Space NK has been a part of the British beauty offering since 1992, when its founder, Nicky Kinnaird (hence the "NK" part of its name), opened the first boutique in Covent Garden. Since then, the British retailer has expanded to Ireland and America with almost 100 stores worldwide. It's a trusted go-to for beauty lovers, influencers, and editors alike, such is the expert edit of products on offer.
Described as a luxury beauty retailer, Space NK [1] stocks high-end brands like Chantecaille, Kevyn Aucoin, and Sisley, as well as cool, modern brands including Drunk Elephant, Becca Cosmetics, and most recently Charlotte Tilbury.
Being such a trusted beauty go-to, we wanted to find out what the bestselling beauty brands are at Space NK; luckily, we managed to snag that intel and have shared it ahead. From the hair treatment that's so good it's a bestseller on Cult Beauty [2], too, to the tanning serum everyone's raving about, check out the 10 hottest beauty buys at Space NK right now.
Tan-Luxe Super Glow Hyaluronic Self-Tan Serum
Packed with hyaluronic acid [3] and antioxidants, Tan-Luxe Super Glow Hyaluronic Self-Tan Serum [4] (£35) is a beauty editor favourite. It adds a Summer glow to your complexion all year round, without drying or clogging your skin. In fact, thanks to the hyaluronic acid, it leaves skin as supple and moisturised as any traditional HA serum [5] on the market.
Emma Hardie Amazing Face Moringa Cleansing Balm
Cleansing balms make light work of removing makeup, dirt, and pollution, and Emma Hardie Amazing Face Moringa Cleansing Balm [6] (£47) is no exception. Packed with radiance-boosting rose extract and nourishing vitamin E, this leaves skin plump and smooth. Plus, you get the added benefit of gentle exfoliation thanks to the cloth it comes with.
Kevyn Aucoin The Volume Mascara
For long, shiny, separated lashes, look no further than Kevyn Aucoin The Volume Mascara [7] (£23). The formula, which is a favourite amongst professional makeup artists [8], doesn't clump, flake, or smudge, and it infuses lashes with conditioning jojoba oil, too.
Becca Cosmetics Under Eye Brightening Corrector
This Becca Cosmetics Under Eye Brightening Corrector [9] (£21) makes light work of concealing dark circles. The peachy hue cancels out blueish tones undereyes can can have whilst brightening, too. A little goes a long way; tap and blend gently, and it won't settle into fine lines.
Malin + Goetz Eucalyptus Deodorant
Eucalyptus is naturally antibacterial and antiseptic, which is why it's the hero ingredient in Malin + Goetz's Eucalyptus Deodorant [10] (£19). Suitable for even the most sensitive underarms, this lightweight — and aluminum-free — deodorant doesn't leave skin feeling tacky, nor does it stain clothes, but it does leave you feeling fresh all day.
Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream
Containing nine different peptides, Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream [11] (£57) boosts your skin's natural production of collagen whilst also enhancing elasticity. Pygmy waterlily stem cell extract leaves your complexion feeling hydrated and soothed. The clever pump-action pot allows you to decant the moisturiser and use the lid as a palette to mix in serums before applying to the skin in one go.
Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder
Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder [12] (£30) takes down unwanted shine and blurs the complexion without leaving the skin looking too matte or flat. A light dusting of this long-lasting setting powder is all you need for a luminous-looking complexion. Little wonder that it's a Space NK bestseller.
Hourglass Caution Extreme Lash Mascara
With its tapered brush for precision application that enables you to coat every hair, Hourglass Caution Extreme Lash Mascara [13] (£25) is for anyone who wants standout lashes. The vegan formula is buildable so you can take your lashes from day to night with zero budging or smudging.
Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer
With light-diffusing particles, Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer [14] (£24) covers dark circles, blemishes, and redness with ease. A celeb favourite (Kylie Jenner [15] and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley [16] have raved about it in the past), this concealer is seriously pigmented but lightweight so you can build up the covering with no risk of it creasing or settling in pores and fine lines.
Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector
Another Space NK bestseller is Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector [17] (£26). The at-home treatment works inside your strands to restructure the bonds that can be broken from colouring or heat styling. Hair looks shinier and feels softer, and split ends are less visible.
