Fluttery lashes and juicy lips: Your ultimate summer beauty edit

We’ve all heard the age-old beauty myth - choose your eyes or your lips, but not both. This summer, we’re throwing that out the window and embracing fluttery lashes, juicy lips, and that radiant, just-back-from-holidays glow. Whether you’re heading away or staying local, these beauty heroes will keep you glowing all summer long.

Lash goals

First stop is your lashes. Fake It Till You Make It by Lisa & Co (€22), from Irish blogger Lisa McGowan (Lisa’s Lust List), is a mascara that seriously delivers. It lifts, separates, and adds volume for a wide-eyed look without clumps or flaking. Whether you’re brunching, beaching, or bar-hopping, this is your new go-to lash booster.

Butter soft lips

Butter Balm Lipsticks by Luna by Lisa (€15) created by Just Jordan offer the hydration of a balm with the colour payoff of a lipstick. These buttery beauties are perfect for every lip type, they don’t bleed, and they’re not sticky. Want shine? Pop a clear gloss on top. Prefer matte? Dab with powder. And if lips aren’t your thing, Jordan’s Airbrush Flawless Face (€22) is a must-have. It gives skin that soft-focus, airbrushed effect that looks amazing in summer light.

Golden hour glam

Start with a sweep of colour. The Sundown Eye Edit by KIKO Milano includes The Long Lasting Eyeshadow Stick – Limited Edition (RRP €12.99) which delivers intense pigment in a single stroke, cutting down your prep time so you can spend more of your golden hour in the sun. The cooling formula glides on effortlessly and sets to a transfer-proof finish that lasts up to 24 hours. Choose from five luminous, full-coverage shades—Tropical Tango, Gold Honey, Rose Refresh, Copper Cheers or Wine-not? Each designed to enhance your natural glow and complement the setting sun.

Define and refine. For a timeless cat-eye that will carry you through sunset and into the night, reach for the Fiber Eye Marker (RRP €12.99). With its ultra-slim fibre brush tip, this waterproof liner allows for precision flicks and smudge-free definition that won’t budge—no matter how long the evening lasts.
