Shameless Indulgence

WE’VE all been there: painstakingly applying perfect make-up for an important job interview or date, only to find in the light of day that we’ve dramatically overdone it.

And with research showing that people are putting too much makeup on their brushes for daytime looks, it seems we can’t be rescued by Charlotte Tilbury’s new Instant Eye Palette soon enough.

The 12 ‘control-pressed’ shades guarantee you won’t overload your brush — each helpfully grouped into four looks: day, desk, date and disco — while the versatile neutral shades will flatter all skin tones and eye colours (£60, stores nationwide).
