Barry M summer 2019 stacked
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."
Staycation Bronzer Palette
Even if you're not a huge fan of bronzers, you'll love the Staycation palette with its golden shimmering highlighter paired with the matte brown contour. Barry M say, "The buildable formula is set to take you from beach days to the golden hour in just a few quick sweeps. 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."

If you're a fan of lip plumping lip glosses, you do NOT need to look any further than Barry M. At just £4.99 a pop (ha), the lip gloss glides on and gets to work on pumping up your pout ASAP. Barry M says, "Infused with natural oils to rehydrate, mixed with a kick of invigorating ginger, the natural ingredients will get to work to enhance and create fuller looking lips with a slick of added glossy shine. Layer Barry M's That's Swell XXL Plumping Lip Gloss over your fave lip paint to soften lip lines for a fresh pout with added voltage."

One end has an angled brow pencil to fill in gaps, and the other has a mini spoolie with tinted brow gel to keep your brows in check.Barry M says, "Your new go-to for filling in, thickening up and holding eyebrows in place. The angled brush allows you to draw on single hairs for a feathery finish or to shade in sparser patches for a fuller look.
