Nine things to update your beauty cabinet with for summer

 







THE FACIALIST: UNA BRENNAN, whose famous clients include the always spot-free Sienna Miller

SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic
“This is such a powerful antioxidant serum. Not only does it protect and repair the skin from external aggressors, it helps stimulate collagen for more youthful looking skin. I never go a day without it and believe everyone should use a topical vitamin C antioxidant in this form.”

Clarisonic Opal Sonic Infusion
“This is fantastic for kick-starting under eye lymph drainage, which is a massive bonus for those who suffer from puffy eyes or dark circles. It also helps your eye cream penetrate the skin more easily. Perfect after a late night out.”

Epicuren Acidophilus Probiotic Facial Cream
“Perfect for even the most sensitive skin. My favorite moisturizer for calming redness and inhibiting breakouts, this cream will make your skin clear and glowing.”



THE MAKE-UP ARTIST: FRANCESCA TOLOT, who has worked on the perma-flawless Beyoncé Knowles

Chanel Illusion d’Ombre Eyeshadow in Illusoire
“Even in balmy temperatures, this eyeshadow won’t crease and cake up on the eyelids or cause uncomfortable powdery heaviness. The taupe shade is a universal color that adds depth to the look in your eyes.”

NARS Blush Bronzer Trio in Laguna Albatross and Orgasm
“When it’s hot and humid your face doesn’t need to be smothered in make up. Unless you have bad skin, avoid heavy foundation in the summer. This palette is the perfect alternative to foundation if you want extra shimmer and glow to your face.”

Dior Vernis in Nirvana
“Summertime means exposed hands and toes, so you need to get the color right. I love darker, vibrant shades (even in summer!) as they look beautiful on anyone but for something a bit more out there, I love the turquoise Dior Vernis Nirvana. It’s a color that requires commitment but it’s worth the risk.”



The DERMATOLOGIST: Dr Lisa Airan, whose celebrity credentials include the swoon-worthy Tom Ford



Clarisonic Skincare Brush
“In the summer, sweat, oil and dirt can clog up your pores. Use this brush to clean, soften and smooth skin. It also removes six times more makeup and twice as much dirt than any other method.”

 

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen SPF 70
“If you’re planning on spending the day soaking up the sun, this is the best sunscreen to use. It’s ultra lightweight and contains Helioplex that provides broad UV coverage.”

 

Elure Advanced Lightening Lotion and Facial Wash
“Exposure to the sun can lead to uneven skin tone and the appearance of brown spots. Use the facial wash to remove dirt and dead skin cells (caused by the sun) and then apply the lotion to even out skin pigment and reverse sun damage. Wash your face first as the cleanser increases the lotions effectiveness by temporarily lowering the pH of your skin.”
