QHow do I update my make-up for spring? Heather, 42, Margate

AThe change in seasons is the perfect excuse to switch things up and try something new.

Start with foundation – swap heavy, matt formulas for a lighter, more radiant option. We love Max Factor Miracle Pure Skin-Improving Foundation, £13.99, Boots – it’s a base with benefits. It’s blended with super-hydrating hyaluronic acid as well as skin-brightening vitamin C, meaning that it treats skin while giving buildable coverage. The result is a glowy complexion without looking shiny. You can apply it with a brush for higher coverage, or with your hands for a more natural finish.

Add a pop of colour to your cheeks with E.l.f. Monochromatic Multi-Stick in Glimmering Guava, £5, elfcosmeticks.co.uk. This is a clever little multitasker you can use on cheeks, lips and even eyes. Apply it directly to your face and blend it in with your fingers. Lip glosses are coming back with a bang – try I Heart Revolution Watermelon Lipgloss in Fresh, £4, lookfantastic.com. The sweet-scented gloss is infused with oils to nourish lips, and it doesn’t have that annoying sticky feel.

A manicure is the easiest way to revamp your look.

Go for Barry M Gelly
