This bronze and pink zebra-esque bronzing blush does just that. It adds a hint of tan to your complexion and a pop of pretty pink. Just right for layering over a tan or to add a flush of colour to English rose complexions.

These new fragrances each illustrate the scent of a time and a place in Italy. Team ELLE loves Venice which has been captured on September 22 2007 at 8am and smells quite dense and masculine. Well, who says summer fragrances have to smell like a Pina Colada? Each scent is accompanied by a Polaroid of the place so you can see and smell it.
Venice EDP, £78 for 100ml by Made in Italy exclusive to Harvey Nichols

This pretty lip and cheek tint is super-sheer but easy to build-up for a flattering peach shade. It’s water resistant making it an ideal choice for getting that effortless ‘no make-up’ look by the pool.

This hot orange shade may look daring in the bullet, but in real life it’s a flattering sheer hue which is easy to apply and equally as easy to wear. Ideal for lipgloss lovers, who want to make a gradual transition to lipsticks.

This gives great coverage and paints each lash from root to tip in one coat. It doesn’t smudge, stays put all day and crucially, is easy to take off with regular eye make-up remover.
