Flexible foundation

Looking for a flawless base that won’t look heavy? Sleek In Your Tone 24 Hour Foundation, £9.99, Boots, is long-wearing without drying out your complexion. It’s easy to build up the level of coverage to suit your skin, plus it’s available in 30 shades.

Fuller flutter

If you’re after a dramatic lash look, seek out Maybelline The Falsies Surreal Mascara, £11.99, Superdrug. The chunky brush gives impressive lift and volume with just one sweep.

Prime time

Primers allow your foundation to go on better and help it last longer.

E.l.f Power Grip Primer + 4% Niacinamide, £10, Superdrug, keeps your make-up pristine all day and beyond. This new formulation contains skin-soothing niacinamide, as a bonus benefit.

Plumper pout

Some matte lipsticks can dry out your pout but that’s not the case with Avon Hydramatic Matte Lipstick, £10, avon.uk.com. At the core of the colour there’s a solid strip of hydrating hyaluronic acid serum, to hydrate and plump lips.

Apply in a flash

Eyeshadow pencils make application super-speedy, and you won’t have to faff with blending endless tones. Barry M Dazzle & Define Metallic Crayon, £5.99, barrym.com, is available in three wearable metallic shades.

Cheek to cheek

There’s a blush and a bronze in one handy palette with XX Revolution Glow Sculptor Cream Blush and Bronzer, £10, revolutionbeauty.com. Dot onto cheeks and blend with your fingers for a more natural look.

Blurring base

A lighter foundation will look much more flattering in the sunshine. NYX Bare With Me Blur Tint Foundation, £10, Boots, contains blurring pigments to disguise imperfections like blemishes and pigmentation. The result is a ‘your skin, but better’ finish.
