Superdrug commercial director, Simon Comins said in a statement via MailOnline: “Holly really is the celeb of the moment following what’s been an incredible year for her. She’s become a beauty star renowned for her effortless, natural look which our customers can clearly relate to.”

He added: “This year we’ve seen concealers outperform beauty staple foundations for the first time, indicating our customers are choosing a more understated look in comparison to the heavily contoured styles sported by the biggest reality stars on social media.”
