With summer holidays just a matter of weeks away now is the time to start thinking about the beauty must-haves you need in your make-up bag: after all, no one wants to be lugging around 20 lipsticks, 5 blushes and a handful of mascaras while on holiday.
Whether you’re beach bound, planning on lazing by the pool or are headed somewhere exotic, no look ticks all the boxes like the barely there, bare-faced beauty we’ve seen on the runway season after season. Thankfully it’s a look that’s super-duper easy to recreate, and better still, it only takes a handful of products; which means more room for all those swimsuits.
This little skincare wonder is the best of both worlds. Estee Lauder Revitalising Supreme Anti Aging Wakeup Balm ($99) not only nourishes skin and restores youthfulness, it gives your complexion a serious glow.
Ten benefits in one beauty balm. Who could resist the charm of Stay All Day HD Illuminating Beauty Balm
($62)? The formula provides the perfect amount of coverage but is lightweight, dewy and luminous – the perfect summer skin solution.
Can’t decide whether you need to pack a brow gel, pencil, powder or brush? The Brow Multitasker by Estée Lauder makes it easy – it’s part powder, part pencil, part brush.
Two of Nars’ most coveted products have been cleverly packaged together in one travel-friendly duo. The Laguna Orgasm Duo ($66) is all you need to sculpt and give skin that sun-kissed look.
A mascara that offers oodles of volume is what every beauty bag needs and YSL’s Shocking Volumising Mascara ($65) doesn’t disappoint. Lashes are amplified, clump-free and full of wow factor.
It’s easy to see understand why Dior’s Addict Lip Glow is a top seller. It’s glow-enhancing, nourishing and enhances your own lip colour. What’s not to love?
