Expect Whatsapp chat groups to light up, Love Island is back. While you might be comparing notes on the grafting and gossip inside the Villa, it’s as likely you’re commenting on the poolside glamour at Casa Amor - the rainbow-bright string bikinis, polished make-up and heat-defying Hollywood waves.
We’ve chosen our top beauty products that we’d throw into our yellow suitcase if we were looking to impress ‘the one’.
Go For Golden: To show off barely-there bikinis, islanders are known to use self-tan to make an impression from day one. To get a professional finish, without the giveaway orange palms, we recommend using the Sunkissed Super Soft Velvet Tanning Mitt to apply St Moritz Mousse in Medium. Apply the tan in sweeping motions evenly over the body and buff to a streak-free, golden tan.
All About the Base: For when you’re getting up close and personal, you want skin that’s touchable. It starts with clear skin to create a smooth base for your make-up. Our pick is the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Exfoliator Smoothing Gel 150ml which exfoliates the skin and removes dirt, oil and dead skin cells to give you glowing skin. It contains hyaluronic acid which is known to boost your skin’s hydration and leaves it soft, supple and refreshed. Perfect for a close-up.
Get Set: When you’ve spent hours applying your make-up, the last thing you’d want is to sweat it off when temperatures soar. To set make-up in place and give you an added glow, we love the Technic Setting Spray in Rose Gold. It gives you a glowing, illuminated complexion that will turn heads.
Eyes On: To get the Love Island look, statement eye make-up is a must. To achieve flutter-worthy lashes, we’d recommend the Eylure Individual Lashes, Fine to Full to create volume on the lash line, especially in the outside corners to give a cat-flick effect.
Frame Your Face: To draw attention to your killer eye make-up, tame unruly eyebrows into defined arches. We use the Technic Clear Brow Gel that gives you a thicker texture and fixes brows into place.
