As the temperatures are rising in the UK (finally!) we are switching up our wardrobes and it only makes sense to do the same with our makeup bags. If you’re in the market for reliable recommendations to embrace the trends and the weather, look no further – we’ve gathered key products that are go-to for the big names in the makeup artistry world. You’re welcome.
Aimee Cream Blush Colour in Peach Pop
Caroline Barnes (who has worked with the likes of Cheryl Cole and Kylie Minogue) backs this product as the best coral blush on the market right now. Universally flattering with a soft, velvety texture it won’t crease and will leave you with a glossy glow.
Fenty Beauty’s Pro Filt’r Foundation
Celebrity makeup artist Vincent Oquendo says he keeps this foundation in his ‘arsenal of tools.’ With a vast array of shades to choose from the range is super inclusive as well as being long-wearing, easily absorbed and buildable. With clients such as Dove Cameron and Catherine Zeta Jones in his roster (as well as being a bonified celebrity in his own right), we will 100% listen to him for what products we should be wearing this summer.
Smashbox Oil and Shine Control Primer
Prepping before applying your base is essential to make your makeup stay on all day in the summer heat. New York City-based Joseph Carrillo loves the Smashbox Primer that staves off any shine before cracking on with the base.
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser Natural Skin Perfector
Because who wants to wear a full coverage foundation in scorching weather? Makeup artist Robert Sesneck (who works with Adriana Lima and Julianne Moore) suggests the Laura Mercier primer, as it’s oil-free and will leave a sheerer appearance on the skin.
Charlotte Tilbury Eyes to Mesmerize Cream Eyeshadow
Industry veteran Adam Burrell recommends the Charlotte Tilbury Eyes to Mesmerize Cream Shadow as his favourite eye product for the summer. ‘Pairing it with the brand’s Colour Chameleons is a quick way to create a professional-level eye look that’s long-wearing and waterproof’ he explains. The range includes 9 flattering and crease-proof shades – we love it in Champagne.
YSL Couture Clutch
Paul Garcia, YSL Beauty Director of Education and Artistry tells TZR that he loves the YSL Couture Clutch as a liner for a graphic eye look saying, ‘The eye shadow palettes come with ten bold and easy shades all housed in a clutch as the ultimate accessory.’
