Shiseido Sun Protection Liquid Make Up

If you can’t bear to be parted from your foundation, this is a must for your suitcase. Foundation on top of SPF can often lead to everything sliding around, but this amazing new foundation is an all-in-one wonder product! Broad Spectrum SPF 30 UVA/UVB protection is combined in a lightweight, transfer-resistant foundation to keep skin looking fresh and matt for hours.

Benefit Cha Cha Tint

A sister product to Benefit’s Benetint (a long time favourite of beauty enthusiasts – we swear by it!) this mango-tinted lip and cheek stain is easily blended and stays colour-true from morning to night. We love the gorgeous coral glow and sheer pop of colour – perfect for summer.

Bobbi Brown Long-wear Gel Eyeliner

We’ve long been fans of this award-winning eyeliner - it glides on smoothly (far easier than a liquid liner), it’s water-resistant and won’t smear or crease, so you won’t need to top it up throughout the day.

For a chic summer poolside look, try the chocolate shimmer shade - slightly softer than the black, it defines the eyes beautifully with a hint of summery shimmer.
