Nothing like a morning-to-midnight makeup item that whisks you from day to starry night without so much as having to do a quick fix for your hair (cue messy bun/ponytail if you’re running late), is there"
This 6 should take you from poolside to port-side taverna in record time – add a splash of Jo Malone’s JO LOVES “POMELO” (a mention here as it’s a personal favourite, or maybe a deep Diptyque-y fig, or perhaps for lighter daily wear, Roger & Gallet’s affordable fig")
FACE
OMOROVICZA GLAM GLOW – the most natural, not over the top, flattering self-tanner I know with (I keep going on about this but it’s true!) a sort of inbuilt glow which I love.
LAURA MERCIER ILLUMINATING TINTED MOISTURISER A staple – I don’t think I know anyone who hasn’t tried this one. Decent coverage and a lit-from-within luminescence.
NEW CID COSMETICS
British makeup brand New Cid’s i-Gloss Light-Up lip gloss has a mirror down the side and it lights up when you pull out the wand – brilliant in dark night clubs or applying a quick slick of gloss in low lit Greek tavernas as well as finding your earring under a dark table, etc. etc.
I told a friend about these lip glosses last summer, she tried one and said “I think this is better than the Dior ones I have”. (And immensely flattering if you’re the other side of 45). I wear mine over lipstick.

The whole NEW CID makeup range is pretty wonde...
