Not blessed with Kate Moss-esque chiselled cheekbones? Fake it with Illamasqua Cream Pigment in Hollow, £17. Post-foundation, paint a line of this wonder product down the hollows of your cheeks and blend. The grey shade mimics shadow tones, enhancing contours. Everyone will think you’re a natural beauty! (1)

Every day’s a Sun day

Perk up pale skin with This Works Perfect Look Skin Miracle, £28. This moisturising face tint warms the skin whatever the weather. It’s the natural ingredients, caramel and mica, giving you colour and the vitamin E blitzing skin imperfections here, FYI. (2)

Plump my ride

Before you moisturise, add a covert layer of Astalift Jelly Aquarysta, £21. It’s rich in ceramides, which plump up skin cells for a super-smooth look, and protect against the elements, leaving your face luminous. (3)

Skin glow spell

Serums can really brighten skin. Apply to a clean face, then add moisturiser. Elemis Freshskin Super Boost Moisturising Serum, £18, contains plum oil – fab for boosting moisture and radiance in younger skin. For mature skin, Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins Mega-Bright Skin Tone Correcting Serum, £46, is the business. (4), (5)

Prime time

Beauty pros swear by primer to stop make-up sliding off. W7 Prime Magic Camera Ready Anti-Dull Skin Balancing Primer, £3.99, smooths on clear, and its purple pigment fixes grey skin caused by pollution. Ace base! (6)

  • Get a grip Add a slick of Vaseline, £2.45, before applying mascara. This helps product take hold, giving you lovely lashes.
