Supermodel Romee Strijd shows you this season's five best summer beauty looks

The season’s most-wanted beauty looks take their cue from easy-breezy summer skin and irreverent colour use.

BASE NOTES

‘Make-up looks most flawless on well-exfoliated, evenly moisturised skin,’ says James Kaliardos. We love Clinique Moisture Surge Hydrator (£36; clinique.co.uk) and Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant (£26; paulaschoice.co.uk).

BRONZE AMBITION

‘Use your make-up to feel powerful and complete with colour or without,’ explains Kaliardos. ‘Subtle looks have strength as well. Dust bronzer lightly up the cheekbone and on to the temple to add structure and vitality fast, as well as hide signs of stress.’ Try Clarins Bronzing Compact (£32; at debenhams.com) and complete with a swoosh of Givenchy Lip Balm in perfect pink (£28; at harrods.com).

LOUD MOUTH

‘A flash of colour always adds to every occasion,’ advises Kaliardos. Forget hard edges and laborious application processes. Instead pat your pigment of choice on to the centre of the lips with a fingertip, blending it outwards to achieve the soft-focus, kissed-off finish seen on the summer runways. Givenchy Rouge Interdit Lipstick in 13 (£38; at harrods.com) is our go-to rouge.

ARCH RIVALS

‘Subtly filling in and squaring-off the front section of the brow adds instant oomph,’ says Kaliardos. ‘Chic, healthy and pulled-together is the aim right now.’ Up your game with Givenchy Mister Brow Filler mascara and Brow Studio Eyebrow Couture Definer pencil (£19 each; at harrods.com).

COLOUR RUSH

‘I like approaching a woman’s face without rules and regulations. Do experiment. When trying a look like this tackle the colours one by one, building it up slowly and balancing out poppier pigments by keeping the rest of the face neutral. It works every time.’ Follow our lead with Dior DiorShow On Stage Liner in matte yellow (£26; dior.com), Urban Decay 24 /7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in woodstock (£15; urbandecay.co.uk) and NYX Hot Singles Eye Shadow in LOL (£3.50; nyxcosmetics.co.uk)

TOP TIPS:

1. Don’t overlook natural mascaras in summer to achieve a modern, subtle polish. Glossier’s Lash Slick offers ‘born with it’ length and volume.

2. Have cream-textured versions of your bronzers, blushers and shadows to hand in summer. They look more like real skin and are easier to apply.

3. Hesitant to try a statement lip? Dip a toe into the trend with a glossy scarlet nail.
