Triona McCarthy: Look your best this summer with my top five skin, make-up and hair care launches

Blurring the Lines Fans of Laura Mercier’s tinted moisturiser are going to love its new upgrade, which now has a natural blurred matte finish. It’s so great for disguising large pores, has longer durability AND a skincare-infused formula. Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Blurred Matte SPF 30 (€50, cultbeauty.com).

It glides on to my skin effortlessly, delivering a luminous matte finish that feels incredibly lightweight and comfy. I feel it is a very forgiving formula for my 50-something skin and ensures a flawless appearance without clinging to dry patches.

Best of all, it has an SPF30 and 20 shades to choose from.

Eyes on the Prize Charlotte Tilbury’s new Rock ‘N’ Kohl eyeliner pencils (€31, charlottetilbury.com/ie) is your secret weapon for effortlessly sultry, smokey eyes this summer.

With six mesmerising shades, these ultra-creamy, highly-pigmented pencils last up to 28 hours and feature a convenient tip so you can create iconic looks. Now you can face into the day with great eye make-up that won’t budge!

Getting Scalped I’m suddenly so interested in scalp care as I swear I’m getting a receding hairline! Even though receding hairlines are suddenly sexy — thanks to Walton Goggins in The White Lotus — eh, I’d prefer to do what I can to keep my hairline looking more lush. Hair by Sam McKnight Pure Genius Natural Scalp Restoring Oil (€42, sammcknight.com) is my latest purchase as it has 15 hair-enhancing natural oils crafted from botanicals and essential oils to moisturise and soothe the scalp, and strengthen the hair. According to McKnight, they help create the optimal environment for hair to grow stronger, longer and more resilient. Just what I need to stave off hair loss.

Mist World With summer holidays fast approaching, it’s a good idea to invest in a product that will protect your hair against the effects of exposure to the sun’s rays, high humidity levels, pollution and salt and chlorine. Hair Rituel By Sisley Protective Shield Mist (€82, brownthomas.com), which lands in store this week, is designed to protect your hair against all of these damaging factors while you’re lying by the pool sipping pina coladas.

The Neck! It’s easy to forget about your neck when it comes to skincare, but it’s just as important as your face, particularly if you want to avoid “tech neck”.

This issue occurs because we spend so much time looking down at screens but Neostrata Triple Firming Neck Cream (€79.95, neostrata.ie) is here to help. It reduces visible signs of ageing on the neck to give a firmer, more toned appearance. Don’t forget to put some on your decolletage!

Treat

Victoria Beckham Sculpt and Blend Brush, €68, brownthomas.com Victoria Beckham has launched a nine-piece collection of make-up brushes that includes five face brushes, three eye brushes and a lip brush, and I’m in love! My favourite is the Sculpt & Blend Brush that works seamlessly with both creams and powders.

Treatment

Botox, €400, drmulrooney.com The number one thing I’m asked on my Instagram is where I get my Botox done and it’s always the same answer, The Dr. Mulrooney Clinic. Dr Jane and Katherine Mulrooney have now welcomed Dr Edwina Buckley, who is an expert in medical aesthetic dermatology with a particular interest in skin rejuvenation with lasers, PRP, polynucleotides and profhilo. My tip is to stick with the same person as they get to know your face.

Trick

Holiday hack Packing all your beauty bits for holidays can be complicated, but multi-purpose products can be a lifesaver. Think two-in-one shampoo and conditioner products and moisturisers that work on both your face and body. Definitely decant your beauty products into small travel-sized bottles to save space, and embrace the holiday vibe by leaving the heated tools at home and spritzing sea salt spray into your hair to create beachy waves.
