7 Must-Have Make-Up Releases for S/S’15

Although the sunshine has disappeared for now, you can still get summer-ready with the latest beauty releases from your favourite brands. Here is what you can expect from the S/S’15 collections, and our favourite picks.

ArtDeco “Here Comes the Sun” Collection

The latest collection from ArtDeco Cosmetics uses shimmering, earthy tones with colour pop of orange and coral, designed to complement a sun-kissed look. From their SPF15 bronzing powders to their gorgeous metallic eyeshadows, the collection has everything you need to enhance a summer glow.

Must-have item: Bronzing Powder Compact

KIKO Milano “Modern Tribes” Collection

KIKO Milano have taken the colours of the earth to inspire their limited edition “Modern Tribes” collection. Alongside lightweight sun-protecting foundations and a brilliant BB cream, the bronzer, baked blush and highlighting pearls are all you need for a subtle contouring effect, adding depth and definition to your complexion.

Must-have product: Sahara Glow Highlighter

Bobbi Brown “Sandy Nudes” Collection

Bobbi Brown is getting beach-ready with their latest collection of sandy bronzes and nude lip colours. Our favourites include the face mist, which is ideal for setting and refreshing makeup on a hot day, as well as the fabulous shimmering eye palette, with 12 glistening shades to choose from – all in neutral tones.

Must-have product: Shimmering Sands Eye Palette

Urban Decay Summer Collection

Introduce a pop of colour and brighten up your look with Urban Decay this summer. From shimmering pinks to deep mauves, there is a huge variety when it comes to shades across their eyeshadow, lipgloss and longwear blush – a product which is extremely blendable when applied but one that isn’t going to budge throughout the day.

Must-have product: Afterglow 8-Hour Powder Blush

Guerlain Summer Collection

Guerlain have two key colours when it comes to their summer collection: a beautifully bronzing terracotta and a mesmerising ocean blue. Although we love the flattering shade of terracotta, the stand out colour for us is the unique, shimmering shade of aqua – available as a nail polish or as a waterproof cream eyeshadow. (Available in June)

Must-have product: Waterproof Cream Shadow in ‘Blue Ocean’

Models Own “Polish for Tans” Collection

These shades are not for the faint hearted, but are guaranteed to look stunning when paired with a summer glow. The shades are picked especially to complement a deeper complexion (whether au naturel or self-tanned) – to play it safe, “Beach Bag” will be a universally flattering shade, but if neon is your thing, try the bright yellow “Bikini”.

Must-have product: Polish for Tans in ‘Beach Bag’

IsaDora “Beach Club” Collection

IsaDora have taken a unique combination of colours for their latest collection, including ocean shades of blue and green, alongside deep purple and vibrant yellow. It may sound scary, but used together the colours really work in harmony, particularly if the eyeshadow is paired with their coloured waterproof liners and matching nail polishes.

Must-have product: Eye Colour Bar in ‘Surf and Sun’
