Audrey’s Top Six Essentials!

These products have intense moisturising, great coverage, and super colour, letting you face the new year with confidence!

1. EASY AS 1-2-3

If you find the idea of contouring your face daunting, there are easy 3-step instructions on the back of the packaging for Miracle Contouring £14.99, Max Factor to create defined cheekbones, give yourself an ‘eyelift’ and add a youthful glow. The creamy formula is easy to blend; give it a go!

4. BE FIRM

Hyaluronic acid locks in moisture and is one of the skin-smoothing ingredients in Super facialist’s Hyaluronic Acid Firming range from £8.99, Boots. Start with rinse-off Brightening Cleanser, a pea-size blob of gel-formula Intense Facial Serum under Superlift Day/Night Cream, then dot on Eye Cream.

2. CREAMY COVERAGE

If like me you’ve developed a few age spots and thread veins over time, here’s a foundation that covers without feeling heavy or settling into lines. Laura Geller Cover Lock Cream Foundation £28, Debenhams/Feelunique. com not only evens out skin tone, it’s vitamin-enriched and hydrating.

5. EYE MULTITASKER

Here’s a hard-working multitasker to save money and streamline your makeup bag! Use Ombré Smoky Eyeshadow & Liner £5.99, Bourjois, simply as an eyeliner, or apply more thickly and smudge over the eyelid using the sponge end to create a sexy, smoky eye. In six sultry shades.

3. FULL-ON LIPS

A creamy liner that doubles as a lipstick or base, with a brush at one end for blending, plus collagen-boosting peptides and hyaluronic acid to plump and moisturise your natural lips. I like it! Buxom Plumpline™ Lip Liners £15, Debenhams are available in 20 shades.

6. GLOW ON

Ever noticed how celebrities seem to have a special glow? It’s partly down to clever makeup products and techniques. Insta Strobing Highlighters £5.99, Rimmel, can help you get a glow of your own – mix a little in with foundation, or blend a small amount along your cheekbones for instant radiance.
