Last week saw the launch of Bobbi Brown in Debenham's Silverburn.

The top beauty brand is the latest addition to the store's beauty hall, which now boasts a variety of brilliant brands including Mac, Chanel, Benefit and Urban Decay to name but a few - it's now one of my favourite places to shop.

Bobbi Brown is the top make-up artist who is recognised worldwide for her work on top celebrities. If you've never tried her range of make-up and skincare products, you're missing out. The brand offers high quality skincare and make-up ranges that focus on helping you become more beautiful, but still look and feel like yourself - something Bobbi says is really important.

It's really no wonder that Kate Middleton wore Bobbi Brown make-up on her wedding day, and as a make-up artist, I consider some of the products to be must-haves in my kit as they are long-lasting, flattering and wearable.

To test the products out for yourself, visit Bobbi Brown in Debenhams Silverburn for your complimentary make-up lesson. In the meantime, to celebrate the opening I thought I'd share with you five of my all-time Bobbi Brown favourites.

1. Gel Eyeliner, £17.50

This is a miracle in a pot! Brilliant for creating classic eyeliner flicks, it's a long-lasting gel eyeliner which is easy to apply and blend. If you find liquid eyeliner a bit tricky, then give this a try. It's a thicker consistency and dries quicker, so it is far easier to apply and in my experience lasts far longer. Apply close to your lash line right along your eyelid for instantly more defined eyes. It comes in a range of colours, with Black Ink and Sepia being my favourite.

2. Pot Rouge, £19

For an instant glow on cheeks and lips, Pot Rouge is my go-to product. It's a creamy formula blusher that can be applied to lips and cheeks with your fingers or with a brush. If you're not into a matt or powdery look, but still want colour on your cheeks, you'll absolutely love this.

3. Hydrating Face Tonic, £20

Seriously, I'd be lost without this. Often when I come out the shower having cleansed my face, my skin feels a little tight and still not totally squeaky clean. This really refreshes the skin and has cucumber in it, so it's lovely and tingly. It's also great for getting your skin ready for make-up application, so follow it up with your favourite moisturiser and then primer.

4. Full Coverage Face Brush, £29.50

This is my new favourite brush, which I bought on the opening night. It applies my liquid foundation flawlessly and quickly - no going back and forth with a flat brush. Okay, it's a little bit pricey, but if you love make-up, show your foundation some love and use this to apply it.

5. BB Cream, £29

My mum is more of a tinted moisturiser fan than a foundation lover. She prefers a healthy, dewy glow than a matt foundation. However, after trying the BB Cream she was converted from tinted moisturiser. This product gives just the right amount of coverage to give skin a natural-looking, even skintone. It hydrates, protects and brightens the skin and is definitely a good product for everyday wear. If you're off on holiday, it also has an SPF - hooray!
