Dressing table: Splash-proof make-up

1. Ombre Fusion cream eyeshadow

A flattering, shimmering shade that was created especially for summer. Blend after applying for a luminous effect that will stay put.

£20.50, Guerlain, houseoffraser.com

2. Phenomen'eyes waterproof mascara

The unique ball design of this applicator may seem scary at first, but dramatically longer lashes await the brave.

£20, Givenchy, 01332 233824

3. Fix' Make-Up spray

A generous spritz of this freshly scented formula will prevent non-waterproof make-up from sliding off your face as you soak up the rays by the pool.

£18.89, Clarins, clarins.com

4. Long-wear gel eyeliner

This gel formula glides on with a thin eyeliner brush, giving you time to correct any flaws before it dries as a creaseless, waterproof line that won't smudge.

£15.50, Bobbi Brown, 0870 0342 566

5. Stylo waterproof eyeliner

For those who prefer a pencil eyeliner, this provides soft definition in a range of summery shades.

£17, Chanel, 020-7493 3836

6. Long Last lipstick

Formulated to stay true without flaking or drying, the soft-matte texture will bring a subtle touch of colour to your lips and last all day.
