The London-based blogger, stylist and social media sensation shares the beauty tricks that keep her looking so damn good
Words Danielle Vanier
Use protection, kids
Wearing SPF throughout the year is important, but come summer it’s an absolute must. Tired of slathering on SPF face creams that are slicker than an oil spill and bring you out in spots? You need to try Anthelios XL Ultra Light Fluid SPF 50+ a light, non greasy sunscreen that can be worn under makeup and ensures super high protection from UVA/UVB rays.
On-the-go cleansing
Off to a festival and worried about the disruption to your skincare routine? Stock up on Bioderma Sensibio H2O Wipes and forget about the fact you won’t be near a basin and flannel for a good few days. These wipes are perfect for sensitive skin, they are fragrance-free (which I love) and are perfect for touching up any festival makeup mishaps.
Lip service – without the balm
Lip balm obsessed but bored of the usual offerings? Try a fragranced lip oil such as the Instant Light Lip Comfort Oils by Clarins and mix up the way you look after those lips of yours. Infused with lots of plant oils and available in seven different shades, there’s something for everyone. Did I mention they all smell incredible?
Moisture bomb
Dehydrated skin after your summer holidays? If the combination of too much sun, sea and all-inclusive cocktails has left your skin dry, tight and flakey, reach for something super-hydrating like my favourite Moisture Surge Hydrating Supercharged Concentrate. This Clinique moisturiser is the bomb – it’s perfect for all skin types and will instantly boost dry, lacklustre skin.
Prep, prime and fixer-upper
MACs Prep + Prime Fix is the ultimate multi-use product that everyone should own. Use alone to refresh and hydrate your skin, spritz it on to set your makeup in place, wet your beauty sponges with it to help blend your makeup… the list is endless! If you haven’t tried this beauty cult classic, give it a go. You won’t be disappointed.
