Supermodel-approved: The clever contour trick Kate Moss relies on for a subtle, sculpted glow

Known for her lit-from-within, sculpted complexion, Kate Moss champions the effortless, off-duty model look with every public appearance – and she's finally let us in on her secret.

Once upon a time, we could only imagine the goldmine of Moss' beauty bag, whether that be the best foundation she uses day-to-day or her go-to best cream bronzer, but that's all changed.

Fortunately for us, the supermodel isn't known to gatekeep her favourite beauty buys - notably, Kate Moss' perfume of choice – and now she's lifted the lid on the product and application trick she swears by for glowing skin. What's more, the buys even have the approval from her Gen-Z daughter...

Kate's exact contour wand

This easy and lightweight creamy contour wand works to sculpt your face, accentuating your cheekbones and sharpening your jawline whilst also adding that all-important glow. And, in case you're set for bronzers, it's also available in highlighter and blush shades too.

Kate's exact foundation

Available in 28 shades, this foundation offers buildable, medium coverage and is a favourite of woman&home's Digital Lifestyle Editor, Tamara Kelly, who says a little goes a long way: "It offers great coverage but doesn't feel heavy or cakey on the skin - which is vital for 'ageing' skin. I have oily skin so finding a foundation that doesn't feel like it's sliding off my face has been a delight."

Sharing a video to COSMOSS' Instagram (Kate Moss' wellness and beauty brand), the model gave us a whistle-stop tour of her 'actual' makeup bag, which featured her favourite foundation and bronzer.

Boasting a squeezable tube with a rounded sponge applicator, Moss withdrew the cult-favourite liquid bronzing stick and delved into exactly how she applies it – as taught by her daughter, Lila Moss.

"She just said 'Mummy, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot..." Moss explains, whilst simultaneously demonstrating everywhere she applies said dots, including under her cheekbones, under her jawline, down her neck and across her forehead, before blending them out.

Moss then quipped: "How I didn't know about that after 30 years?" and then went on to add that she actually does this for glow, as opposed to trying to accentuate her facial structure: "I don't use it for cheekbones, I use it for glow." This is a great makeup tip if you prefer a more subtle finish or find contouring, in general, a struggle, and will make the perfect addition to your summertime routine.

As for the foundation, it offers a buildable, medium-coverage and glowy finish - making it a great option for those who already favour the best skin tints or more lightweight base products but are looking for a tad more blurring.
