Tom Ford Soleil Lip Foil in Private Life $86
A coppery nude lip colour will enhance the effect of your summer tan. This is one of six shimmering shades with a mirror foil finish thanks to the three-dimensional effect of ultra-fine mica. We love the names, which include Venus Rising, for a reflective pretty pink. From Smith & Caughey's, Queen St and David Jones, Wellington.
My Sunshine sunscreen $50
Make the rest of summer safer and keep your complexion clear with this locally made, mineral SPF30, laced with nourishing antioxidants. Takapuna mother-of-three Sarah Studd wanted a more natural sunscreen, so she worked with an Auckland laboratory to develop a pleasing texture that also meets strict Australasian screening standards.
