If you asked us who we’d like to couple up most with from this year’s Love Island All Stars line-up, it’s our gal, Maya Jama. From her long, flowing locks and snatched make-up, to her glowing complexion, the host’s stunning looks and epic slo-mo walk have had us ­– and the whole of Twitter – wondering why she isn't bagging the 50K herself.

“Maya is the finest person on Love Island this season and it’s not even close," one person tweets.

“It should be illegal to have a host this fit,” another writes, as a third adds: “Just give Maya the 50K now".

"How the hell is anyone supposed to find love when Maya Jama keeps walking in and out looking like this," a fourth says.

Though we'd imagine that much of her beauty is down to genetics, we couldn't help but grill her make-up artist Letitia Sophia, to find which products the presenter swears by, including the secret behind her head-to-toe glow.

The answer? A blend of glistening body oils, gold-speckled bronzer and S19 SUPER FX’s Body Makeup .Think of it like a foundation for the arms, legs, chest etc. “I absolutely love it for smoothing out the skin tone,” Letitia tells heat.

Described on the brand's own website as an "easy-to-apply ‘everyday’ formula that instantly smooths, evens, and perfects skin appearance" it's perfect if you want a natural-looking glow in winter, without having to apply fake tan.

"This was bought on a recommendation, it is easy to apply, very attractive and stays in place for ages," said one chuffed customer.

What's more, the bargain body makeup could be likened to [Vita Liberata Body Blur {href='https://www.lookfantastic.com/vita-liberata-body-blur-100ml-various-shades/13514857.html' target='_blank' rel='noreferrer noopener nofollow'}) – a beauty buy loved by celebs like Kim Kardashian, Gigi Hadid and Hailey Bieber. The difference? Maya's pick is a whopping £20 cheaper!

Maya's not the only one loving the dupe either. S19's version has racked up tons of 'glowing' reviews on Amazon's website, with one shopper calling it a "sun tan in a bottle" and another dubbing it "amazing".

They continue: "If you’ve forgotten to fake tan, your fake tan is a few days old and gone patchy or if you have any shaving dots etc on your legs then this product will be your new bestie.  It gives you the most gorgeous bronzed glow, making your body look flawless and like you’ve just gotten off holiday! Instant perfection."
