Don't let 'imperfections' keep you off the beach or away from the pool! If you feel more confident with a coating of concealer, this one can handle the heat, or, well, the water.

Whether generous or subtle, an application of mascara is the quickest way to look 'done', and this formula will make sure the pigment stays on your lashes where it belongs instead of dripping down your face.

Staying power can be tricky to find in the lip and cheek colour department, especially when you've got water to contend with. Luckily, this liquid can be applied to lips and cheeks to provide a burst of colour, and stays on even after getting your face wet. Its universal berry pink shade works a treat across the board, too.
