Channel this season\'s trend for brights by matching your fluoro bikini with a shot of hot pink on nails.

no7 eye palette
This handy palette of lush greens, shimmering metallics and a pop of violet is all you need for sexy holiday eyes. "Apply one layer lightly with a brush for a sheer sheen, or layer up for dense gilt." says Lisa - or create a bright version of a smoky eye by layering the violet and silver and finishing with blacker than black mascara.

With this one-day tinted gel bronzer for face, you can work a bronze goddess look one day (pair with a animal-print bikini), and revert to porcelain princess the next (with a fifties style one-piece, perhaps). Start with a little and build up until you achieve the colour you\'re after: "Its light texture and oil-free formulation will leave your skin glowing beautifully," says Lisa.

sun protection spray
It\'s really important to stay safe in the sun, so opt for no less than a factor 15 and make sure you reapply regularly. We love the added benefits of No7\'s sun care - the patented antioxidant mix will help to protect against premature ageing and this has an easy to apply spray bottle - just spritz on 15 minutes before sun exposure.

Go for glow

no7 bronzer
For an instant hit of radiance and perhaps some pre-tan colour, use bronzer to go for a sun-kissed look. "Apply the bronzer where the sun would normally fall on your face - your forehead, cheeks, chin and the tip of your nose," advises Lisa - if you\'re baring the flesh poolside, dust on to shins and the decolletage too.

Fake it

gradual body tan no7
Before you expose yourself to the sun, get a tan the safe way - by faking it. Not only is a bronzed glow super-slimming, it\'ll give you bags of confidence by the hotel pool. This formulation builds up to a healthy glow, but don\'t forget you\'ll still need to load your skin with SPF before you hit the sun loungers.

no7 lipstick
If you\'re more into lounging than diving, you might want to up the ante make-up wise. Coral lipstick couldn\'t look better than with a deep tan and white bikini, and the intensity of this one is incredible. "Use a brush to apply thin layers, to make the colour last even longer," says Lisa.
