There is NOTHING we adore more than makeup that works and looks bloody good. Oh, except for when it's super affordable to boot! One of our beauty brand faves, Barry M, have released a new range for summer - and it has seriously tropical vibes.

With two eyeshadow palettes, bronzer and spritz spray as well as an incredible brow wand and lip plumping gloss, there's something to suit everyone - whether you're a full-on glamour puss or prefer a more natural look.

We've tested out the range and can safely say we're VERY happy with the results - especially the two eyeshadow palettes. The Tropical Twist palette has 18 incredible baked shades with plenty of matte and metallic to make any look, and the Island Hopper's stunning orange shades will give your pals serious makeup envy. Plus, it's SO affordable that it's really in your best interests to invest!

Tropical Twist Eyeshadow Palette

The collection kicks off with another of Barry M's stunning 18-shade baked eyeshadow palettes. The Tropical Twist edition, which retails at just £12.99, has a dreamy collection of metallic and matte shades - plenty of blues, neutrals and reds for such a theme as tropical! The colours glide on easily with either a brush or your fingertip, blend really well and stay on - especially if you're using the brand's Lid Lock Eyeshadow Primer. Barry M say, "Up the ante by choosing two complementary, yet contrasting, shades from Barry M's Tropical Twist Baked Eyeshadow Palette to make the eyes pop. Layer on the lighter shade over your upper eyelids before applying the contrasting shade to your lower lids and for added oomph, extend past the outer corners of your eyes. Wet your eyeshadow brush before applying to intensify the pigment for a dazzling and long-lasting effect."

Island Hopper Eyeshadow Palette

The mini 10-shade palette has a gorgeous selection of matching matte and metallic shades, ranging from bronzes through to blues. The vibrant orange colours are particularly beaut, and look stunning on all skin shades!Barry M say, "For ultimate tropical vibes, apply the lilac shade on the inner third of your lids – extending from your lash line to just below your brow bone. Repeat this step using the rich orange hue in the centre paired with the coral hue on the outer third of your eyelid and blend where each shade meets for a sultry gradient of colour."

Warm up your face and mimic that vacation glow by dusting Barry M's Staycation Bronzer in a '3' shape hitting your forehead, cheeks and under the jaw for a just- caught-the-sun sparkle."
