LOCKED away for weeks on end in an isolated villa, the Love Island contestants still manage to look glam. New hopeful Shannon Singh, 25, shocked viewers on Monday’s opening episode by entering the villa wearing no make-up, while the others piled on the foundation, fake tan and false lashes. 13 Ever wondered how the Love Island lot manage to look so glam?

So how do the girls look like they have just stepped out of a salon and keep their spots at bay?

Siobhan O'Connor and Sarah Oldfield find out.

Waxing each other's bikini lines

13 Olivia Buckland admitted the Love Islanders have to do their own waxing Credit: Rex WHILE the islanders always look perfectly preened, series two runner-up Olivia Buckland, 27, revealed there were no professional bikini waxes on offer. Instead, contestants could request a waxing kit from the producers and get another girl to do it. Or they would shave. Series seven islander Megan Barton Hanson, 27, says: “I had to shave daily as I never knew if it was going to be my night in the hideaway — I also had no idea how close the close-ups were as I’d never been on TV before.”

Coconut oil to stop shaving rash

13 Megan Barton Hanson said she used coconut oil to avoid razor rashes Credit: Rex Features MEGAN also reveals she was happy to share shavers. She says: “I used whatever razor looked the sharpest, but it was hard to look elegant. “There was no bathroom door and just a slither of frosted glass to protect my modesty so I would be cocking my leg up in the shower while constantly looking over my shoulder to make sure no one was coming. "I always smothered my skin in coconut oil afterwards to prevent any rashes.”

Secret hair masks when cameras off

13 Demi Jones's saving grace was using hair masks while the cameras were off DEMI, JONES 22, who was on season six in 2020, says: “Long hours in the sun made my hair extremely dry, especially when coupled with the constant heat from hair tools. "To keep it looking shiny and healthy, I would coat my ends in a hair mask for at least an hour while we had dinner, because we were never filmed then. “Then I’d wash it off and style it for the night ahead — I always used Garnier Ultimate Blends Hair Food mask banana and shea (£6.99, Superdrug). “We didn’t have very much time to get ready in the evenings. All the girls would always rush to the best seat, so I saved time by moisturising my skin with a face mask while I did my hair — dryness makes it harder to apply make-up.”

13 Georgia Steel's secret to good skin was Sudocrem Credit: Rex

SEASON four’s Georgia Steel, 23, says: “I swore by Sudocrem. If I saw a slight pimple trying to breakout on my face I would slather it in Sudocrem and go to sleep. Though, it did not look that glamorous, it often worked. “If I had a spot that wouldn’t budge, I would use the art of distraction by making my eyes pop instead. "I would line under my eye and the corners to make them look wider, brighter and less tired too.”

Make-up discouraged during daytime

13 Kady McDermott said make-up was discouraged in the day

“But the producers always made it clear that we had to look different from the day to evening so would encourage us not to wear make-up during the day and to glam it up every night even if nothing was happening, so we went OTT on make-up, hair, heels, the lot.”

Highlighter in moisturiser

She says: “I made my make-up extra glowy and added highlighter to my moisturiser. It would always take us a good one to two hours to get ready. “It was always a mad rush. Making sure you were front of the shower queue was a must.”

Saturday nail and lash appointments

13 In 2018 we saw Dani Dyer use a hair dryer to curl her lashes IN the past fans have spotted the girls’ salon-fresh nails despite the fact they are not meant to have contact with the outside world. Kady previously said: “We had our nails done once the whole time. I was there for six weeks!” But it seems hers was the last series to take such a relaxed approach. Show host Laura Whitmore, 36, recently revealed: “On Saturday, when there is no show on, their eyelashes and acrylic nails get redone.” Now that they have the professionals at their disposal, it is unlikely that any of this year’s contestants will resort to using a hair dryer to curl their lashes, like 2018 winner Dani Dyer, 24, used to.

Those tans are all fake

13 The cast use fake tan to achieve that healthy glow without burning WITH little to do other than sunbathe, you would expect the Islanders’ envy-inducing tans to be natural. But Love Island podcast host Arielle Free revealed: “They fake tan a lot too as they don’t want to sunbathe too much or burn.” Host Laura confirmed this after she visited the villa’s dressing room, saying: “I always thought it must be really messy, and they had this blue carpet and it was stained with fake tan everywhere and I was like, ‘I knew it!’.”

13 This year the glam room is better stocked than ever

THE villa has an enviable stash of fashion and beauty products that the Islanders can help themselves to. This year, having signed up nine official partners for a record £12million-plus, the glam room is set to be better stocked than ever. Boots is this series’ “feel good” partner, Cloud Nine is the official hair partner, and JD Sports is providing the fitness and activewear.

Boys use shimmer oil to look toned

13 Samira Mighty revealed the male cast members use shimmering oil to look more toned Credit: Rex Features IN previous years, the cast’s most in-demand products have included micellar cleansing products, SPF 30, firm hold hairspray and shimmering aftersuns. Samira Mighty, 25, who appeared on the 2018 series, told how the boys slathered on shimmering oils to look more toned.

Boys get hair trims

13 Nathan Massey was treated to a haircut because he 'looked like Shaggy from Scooby-Doo' Credit: Rex CARA DELAHOYDE, 2016’s winner, revealed her partner Nathan Massey, 31, was treated to a haircut because he “looked like Shaggy from Scooby-Doo”. While they once left the villa for hair appointments, now that the show is huge, Laura revealed that they have someone come in to do root touch-ups and trims and the finalists are all treated to a hairdresser for the last episode. And 2019 contestant Lucie Donlan revealed they get McDonald’s on hair trim days.

Make-up artists for finals

13 When Amber Gill was crowned 2019's winner, her glam squad included celeb make-up artist Gemma Wheatcroft Credit: Rex Features THE girls are always immaculately turned out, leading to speculation they have access to make-up artists. But Paige Turley, 23, who won Winter Love Island with boyfriend Finn Tapp, 21, last year, told Fabulous: “The only night we got hair and make-up artists was the final.” When Amber Gill, 23, was crowned the summer show’s 2019 winner, her glam squad that day included celeb make-up artist Gemma Wheatcroft. Gemma used Rodial foundation, Huda Beauty eyeshadows, Fenty Beauty highlighters and HD Brows, topped off with false lashes from Lash Unlimited and Bouclème products to refresh Amber’s curls. With this year’s series promising more drama than ever, the celebrity glam squad might pay the villa more visits than usual.
