![]() I lined my lips no problem with unpracticed hands thanks to the well-sharpened point, with the firm tip of the liquid lippie going on equally easily. To the kit's credit, though, each element came out creamy and mirrored the other's pale nudey brown shade perfectly. I unscrewed the former, expecting a delightful tropical scent to match the lid - but no, the scent was very much classic old lady lipstick smell, half faintly soapy, half fainty floral. (Love Island, do you need any more candidates?) Inside was a tube of liquid lipstick with a colourful lid sporting graphic springs of rainbow palm fronds, plus a less luxe-looking lip pencil that first looked to be plastic but was actually wooden. (Bae-cation, the less deep, more red brick-toned of the Mega Bronzers, still seemed an alarmingly dark addition to my very pale face.)īack home, it was down to business, first prepping my face with a tinted moisturiser and concealer (both ILIA Beauty ), then delving hungrily into the turquoise seawater blue cardboard packaging of the matte lip kit and pushing down the sudden desire to book a Mediterranean holiday. I was disappointed to see only two colour-ways each for the £5 bronzing and highlighting powders - would these really do it for all skin tones? - but found myself placated, like a Magpie, by the shimmering champagne pool that was So Lit Mega Highlighter. The £6 Lip Oil Girl Code, the pinker and (supposedly) oilier of two glossy lip options, meanwhile, promised to add sheen the Buzzin Faux Mink False Lashes (£6.99) to make my lashes as fluttery and flirty as Ekin-Su's. ![]() I took advantage of the current 3 for 2 deal at Boots to pick up six items, delighted that the warm brown neutrals of Go for a Chat Dynamic Palette (£6.99) and peachy nude shade of Coupled Up Matte Lip Kit in Islander (£6) looked a close match for Ekin-Su's usual makeup choices. Makeup-wise, there's a few bits missing (no foundations, concealers, mascaras or eyebrow pencils, though you can find all of those among Revolution 's wider offerings), with the focus on more fun, add-on items like lipstick kits, powdered bronzers and highlighters, false eyelashes and lip gloss or oil. I tried recreating Love Islander Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu's go-to neutral glam makeup look using the new Love Island X Revolution makeup collection (Image: ITV)Īvailable to buy from Revolution Beauty, Boots and ASOS, this new edit contains a mix of Love Island-inspired face and bodycare bits, from colourful eyeshadow palettes (£6.99) to whipped tanning mousse (£9.99).

Simple yet glamorous, her go-to nude lip, glowy, bronzed complexion and ever-so-slight neutral smokey eye is the perfect 'no makeup makeup' look. However, while ‘Who should Ekin-Su couple up with?’ and ‘What will she do next?’ might be the questions on many watchers’ lips, I’ve had a different one on my mind: ‘How can I recreate her makeup?’ Back for its eighth season, the hit reality TV show - and recent co-creator of the new Revolution X Love Island beauty line - is once again following sexy singletons as they search for love in the Mallorca villa.Īnd we've seen plenty of drama so far from contestants, who include footballer Michael Owen’s 19-year-old daughter Gemma Owen - but arguably none more so than bombshell Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu. Summer is the season for drama and if you don’t have enough of your own, well, get it from ITV’s Love Island.
