Youth To The People Superfood Cleanser “If you’re looking for a cleanser that’ll keep your skin feeling fresh through the hot and sticky summer, this gel-based formula is a must-try. It’s packed with antioxidants and thoroughly cleanses skin without leaving it dry — perfect for morning and nighttime use.” Clinique Moisture Surge 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator “A cult product for many, many good reasons, this moisturiser has been my go-to for longer than I can remember. It’s the perfect hydrator for every season, especially sticky summers, because of how lightweight it is. The aloe, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and E blend make it ideal for every skin type.” Benefit Cosmetics The Porefessional Wow Polish Triple Pore-Exfoliating Powder “Exfoliation is key for the season, and this gentle powder formula leaves my skin fresh and glowy with every single use. It combines pearlite, lactic acid and gluconolactone that help reduce oil production and minimise pores for a smooth canvas, without feeling like a harsh scrub.” Caudalie Resveratrol-Lift Firming Night Cream “This is one of the few night creams that works heavy-duty without being too rich or greasy. It feels incredibly comfortable on application and ensures I wake up with soft, plump skin every single morning. Plus, it contains the brand’s patented, anti-ageing Resveratrol and vegan collagen that promises to fill in wrinkles and firm and lift your skin overtime.” Lancôme UV Expert Youth Aqua Gel SPF 50 PA++++ “Sun protection is non-negotiable, no matter the season, and lightweight formulas are my preferred choice, especially the kind that also shield against pollution. This broad spectrum sunscreen sinks in quickly without any white cast, and adds a healthy glow to your skin, as your last skincare step. It’s also non-comedogenic so there’s no fear of breakouts.” Maison Margiela Replica Sailing Day Eau de Toilette “Summer means beach holidays, salty air, and a margarita by the pool, but even if you’re not jet-setting, scents like this one allow you to experience it every single day. It’s a woody, aquatic fragrance that instantly transports you to your private catamaran — a feeling like no other.” Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat Illuminating Pen “If you’re a barely-there makeup girl like me, you’ll love this concealing brush pen. It instantly brightens my under-eye area, works on any tiny spots of discolouration, is super lightweight and easily blends with just my fingers. Perfect to keep handy on-the-go.” Anastasia Beverly Hills Beauty Balm Serum Boosted Skin Tint “One of the loveliest skin tints out there in a travel-friendly stick format, you’ll want to keep this handy for upcoming trips. It blends seamlessly and delivers sheer coverage for a my-skin-but-better-look. Also ideal for lazy days when you’ve only got a few minutes on hand to feel put together (we all have them).” Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara “I’ve lost track of the number of tubes I’ve used and repurchased of this globally-loved formula. Lengthy, voluminous lashes instantly open up your eyes — you can even ditch eyeliner or kohl — and this one promises just enough volume that’s perfect for work, brunch and a bar night.” MAC Studio Radiance 24Hr Luminous Lift Concealer “This creamy, brightening concealer, that’s also created with skin-benefitting ingredients, will make you ditch your foundation altogether. All you need to do is dot it around areas you would like to cover — a little goes a long way — and blend. It masks my dark circles almost entirely and doesn’t crease very quickly; I use it on days where a full face of makeup is the need of the hour.” Dior Rouge Blush in 028 Actrice “While I’m a shimmer blush user on most days (like this one), some occasions call for a matte flush of colour. I love that the Rouge Blush range features colours in both those finishes along with satin and holographic. The powder applies beautifully without any streaking and stays put all day — call it the perfect summery coral flush.” Pixi Beauty Endless Silky Eye Pen in Bronze Beam “Ditch your traditional black kohl for a soft brown hue for the season. It accentuates your eyes without appearing too stark and looks even better when blended out for a soft, smoky look.” Bobbi Brown Extra Lip Tint in Bare Punch “It’s the perfect bright pink veil of colour for your lips, powered by six botanical oils to keep them plump and soft. You’ll find yourself gravitating towards this everyday.” Prada Monochrome Soft Matte Lipstick in R217 Carminio “No matter the season, red is my signature colour and this bullet ticks all the right boxes. It’s a velvet matte, cool-toned, pink-red colour that pops on my skin and gives my lips the power-packed punch I love. The chic metal casing and embossed branding on the tube are a feel-good bonus.”
