1—Lancôme Hypnôse Drama Instant Full Body Volume Mascara, $33. “You could fall into a pool and this mascara wouldn’t run. I like it for weddings because everyone cries at least once.”
2—Becca x Jaclyn Hill Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in Champagne Pop, $46. “This blends so beautifully into skin. I put it on cheekbones, the very tip of the nose, on brow bones, the Cupid’s bow and the corners of the eyes.”
3—Bumble and Bumble Spray de Mode, $33. “If you’re curling hair and the curls start to stick together, you can re-brush and this spray will still hold the style, without getting flaky.”
4—Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade, $23. “It adds that extra definition for photos, and even on oilier skin,
it holds on because it’s waterproof.”
5—Nars Lipstick in Dolce Vita, $35. “It’s the most beautiful, universal lip colour—very natural but gives a bit of oomph. You can tell there is a little luxury to it.”
6—Laura Mercier Foundation Primer, $42. “SPF doesn’t always blend well with makeup, but that’s what this is made for. It’s great to have sun protection in a product that helps keep makeup on a bit longer, even in humidity.”
7—Essie Nail Lacquer in Find Me an Oasis, $10. “I really like pastel tones in summertime, on toes especially. It brings out a tan and gives off a cute vibe.”
8—Benefit Bathina Body Balm, $39. “It makes skin look healthy and catches the sun just right, without being too shimmery—and it smells really good.”
9—Bite Smashed Agave Lip Mask, $30. “It’s great under lipstick, so put it on before you do colour. It hydrates all day without the need to reapply.”
