I'm Heading To Europe – This New Collection From NARS Is All I'm Packing
Few beauty brands boast as impressive a list of iconic products as Nars- from its Sheer Glow foundation and Laguna bronzing powder to the Orgasm blush, the brand's bestsellers have long been beauty editor favourites. But having once worked as a beauty advisor for Nars, I can let you in on a little secret: it was always the brand's limited-edition drops that we couldn't stop swatching (and secretly saving for ourselves). So it was only natural that I immediately got my hands on the brand's new Hot Escape collection the minute it dropped. As the name suggests, the collection is packed with essentials that scream 'holiday glow'. Whether you're after a cheek palette to boost your rosy glow, glossy lip oils, or a shimmering eyeshadow stick, this collection has everything your make-up bag needs to see you through every summer event, whether it's an alfresco brunch or rooftop drinks at sunset. Onto the actual products, let's start with the cheek palette- a summer-ready quad featuring two limited-edition blushes, a luminous highlighter and, of course, Nars' iconic Laguna Bronzer. I tried the Medium shade edit, and it's already secured top spot as my go-to glow-giver this season. Then there's the eyeshadow sticks. A longtime personal favourite, this was the exact product I'd show customers during my time at the beauty counter when someone was looking for an easy, fool-proof eyeshadow that promises to stay in place. This blendable formula can be scribbled on all over the lid and blended easily for an impactful, yet flattering look. I got my hands on the iconic shades Orgasm and Laguna, both bronzy pinks that are perfect for the summer. Plus, you can coordinate your cheek and eyeshadow shades for a cohesive look. However, the best product in the Hot Escape Collection is unarguably the lip oil. Personal bias to tinted lip oils aside, Nars' super hydrating formula feels weightless on the lips but looks glossy and radiant. The shade High Life, in particular, is guaranteed to be one of your most-used products this summer. In a nutshell, this collection is a perfectly curated edit of products designed to take the guesswork out of your summer glam. Whether you're heading to a sun-drenched getaway or just trying to survive the city heat, you'll find everything you need here. Each product delivers the shades, textures and finishes to create glowing, golden-hour skin, effortless bronzed eyes, and that dewy, just-back-from-the-beach finish. In other words, it's every single summer essential you might need, sorted. 1. NARS Hot Escape Cheek Palette Medium Price: £48 'A summer-ready quad featuring two limited-edition blushes, a luminous highlighter and, of course, Nars' iconic Laguna Bronzer.

Coconut farmers association's plea to government
The East Coast Coconut Farmers Association has urged the State government to set up the proposed Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), an integral part of the Union Government-funded National Agricultural Research System (NARS) scheme, at Pattukottai instead of Eachankottai in Orathanadu taluk. In a memorandum to Tamil Nadu Minister for Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, the association pointed out that the setting up of KVK at Pattukottai, instead of at the Agricultural College at Echankottai, had certain advantages in terms of infrastructure development and logistics. The KVK could be set up without delay on major capital outlay at the Regional Extension Training Centre (RETC), Pattukottai, where land and buildings were available. Also, East Coast Road was an excellent logistics corridor for export of value-added coconut and other agricultural products to reach the sea and air-borne shipment infrastructure facilities at Tuticorin. Claiming that the large concentration of coconut farming in Pattukottai and Peravurani region would ensure long-term rural employment opportunities from technical staff and filed demonstrators to input supplies, value-addition units and market link facilitators, the association said the setting up of a coconut-focused KVK at Pattukottai would help provide the latest, best-practice technologies in varietal selection, water-use efficiency, nutrient management, pest surveillance and post-harvest value addition directly to small and marginal coconut farmers, who currently rely on outdated methods.

Water skier in critical condition after '90mph crash' at Hanseatic Festival of Water Sports
A water skier has been left in a life-threatening condition by a crash which happened at Europe's biggest watersports competition. The crash happened in the penultimate race of the day at the Hanseatic Festival of Water Sports in west Norfolk on Sunday, and led to the rest of the day's action being cancelled. The man, who has not been named, was airlifted to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge with serious injuries. Onlookers watched as the man, who was being pulled by a speedboat at speeds of up to 90mph, span through the air and hit the water, according to reports. A spokesman for the organisers said: "Our thoughts at this time are with the family and teammates of the injured skier. We are also thinking of the other competitors and teams who were obviously shocked by this incident. "While any competitive motorsport is clearly not without risk, thankfully incidents of this nature are rare," said the spokesman for the Borough Council of King's Lynn & West Norfolk and the Hanseatic Festival of Water Sports organising committee. A rescue crew, divers, and paramedics on land and water were on hand to offer support, he added. "This meant accident procedures could be immediately initiated when the incident occurred, ensuring a quick and comprehensive response was provided to aid the casualty in the water." Organisers also thanked the emergency services including Norfolk Accident Rescue Service (NARS) and Norfolk Police for their response "which allowed the casualty to be stabilised and airlifted to hospital as quickly as possible". A spokesman for Norfolk Police said: "Police were called to South Quay, King's Lynn at 4.50pm [on Sunday] following reports that a man involved in a water skiing race had been injured. "Emergency services attended the scene including ambulance and air ambulance. A man aged in his 40s was taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital with life-threatening injuries."

7 Low-Maintenance Makeup Trends For Every Kind Of Summer Vibe
All linked products are independently selected by our editors. If you purchase any of these products, we may earn a commission. Summer is the perfect time for a little reinvention — or at least a minor makeup shake-up. With lighter evenings and brighter mornings, there are more daylight hours to experiment (no dressing table lamp or big light required). There's also a buzz in the air with weddings, festivals, and the thrill of getting dressed up again. The only catch? Sweltering heat, rising humidity and icy blasts of air-con don't exactly make the best conditions for makeup. With that in mind, we asked four brilliant makeup artists to share the summer trends that actually work in real life. Think butter skin, watercolour finishes and blurred lips: low-maintenance, high-impact looks that won't slide off your face by lunchtime. Butter Skin View this post on Instagram A post shared by Violette (@violette_fr) Nature does our skin plenty of favours during the summer. Warmer temperatures create an effortless sheen, a little sunshine gifts us a golden glow (though sunscreen is always non-negotiable), and naturally dry complexions don't need quite as much TLC to stay hydrated and happy. The butter skin trend is all about building on this, laying the foundations with good skin prep before layering up. 'Cream and liquid products create a dewy, smooth glow,' says Jen Lyons, artistry manager at NARS. She suggests approaching skincare with a light hand; we're aiming for butter that's been out of the fridge just long enough to give it a touch of glossiness (á la this soft look posted to Instagram by Violette_FR), not so long that it's a glass-skin-esque puddle in the dish. Watercolour Makeup View this post on Instagram A post shared by Emily Wood (@emilywoodmakeup) Watercolour makeup takes its inspiration from the wishy-washy technique and sheerness of watercolour paints — and it can be worn on your cheeks, eyes and lips. Much chicer than your GCSE art class, Lyons explains that it's all about 'softly blended makeup that's lightly diffused.' Makeup artist Emily Wood and her haphazardly blended eyes and cheeks are the inspiration here. Think washes of colour rather than pops, and blurred edges rather than harsh lines: 'Layering multiple products without a strong pigment will help to enhance this multidimensional look,' Lyons advises. Just because the pigment isn't bold doesn't mean the shades can't be, though. This is a good opportunity to brave brighter hues than you might normally. Try 19/99 Watercolour Tint, £19, Armani Luminous Silk Cheek Tint Liquid Blush, £37, and Refy Lip Blush, £16. Once you've selected your products (liquid is best, and the thinner the texture, the better), it's all about blending. The finished look should be seamless. Use a fluffy brush to buff out or use the warmth of your fingers to melt the makeup into place. Blurred Lip Lines View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kelly Ariella (@kellyariella) Too low maintenance to bother with a pristine lip? Jamie Genevieve, makeup artist and founder of VIEVE, understands: 'A blurred Cupid's bow is the perfect look for summer,' says Genevieve. 'It embraces the romantic blurred lip trend, which focuses on softening the edges of the lips to give them a smoother, more rounded appearance,' much like this look on Kelly Ariella. This is music to the ears of anyone who finds it impossible to keep their hands steady as soon as they try to trace their lips, or that one side of their Cupid's bow always looks better than the other. 'I start by using lip liner to softly draw around the edges of the lip, pressing slightly firmer to get a more defined Cupid's bow,' says Genevieve. 'Then I go in with the VIEVE Poutder, £23. The soft, matte mousse melts into lips and creates this velvety finish.' To really achieve that blurred lip effect, gently smudge along the lip line of your Cupid's bow with your fingertip before moving on to lip mousse or a stain. Texture Harmony View this post on Instagram A post shared by EVELINE VANDERSTRAETEN (@evelinevds_) Skin texture trends have come a long way, evolving from flat matte in 2015 to the butter skin we're seeing today. But makeup artists suggest blending the two: 'We are seeing people being meaningful with the textures they are creating on the skin,' says Carly Utting, senior artist at MAC. 'Makeup lovers are no longer looking for all-over glowy foundations or completely matte skin; the magic happens when the two textures meet perfectly.' Think a demi-matte centre of the face with a perimeter of glow around the edges, says Utting. 'It keeps the skin looking reflective in the right areas but smooth and blurred in the centre.' We love this makeup on Eveline Vanderstraeten. As the middle of your face is where you're most likely to experience excess shine or redness, it makes sense to go for a higher coverage, less glowy finish here. Forgoing powder or mattifying primer around the edges of your face is an easy way to achieve the trend with minimal effort. Or for the makeup maximalists, use a different primer for each zone of your face. Favourites of ours include Iconic London Underglow Blurring Primer, £25, and e.l.f. Power Grip Matte Primer, £10. The '00s Nude Lip View this post on Instagram A post shared by MYLA (@pradaolic) Crochet bandanas are back, so it was only a matter of time before '00s pale lips returned, too. 'We're predicting a 'blanked out' sheer wash of skin tones on the lips this summer,' says Utting, who pinpoints Gabbriette as modern inspiration. We also love this glossy look on artist Myla. Just don't try to achieve it with a layer of Dream Matte Mousse: 'For 2025, this trend has evolved to a more modern feel, with pale nude lips bringing a satin texture rather than opaque matte,' she says. Adding, ' MAC's Lipstick in Fleshpot, £25, is the ultimate 2000s lip shade. Try patting a small amount onto the lips with a clean finger just to knock back the colour of the lips.' For deeper skin tones, the shade Stone, £25, is similarly cool in tone and provides the same effect. This works especially well in summer, when skin looks naturally more vibrant and wardrobes get bolder, too. It's not a look that pairs with a muted palette. For a subtler take, try layering one of these 'blanked-out' shades under your go-to neutral lipstick for a hint of the trend. Blue Jeans View this post on Instagram A post shared by UK Pro Artist Charlotte Tilbury (@gracesloanmua) The shade of summer skies started making a comeback on eyes at Fashion Week SS24 — and it seems to be sticking around for another season. The hue du jour for 2025 is denim rather than cobalt or cerulean, making this a far more wearable take. 'With Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour bringing country and western style to high street stores — with blue suede tassels and washed denim jeans — it was only a matter of time before we saw this translate to makeup,' Utting explains. 'This blue mixes a little grey onto the palette; try MAC Dazzleshadow Eyeshadow Stick in Bedazzled Denim, £22, or the eyeshadow in Tilt, £20.' Even in this muted hue, blue is still bolder than your average beige or taupe, so keep the rest simple, like this look by Grace Sloan, UK pro artist for Charlotte Tilbury. Utting suggests combining denim blue hues with soft bronzed skin and a glossy lip. Self-Expression View this post on Instagram A post shared by KATIE JANE HUGHES (@katiejanehughes) The clean girl aesthetic has ruled for a while now (thanks, Hailey Bieber), but it's starting to feel a little… dare we say, boring? As a result, self-expression is less a trend and more a movement: 'Do whatever makes your makeup feel like you,' says Lyons. If you're not sure where to start, she suggests thinking about your favourite feature: 'Your eye colour, lip shape, cheekbones. Create your makeup look around enhancing them.' No one does it better than makeup artist Katie Jane Hughes here. If you're not ready to stray too far from the clean look, Emma Tilman, global pro artist at Estée Lauder, suggests dipping a toe in by embracing the creative side of makeup with natural skin, but an added pop of colour, too. 'Try a pastel lilac eyeliner or blue eyeshadow like we saw on the spring and summer runways, or a coloured mascara for a more subtle approach.' We love Sephora Collection Size Up Supersized Volume Mascara in Blue, £13.49, and Revolution Wrap Lash Tubing Mascara Burgundy, £11. The rules are, there are no rules.
