Fruit-stained lips: now in season | This season’s effortlessly smudgy beauty trend is getting a serious summery update with a fruit-flavoured twist |
|
| | Mango By Terry’s Mango Tango brings to mind hot days spent lounging in the shade, feasting on carefully cut cubes of tropical fruit before licking the syrupy residue off sticky fingers. A kiss of colour that’s deeply hydrating, it can be dabbed on to create a natural look that needs little maintenance – à la Temperley London s/s 2019. With UV filters built in, it’s the ultimate summer day companion. £29, Cult Beauty

| | Strawberry Formulated to look like you’ve simply blotted a high pigment lipstick, Glossier Generation G lets lips’ natural colour peek through, so it will take a different shade on everyone that wears it. We’re wearing Zip like we’ve just feasted on a fresh bowl of strawberries – sweetly stained and just that little bit messy. £14, Glossier

| | Plum Plum: lovely to say (go on, say it out loud); absolute nightmare to eat. Sharp skin, tangy flesh and a huge stone in the middle – if you even get that far before it has dribbled down your arm. Still, that stray juice does lead to a pleasing tint – and if you want to create it minus the mess, Mac’s cool purple lustre lipstick is super lightweight, buildable, and glides on with ease. £17.50, Mac

| | Black cherry If you like wearing dark colours all year round but find it hard to keep those sharp lines precise in hot, humid weather, here’s a hydrating option that can pleasingly be applied without a mirror. Burt’s Bees’ satin lipstick in Orchid Ocean (there are loads of shades, FYI) is formulated with moringa and raspberry seed oils so it’s smooth and buildable rather than heavily pigmented. Plus: it’ll leave lips feeling pillowy soft. Now £9.78, was £9.99, Amazon

| | Rasberry Vegan, SPF 15, and formulated with jojoba, sesame and sunflower oils (plus antioxidant-rich Vitamin E), Ilia’s tinted lip conditioner is as good for you lips as it is for the planet. We love the raspberry-hued Bang Bang, which gives a lovely flush of fruity colour. Dab it on liberally with your finger for a sweet ‘just ate an entire punnet for breakfast’ look (like the Fenty x Savage s/s 2019 babes). £26, Glasshouse

| Disposables are fast becoming taboo – so this cleansing pad, which replaces 500 wipes, is a total hero to Stylist’s junior beauty writer Ava Welsing-Kitcher |
|
| | “I used to go through two or more cotton pads each night when removing my make-up, but as soon as I learned how water-draining they are to produce, I needed a new option. Reusable cotton pads were a pain to wash, and cleansing oils stung my eyes – so I was ready to retreat back to the dark side until I tried a FaceHalo.
These palm-sized, double-sided discs have been nothing short of life-changing; with just water alone, every trace of make-up is gently lifted off, plus it doubles up as a face cloth for cleansing afterwards. They come in black or white (white’s best for ensuring everything comes off), and can be quickly washed with soap after each use and tossed in the laundry after a few days.” £7.50 for one, Boots
