Audrey’s Top Six Essentials!

Soft smooth feet, luscious lashes, big hair, and a dewy complexion with a healthy blush… what more could you want?

1. NATURAL DEFENCE Every beauty expert stresses the importance of protecting our skin from sun and the environment and cult beauty brand Beauty Kitchen’s Invisible Mineral Shield Primer Cream SPF30 £14.99, Holland & Barrett is just the ticket. It’s 100% natural, fragrance free and feels light on the skin without stickiness.

2. PEARLY FLUSH Blusher warms the complexion and new Sheer Dimensions™ Powder £22, MARYKAY.CO.UK is light and weightless with a silky finish that melts into the skin giving a pretty flush of colour that won’t settle into fine lines. Four shades – Lace, Chiffon, Ribbon, and opalescent Pearls. The big compact lasts well.

3. NIGHT LIFE Breathe life into your skin while you sleep with Vichy Slow Age Night £32, Boots. Don’t let the appearance put you off – dark brown with a texture closer to gel than cream. The fragrant 2-in-1 cream and mask glides over skin in a silky, nourishing veil, leaving it radiant and dewy next day.

4. WONDER WAND I was amazed at the results with bare Minerals Lashtopia™ Mega Volume Mineral-based Mascara £21, department stores. You only need to wave it near your lashes to make them luscious! OK, that’s an exaggeration, but one coat made a huge difference and two completely transformed my thin lashes.

5. BOUNCY BLOWW-DRY Hair guru Andrew Barton has added to hishi haircare range for Asda with a new Hairbrush Collection £8-£10. The 14 new brushes use the latest technology: carbon to reduce static, keratin to improve elasticity and argan oil to eliminate frizz. We like the Moroccan Oil Ceramic Thermal Round Brush.

6. FOOTY FRUITY If you’d like sandal-ready feet and have time to spare try Oh K! Peeling Foot Mask £8.50, OKLIFE. COM with natural fruit acids to dissolve away hard skin. Tip the foot essence into the socks provided, fasten on, relax for an hour then rinse. Be warned, it’s a few days before skin starts to peel.
