like, ‘Babe, you need to get this!'”
If you want to try out Harriett’s much-loved got2b Brow Gel, you’ll find it now for just £5.85 from Boots.
The super strong innovative styling gel is designed to make sure that your brows and edges stay in place all day long.
The invisible formula is vegan, free of silicones and is fast drying with no flakes, stickiness or residue.

And as well as this, Harriett also revealed the £6.59 beauty buy she took into the villa last year and can’t live without.
She shared: “It’s such a weird one but basically I brought it in from home because one of my friends from home used it. We used to use the Lansinoh nipple cream on our lips.
“That sounds so weird but it honestly gives you the most amazing glow. Everyone in the villa would just be putting nipple cream on their lips. I honestly can’t use anything else.”
When it comes to her skincare, she confessed: “I’ve always been lucky with my skin. If I get spots they just go the next day. I try and not to do too much, less is more.
“The more I do to my skin, the more breakouts and stuff I’ll get. I usually will do hot water and just a bit of spot cream. Everyone’s different, but I try not to do too much.”
