In your prime

in the summer months cake-like layers of foundation looks and feels wrong. But if you don't feel confident enough to go barefaced and you're in need of a little more assistance than you get from a tinted moisturiser, it's worth picking up a good primer. We're fans of Jemma Kidd's Skin Rescue Bio-Complex Veil SPF15 because of its multi-tasking qualities (a moisturiser, prep, primer, illuminator and tint with an anti-ageing complex) and because it makes skin super soft and, dare we say, luminous? Available from SpaceNK, Harvey Nichols, Dundrum Town Centre; €47.30.

Spray & Go

with their eye ever on the ball, the Asos.com people have a pretty rocking section of their site
devoted to festival attire and accessories, including the indispensible Baptise dry hair shampoo. Previously, we've only been able to find it in random chemists so it's great to have found a stockist. Of course it's not just brilliant for festivals but also for doing the get-ready in a hurry. Spray it in your hair, brush out and the result is fresh-smelling, clean-looking hair with nice volume; €2.70

Safe Sun

some 23% of irish people don't use sun screen, and while not to get all preachy about it, we really should considering skin cancer is the number one cancer killer here. Check out the Hamilton's range of sun screens from Australia, a country which takes its sun protection seriously. Prices start from €11.98 for the Every Day Face SPF 30+, available in pharmacies.
