LBD ready... FAST

‘A subtle hint of colour in winter disguises lots of skin issues, including blotchiness caused by temperature changes, veins and redness,’ says tanning expert James Harknett. ‘Use a gradual tanner once a week to build up a natural-looking glow.’ Alternatively, try tinted Melanie Mills Hollywood Gleam Body Radiance, £14 (tiltmakeup.com). For a quick (but luxurious) finishing touch, Chanel No5 Fragments D’OR, £70, adds a scented golden sheen to décolletage, tops of shoulders, back and arms. Or for serious sparkle, dust on Dior Diorific Precious Rocks Golden Glow Loose Powder, £40.
