The days are getting longer and diaries seem to be filling up again with real events, so to ‘wow’ when you’re alfresco, our resident beauty guru Lucia Ferrari offers a few shortcuts to Summer glamour.…

Oskia Nutri Bronze Adaptive Sheer Tinted Serum

I’ve had many compliments about my ‘glowing’ skin with this. It’s part skincare, part makeup and my new go-to tinted moisturiser for day. I also wear it in the evening instead of foundation. £62

---

Malin + Goetz SPF 30 Sunscreen

I always love trying out the new SPF’s. This one deserves a big thumbs up as it’s extremely lightweight so really good used under makeup. I love its silky texture and it’s totally unperfumed so doesn’t make eyes watery. £32

---

Meder Hydra-Fill Mask

Great for a weekend-away bag, these are a real instant beauty fix for tired, stressed and dry skin. The mask brightens the skin and plumps out lines making it look peachy and velvety. £15

---

YSL Nu Blotting Lotion

This again falls into the ‘not quite makeup but more than skincare’ category. It’s a clever little handbag essential which can be whipped out to mattify a shiny nose or forehead. £27

---

Chanel Les Beiges Oversize Healthy Glow Sun-Kissed Powder

Where to begin with the gloriousness of this?! It’s a really BIG bronzer compact available in three colours. I fear this may be a Chanel item that sells out, so get in there quick! £66

---

Dolce and Gabbana Solar Glow Universal Radiance Drops

I love using makeup to add a sun kissed glow. These drops can be mixed in with your SPF, moisturiser or foundation for a natural glow. £38

---

Jo Loves Grapefruit A Fragrant Hair Mist

I love this new trend for hair mists and this one is a favourite. It smells like an elegant grown-up, grapefruity citrus with a dash of gin and tonic! It’s utterly delicious and refreshing on hot days. £45

---

Guerlain KissKiss Bee Glow Honey Tint Balm

Literally melts into the lips for soothed, nourished, pretty and plumped lips. I love the Honey and the Rose Glow which both look good with a light tan. £32

---

Nails Inc Check Please Cherry Scented 4 Piece Nail Polish Set

A great set which covers this summer’s trend for blue nails but also has a stunning corally red, white and pink. If you’ve got teenage daughters, there’s something for everyone. £22

---

Bulgari Rose Goldea Blossom Delight Eau de Toilette

This is Bulgari’s new summer light spritz. If you like florals, you’ll find this utterly addictive. There’s a hint of lily of the valley and grapefruit which dries down to a soft, powdery white musk. £79
