This summer we are all in need of a well deserved holiday. If like us, you're craving a vacay and you're wondering what make-up you need, we've got you covered.

We can always rely on our fave Love Island gals to recommend essential products we need in the summer months. Girls who have graced the villa know exactly what to pack for a vacay, especially to look camera ready.

Love Island's Zara McDermott has recently been making us envious with her dreamy Mykonos holiday pics alongside Made In Chelsea boyfriend, Sam Thompson. She recently took to her Instagram story to reveal what make-up she's been loving on her holiday including her go-to mascara, and it's giving us all the inspo.

One product that Zara swears by is the Hourglass Unlocked Mascara to give an instant eyelash extension look. She went on to say that "It's the only mascara I will ever use, it's the best."

If it's good enough for Zara, It's good enough for us.

The BBC Three presenter also dished the details as to what else she's been loving to create her holiday glam. She begins her make-up look by hydrating the skin and applying her sun protection - an essential step especially when abroad. She uses the Weleda Almond Soothing Facial Oil and the Medik8 Advanced Day Total Protect SPF30.

She then bronzes up her glowing skin with the Kylie Cosmetics Pressed Bronzing Powder in 'Tanned And Gorgeous', creates a wing using the Benefit Roller Liner in 'Brown' and finally a classic, glossy nude lip with the Kylie Cosmetics Lip Liner from the Lip Kit in 'Posie K' topped off with the Morphe Glassified Lip Oil in 'Extra Glaze'

A great mascara if you want instant drama. This mascara has a 'tubing effect' where the tube-like fibres wrap around each lash to instantly add volume and drama creating the ultimate, falsies look. Another thing to note when using a tubing mascara is how to remove it: all you need is warm water and the mascara gently comes away without having to scrub the lashes using a cleanser. Review: "Super lengthening! This is the perfect mascara for lengthening - my lashes look like falsies with this on. I like that itu2019s a tubing mascara as I havenu2019t experienced any smudging or transfer."

Perfect for those with sensitive skin who are craving that holiday glow. A calming oil, ideal to soothe after you've had a relaxing day in the sun. We all love Weleda skincare and customers agree, one wrote: "I tend to get allergic reactions to a lot of creams and cosmetics, but this oil is perfect. I never got any irritation from it (I'm on my 3rd bottle, and a bottle lasts forever), my skin looks great and it doesn't have any overpowering smell. I was a bit worried that the oil would make my skin look, well, oily, but it absorbs easily leaving the skin just looking moisturised."

If there's one product you need to pack on your vacay, it's sun protection. You can rely on Medik8 to make trustworthy skincare ideal to suit any skin concern.

A brown liquid liner is a perfect addition to any glowing make-up look. Use brown eyeliner to make a holiday glam look a little softer.
