#  A Make-Up Artist Shares Her Top 10 Summer Must-Haves  


Melbourne-based make-up artist Carla Dyson has an aesthetic that can be summarised as flawless skin, bronzy tones and plenty of glow. To find out how she creates her looks – both for herself and on clients – we asked her to share her go-to summer products.

## Mineral Whip, £52 | Synergie Skin 



 

This is my daily go-to. It’s a mineral cream foundation with the most incredible buildable coverage and it has SPF40, so it’s a great additional layer in the summer. It’s also full of skin-loving ingredients to hydrate and nourish.

## Sheen Screen Hydrating Lip Balm SPF 50, £16 | Ultra Violette 



 

I always have a lip balm within arm’s reach and this is one of my all-time favourites. It has a subtle hint of colour and it’s super hydrating. Plus, the SPF is high to protect against burning lips.

## Bang Primer, $65 | Holme Beauty 



 

This adds the most incredible lit-from-within glow to the skin. You can wear it alone for all-over radiance or apply foundation over the top for added coverage. This can also be applied only to the high points of the face to intensify the look. It’s such a versatile product and it’s available in a range of shades for every skin tone.

## Hydrating Glow Mist Top Up, £30 | Naked Sundays 



 

As you can probably tell by now, I love sunscreen. I always protect my face (even in the winter) – something that has been instilled in me after living in Australia for a decade. This spray is designed to top up your SPF throughout the day without altering your make-up. It keeps the skin hydrated and I love the watermelon scent.

## The Volume Mascara, £32.40 | Kevyn Aucoin 



 

Nobody wants panda eyes to ruin a summer make-up look. Tubing mascaras are the way to avoid this. They wrap the lashes in a latex-based polymer, making them ideal for hot weather. They also have incredible staying power and never smudge, plus they’re surprisingly easy to remove with water.

## Eyes To Mesmerize Eyeshadow, £26 | Charlotte Tilbury 



 

For me, no summer look is complete without a metallic eye. Using a fluffy brush or even your ring finger, swipe this cream shadow across the centre of your lid to add dimension to your eye make-up.

## Hyaluronic Pressed Hydra-Powder, £42 | By Terry 



 

I love luminous skin, so this hydrating powder is the perfect product to control shine without eliminating glow altogether. It’s full of hyaluronic acid – an ingredient which holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water. I use this on most of my make-up looks to retain plump, moisturised skin, while ensuring things stay in place.

## Powder Blush Duo, £32 | Patrick Ta 



 

Blush is such an important step in any make-up routine, but especially during the summer months. This Patrick Ta blush duo is perfect for adding a vibrant glow to the skin, then setting with the powder for longevity.

## Cellularose CC Serum, £61 | By Terry 



 

This dreamy product can be mixed with foundation to alter the colour or be used beforehand as a primer – either way it delivers a bronzed radiance that’s hard to match. I like to use it before I apply foundation, to add dimension to the face (almost like a radiant liquid contour). I apply foundation to just to the areas where I need a little extra coverage to leave the skin looking natural and flawless.

## Shimmering Dry Oil Huile Prodigieuse, £20 | Nuxe 



 

To achieve the bronzed goddess glow this summer, don’t neglect your body. This luxurious shimmering oil nourishes, repairs and softens the skin – plus, because it’s a dry oil, it won’t leave you feeling sticky.
