WHAT’S NOW & HOW TO DO IT... PARTY LEGS

IF YOU’RE braving bare legs this party season, make sure your pins are in top condition. Ditch fake tan: it’s too messy. Instead, try a glossing product that will give a hint of colour and washes off at the end of the night.

Start with a good exfoliation to smooth skin, using a product such as Laura Mercier Almond Coconut Milk Scrub (below right, £37, spacenk.com). Follow with St Tropez Instant Tan Finishing Gloss (below left, £12, Boots).

Finally, for a slimming effect, sweep a line of Charlotte Tilbury Supermodel Body liquid highlighter (centre, £45, feelunique. com) down your shins. It will transform your legs.
