COSMETIC CRAVING

CREAM blusher is essential for bringing life to a washed-out face without giving an air of overly made-up desperation. But getting the texture right is tough. Gen Z favourite Florence By Mills Cheek Me Later Cream Blush (£9.80, beautybay.com) is just right: a velvet cream with punchy pigments that saves me from zombie-dom with a few dabs.

It has a good selection of undertones too, to brighten any complexion.
