Summer make-up is meant to be easy.
What we want are no-fuss products that are effortless to apply, quickly, preferably with our fingers. It’s all about glowing skin, shiny lips, sparkly eyes and as we shed more layers, gleaming, polished-looking limbs as they’ll be on show again.
This is the time to try something new, whether it’s a flash of colourful eyeliner or adding some subtle sparkle to our skin and hair.
We can’t rely on the weather, but we can bring some sunshine into our lives with these.
Better still, they all have purse-pleasing price tags, with everything here costing less than a tenner.
NATURALLY SUN-KISSED
This gives you a natural, sun-kissed look that produces a gorgeous glow without a fleck of glitter. You can mix the drops with foundation or moisturiser and apply it to your face and body using a sponge, brush or fingers.
If you want a deeper effect, you can use the drops on their own after moisturising. The ingredients include squalane, hyaluronic acid and grapeseed oil for super hydrating results.
FOOLPROOF LINER
Whether you’re making a statement with a dramatic thick stroke or prefer to draw a fine line to enhance your eyes, this liner has a precision felt tip that makes the job simple. As well as being long-wearing and highly pigmented, it’s waterproof, so withstands heat and humidity. Available in eight shades – play it safe with Film Noir (black) or dial up the colour with Bluebird (light blue); Sugarplum (dark purple) or Lavender Daze (light purple).
JUST ENOUGH BLUSH
I’m a fan of liquid blusher in warmer weather. All you need is a bit of a flush, which is sometimes harder to control with cream or powder formulas. Liquid is easier to apply and is buildable to give you a just a soft hint of colour to perk up a tired complexion. It comes in three shades – my favourite is Idyllic, a bright pink. Go easy when applying this as just a couple of drops will do the job. For the best results, apply lightly with your fingers and blend into your skin.
ON-THE-GO EYES
Perfect for travel or on-the-go eye looks wherever you are, these mini eye shadow palettes have everything you need to create for multiple looks for day and night. With just four highly pigmented shadows with matte and metallic finishes (and we don’t really use any more than four, do we?) choose from Dubai Deserts (sandy neutrals); Miami Beach (warm shades of coral and pink) and Norway Nightfall (deep browns and greys). They go on smoothly and are easy to apply with your fingers.
GLEAMING NAILS
Sandal season is upon us again, so like it or not, toes are back on show. The ‘glazed pedi’ look is one of the hottest looks
