Elizabeth Hurley continues to captivate the world by confidently showcasing her figure in a stunning cherry red bikini at 60. When she recently shared her simple posing secret—”STRETCH! If in doubt, arms up or lie down”—she reminded us that confidence is the most attractive quality anyone can possess.
That same radiant confidence comes from feeling good in your own skin, and the right beauty products can help you achieve that. Whether you’re planning a beach day or just want that everyday glow, we’ve curated a list of essentials to help you look and feel your best.
The Lip Gloss for That Poolside Shine
No bikini look is complete without glossy, hydrated lips. For a high-shine, nourishing finish, a tinted lip serum is your go-to.
The Laneige Glaze Craze Tinted Lip Serum provides an ultra-glossy finish and instant hydration, giving the appearance of smoother lips. Its formula infuses skincare ingredients like pomegranate seed oil and ceramides, offering a sheer, buildable wash of color that feels comfortable and looks incredibly glossy. For a similar effect, you might also love the Summer Fridays Dream Lip Oil or the Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer.
The Foundation for a Flawless, Sun-Kissed Complexion
A perfect complexion doesn’t mean a heavy, matte mask. The goal is skin that looks like skin—only better.
For a velvety, all-matte finish with buildable coverage, the MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation is a long-time favorite for its versatility. If you prefer a liquid formula, the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Longwear Foundation is designed to deliver a seamless, airbrushed look. Always set your base with a fine powder like the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder to prolong its wear and minimize shine.
The Creams for All-Over Glow
Before you even think about your bikini, your skin should feel silky and look luminous.
The beloved Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Visibly Firming Body Cream is a cult classic for a reason. Its signature Cheirosa 62 scent, with notes of pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla, is the ultimate summer fragrance. To extend the scent, layer it with the Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 62 Perfume Mist. For a targeted treatment, the Sol de Janeiro Beija Flor Elasti-Cream helps to nourish and improve skin’s elasticity.
The Secret to a Lit-From-Within Glow
A healthy flush makes you look vibrant and well-rested.
For a natural, melting blush that blends seamlessly into the skin, try the Rare Beauty Stay Vulnerable Melting Blush. If you prefer a liquid formula, the NARS Afterglow Liquid Blush offers a beautiful, blendable flush of color. Apply a touch of highlighter like the Rare Beauty Positive Light Silky Touch Highlighter to your cheekbones and collarbones to catch the light perfectly.
The Final Touch: Sun Protection is Non-Negotiable
Hurley herself ends her advice with a crucial reminder: “remember your sun block”♥️. This is the most important step in any routine.
For reliable, high-protection coverage that feels good on the skin, the La Roche-Posay Anthelios Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 is an excellent choice. Pair it with their Hyalu B5 Serum to replenish and hydrate your skin, keeping it plump and healthy-looking.
Embrace Your Confidence
Ultimately, Elizabeth Hurley’s secret isn’t just a physical pose—it’s the attitude of self-care and confidence that comes with it. By choosing products that make you feel nourished, polished, and protected, you can step into your own spotlight with confidence.
