Love Island is back on our screens, signalling the start of a two-month commitment to watching the drama unfold as hopeful singletons battle for the chance of winning a £50,000 cash prize, or as they like to call it: finding love.
As a fresh selection of Islanders, including Michael Owen’s 19-year-old daughter Gemma, entered the villa, Chloe Burrows, a contestant from 2021, revealed that they are banned from bringing fake tan in with them over the risk of it staining the sheets.
While this did come as quite the shock to us, we’d hazard a guess that in the place of fake tan, the beauty bounty in the villa is enviable. And if there’s anything that’ll prove that it’s the new Love Island x Makeup Revolution collaboration.
The exclusive collaboration, which launched on 27 May, consists of a full range of limited-edition beauty products, including everything from fake tan to highlighters.
All of the items are said to be inspired by summers spent in the Love Island villa, past and present, and will help you to recreate the make-up looks that the Islanders serve up during your very own summer of love. These are the products going straight in our basket.
