Best Multitasker

Lancome Le Monochromatique in Rouge a la Folie, €31, Brown Thomas

This is a creme-powder, and it feels gorgeously velvety when you dab at it with your finger, to apply on cheeks, eyes or lips. Available in five shades, that run from a pale, opalescent pink to a deep plum, you can achieve as pretty or as dramatic an effect as you wish. This shade is a bold dark pink that needs some supporting colours on the eyes, but, as a lip colour, it is rich and deep. “Wonderfully pigment-packed,” said a panellist. “Not at all powdery, and very sexy.”
