SUMMER MOOD MAKE-UP

-

● Boost your vacay va-va-voom and disguise uneven pigmentati­on patches that can crop up in the sun with a colour correcting base. It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream Illuminati­on SPF50+, £30, is a beauty insiders’ favourite that uses light-reflecting particles to leave complexion­s looking glowing and even.

● Take yourself back to the swim-up cocktail bar with a tropical lip balm or gloss. L’oréal Lip Spa Moisturisi­ng Lip Tint in Oil Jelly Peach, £8.99, and Winky Lux Watermelon Jelly Balm, £13, hydrate post-holiday lips with a hint of a tint and happy, fruity scents.

● Eyes sparkle against a tan – a coloured liner will make them ‘pop’ even more. Aqua-blue, emerald-green or lilac (this season’s favourite shade) look pretty along the upper lashline and bring the ocean vibes back home. Gosh Eyeliner Velvet Touch I Sea You, £5.49, is a joy to use.

● Brighten bronzed skin (which can look dull as your tan starts to fade) with liquid highlighte­r. Either mix a few drops into your base for a lit-from-within look or dab on to the highest parts of your face where the sunlight would hit your skin (cheekbones, temples and the bridge of your nose). We like Max Factor Miracle Glow Pro Illuminato­r, £10.99, and Studio 10 Youth Lift Glow-plexion, £26, and always add a tiny bit to the centre of our eyelids for a wideeyed, youthful look. ● Recreate your radiant barefaced holiday style with Nudestix Nudies All Over Face Colour Glow in Hey Honey, £28. It’s a handy stick that can be swept on to eyes, cheeks and lips with fingers or a brush for easy ‘no make-up’ make-up. Bright nails work as well at home as they did on the beach – just keep them short for the smartest shape. Barry M Coconut Infusion Nail Paint, £4.99, uses coconut oil and coconut water to keep nails in show-off condition when the polish comes off. Try Flip-flop (a high-shine orange) or Popsicle (a vibrant pink).
