Chrome, blue and lavender eyeshadow and Nineties brows are taking over eyes while Superdrug’s own-brand cosmetics range Studio London has just released the much-talked about Lash Icon Volumising Mascara for £6.

Skin trends are about investing in amazing skincare that have gentle plant-based ingredients such as niacinamide, algae and squalene to create a beautiful glowy or pearl impact. Try The Ordinary, Bubble Day, Byoma, Minimalist, Me+ and Q&A. And, don’t forget the essential SPF.

Go for a natural flush courtesy of this season’s boyfriend blush (placed lower on the face for those with long or oblong faces) with Clinique Chubby Stick Cheek Colour Balm, Pixi on-the-glow Blush ph Reactive Cheektone and Revolution Balm Glow.

For nails, it’s all about soft pastels of pink, blue, peach and cream (feeding into balletcore beauty) and siren reds (unexpected red is not just nails but lips and eyes too). Fragrances are also romantic with leading notes of vanilla, pistachio and flowers; Sol De Janeiro, Huda Beauty’s Kayali and Eilish Eau de Parfum by Billie Eilish are made for summer.

Finally, hair is still embracing the mermaidcore wet look with bows, plaits and curls adding to the girlish vibes. Miley Cyrus’ big hair is a major influence or go for ‘le petit bob’ to accentuate your cheekbones.

See Boots, Superdrug, H&M, Asda Living, Holland & Barrett, Lush, Marks & Spencer, Next, The Fragrance Shop, The Perfume Shop and TK Maxx.
