Hydro Grip Hydrating Makeup Primer, Milk Makeup

1-milk

Believe it or not, the secret to long-lasting makeup, especially during the warmer months is hydration. Love Island USA season 4 winner, Zeta Morrison recommends this dewy and silicone-free  makeup primer to prep your skin and makeup before a long day out in the sun. The 12-hour primer grips and hydrates the skin to prevent meltdown and caking. “For makeup the most important thing for me is primer,” says Morrison. “Tending to your natural self as much as possible is the ultimate beauty trick because when your skin and hair are healthy everything else you do is magnificent.”

FALSCARA Special Edition Starter Kit, Kiss

2-kiss

One person who knows a thing or two about splash-proof beauty is Ria Biggerstaff, the lash technician who created the dreamiest Disney princess peepers on Halle Bailey for The Little Mermaid. “Lash extensions can do wonders for completely transforming your eyes and giving a fresh, awake, and youthful look,” says Biggerstaff. The lash tech, who also doubles as a makeup artist says, finding the perfect lash look for your eye shape includes a bit of trial and error and ultimately boils down to how dramatic or natural you want your lashes to look. “Typically to open your eyes you want to keep [the] length more on the centre [and] to elongate/give that winged liner look, add length to the outer corners.”

On 'Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray, ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr

A good setting spray can go a long way and celebrity makeup artist and global beauty educator, Julia Dantas agrees. She says her go-to sweat-proof beauty product is Patrick Starrr’s On’ Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray. “A high-quality setting spray plays a vital role in ensuring your makeup stays intact throughout the entire day.” When it comes to makeup application, Dantas says less is more during the summer so use your usual products but in small amounts to help keep your makeup in place. “If you want to feel light and not weighted down by your makeup, allow your skin to breathe.” She adds, “spot treat imperfections [and] allow the natural oils of your dew [to] work in your favour.”
