Master your summer glam with YSL

This summer is about stepping out of your comfort zone and using makeup as a tool for self-expression. Elevate your everyday makeup look with washes of colour, a pop of shimmer and layering blush for a customised rosy glow.
Leading the way in effortless glam is the French powerhouse Yves Saint Laurent so we spoke to their Global Makeup Artist, Sam Visser at their Love Game Pop-Up in Miami, USA, for his top tips to master your makeup this summer.

What’s the best way to transform your daily makeup routine for summer?
“You can incorporate bold summer colours into your makeup looks by experimenting with more sparkly, shimmery formulas or coloured eyeliner and mascara. It’s all about expressing yourself through makeup so whatever you feel like doing, just do it.”
Create a long-lasting radiant summer look
Yves Saint Laurent All Hours Concealer
“This is my go-to either on foundation or by itself for a more natural finish. It creates a beautiful base that lasts for a long time.”
Yves Saint Laurent Make Me Blush Bold Blurring Blush
“Add a pop of colour to your complexion with the Make Me Blush Powder Blush, available in 10 shades and different finishes for a customised look. This super versatile blush is sweat-proof and water-resistant, perfect for a long-lasting summer look.”
Yves Saint Laurent Liquid Blush
“If you prefer a more dewy, pigmented blush then I’d go for our Liquid Blush. You only need a couple dots of this across the face, cheekbones and nose for a sun-kissed summery look.”
Lash Clash Waterproof Mascara
“A waterproof mascara is a staple for any summer look in a humid climate – no one wants panda eyes. Our Lash Clash Waterproof Mascara offers up to 48 hours of long-wearing benefits, including thickening and elongating your lashes.”
Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte Candy Glaze Lip Gloss
“Candy Glaze is an essential in my kit - it moisturises the lips while leaving them super glossy and shiny. It comes in a wide variety of colours for every occasion and skin tone.”
Yves Saint Laurent Loveshine Plumping Lip Oil Gloss
“Our newest addition to our lip collection, the Loveshine Lip Oil Gloss has a glass-like finish and it’s super hydrating and plumping. It’s perfect to keep your lips moisturised during summer and I think it has quite a sensual look.”
