These Are the Trinny London Products That Live in My Makeup Bag
BY JENNY JUNG
A round-up of the best Trinny London products, from glowy skin tints to potent serums.
30 MAR - 2026
Stackable, buildable, wearable makeup for everyday and anywhere.
If Trinny London isn't already on your radar, consider this your official introduction. Everything is designed to be easy to use, flattering on real skin and actually good for your complexion at the same time. It's the kind of brand that makes you want to rebuild your whole routine around it. I've been testing some of their standout products lately, and these are the ones I keep reaching for.
BFF De-stress
At this point, base products that don’t come with skincare benefits feel a little outdated. If your BB cream or foundation isn’t doing something good for your skin, what’s the point?
BFF De-Stress is one of those formulas that sits perfectly between makeup and skincare. It uses NP-TriOX™ technology and neurophroline to help manage the visible effects of stress on the skin (something we could all use), alongside hyaluronic acid for instant hydration.
The finish is very radiant with low to medium coverage, which I personally love. Not everyone needs full coverage. This is more about skin perfecting, evening things out, adding glow and making your complexion look juicy and healthy rather than overly made up.
Trinny London, BFF De-stress, $87 NZD.
BFF Eye Serum Concealer
If you love the De-Stress Skin Tint, the BFF Eye Serum Concealer will make perfect sense in your routine.
It’s very much the same philosophy: makeup that also treats your skin. The formula helps depuff, hydrate and soothe the under-eye area, and with continued use you actually start to notice the skincare benefits.
Also, the cooling metal tip applicator? Divine. Especially when you’re applying concealer at 7am and your eyes still look like they’re asleep.
Trinny London, BFF Eye Serum Concealer, $62 NZD.
Take Back Time Hydrating Elixir Serum
If you haven’t explored Trinny London skincare yet, you’re genuinely missing out.
The Take Back Time Hydrating Elixir Serum is tiny but incredibly potent. One small dab at night is honestly enough, and when you wake up your skin just looks… better. More hydrated and noticeably fresher.
The formula is designed to deliver active ingredients deep into the skin while targeting the five signs of skin vitality: hydration, elasticity, smoothness, softness and luminosity.
There are some really interesting ingredients inside too:
- Artichoke polyphenols to stimulate microcirculation and boost oxygen flow.
- A pro-vitamin lipid complex with B5, trehalose, xylitol and squalane to strengthen the skin barrier.
- Micro-infusion technology that helps deliver these actives deeper into the epidermis.
Basically, it’s one of those serums that quietly works in the background making your skin healthier over time.
Trinny London, Take Back Time Hydrating Elixir Serum, $158 NZD.
Boost Up 30% Vitamin C Serum
Just to preface, this is not a beginner vitamin C serum. With 30% vitamin C, this formula is seriously potent, so it’s best suited to people who are already used to active ingredients and whose skin isn’t overly sensitive.
The formula also includes:
- Plankton extract to enhance glow.
- Lemon peel ferment to help even out tone.
- Lactococcus ferment to revive tired skin.
If your complexion has been looking a little flat or lacklustre lately, this is the type of serum that can bring it back.
One thing I also appreciate is the packaging. Vitamin C is notoriously unstable and oxidises easily, but Trinny London uses opaque pump packaging which helps maintain the ingredient’s potency for much longer.
Trinny London, Boost Up 30% Vitamin C Serum, $145 NZD.
Complexion T Brush
Trinny London brushes are honestly very underrated.
The Complexion T Brush is my favourite because it can cover a lot of ground in one stroke. The bristles are soft, the density is just right and it works beautifully with both cream and powder products.
If you’re already buying into the Trinny London stackable makeup system, definitely don’t skip their brushes.
Trinny London, Complexion T Brush, $55 NZD.
Lip + Cheek + Eye Trinity New York
The Trinity products are probably one of the most recognisable things about Trinny London.
Each compact has a dual-ended design — one side is a creamy matte blush, while the other is a sheer, dewy balm that gives that really pretty glassy skin glow.
The shade New York feels very 2026 to me. It creates a super natural flush with the perfect mix of red and brown tones, so it looks like the colour is genuinely coming from within the skin rather than sitting on top of it.
Trinny London, Lip + Cheek + Eye Trinity New York, $76 NZD.
Eye2Eye Harmony
The Eye2Eye range is made up of moisture-rich cream eye shadows that are designed to be incredibly easy to blend and build.
My personal favourite is Harmony, which is a warm neutral brown that works as the perfect everyday wash of colour. One quick sweep instantly helps neutralise redness or uneven tone around the eyes and makes everything look more awake.
There are also loads of other shades available, so there’s genuinely something for every skin tone.
Trinny London, Eye2Eye, Harmony, $42 NZD.
Lash2Brow
If your makeup routine needs to be quick, Lash2Brow is a great product to have around.
The mascara side gives lift, volume and length without smudging or leaving lashes feeling crunchy. Then on the other end, you have a slightly tinted brow gel that quickly shapes and sets everything in place.
It’s very much in line with the Trinny London philosophy — easy, efficient and fuss-free beauty.
Trinny London, Lash2Brow, $65 NZD.
Lip Glow Lip Gloss
Lip Glow is not your typical sticky lip gloss.
The formula is completely non-tacky, incredibly hydrating and comes in a really beautiful shade range — from nudes and corals all the way to berries and reds.
If you’re a makeup artist, these are also great additions to your kit. The stackable packaging makes them easy to transport, and the formula can transform even the driest lips into something smooth, glossy and hydrated.
Trinny London, Lip Glow Lip Gloss, $40 NZD.
Honestly, Trinny London is one of those brands that just gets better the more you explore it – the skincare thinking that goes into the formula, the packaging that makes life easier, the shades that feel current without being intimidating. Whether you start with one product or dive in headfirst, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
