On the day

THE FINAL BLOW

nothing says party time like a freshly done “do”, and these days you needn’t even change out of your dressing gown to get one, thanks to mobile beauty apps. In london, Manchester and birmingham, I love Blow Ltd for their 7am-9pm appointment times and easy menu to pick from. nationwide, treatwell.co.uk is a useful resource for booking local mobile stylists.

TIRED EYES?

Avon Anew Platinum

Instant Eye Smoother, £14, is an unbelievably effective (albeit temporary) undereye tightener. It works by creating an imperceptible film that essentially “shrink-wraps” skin into a perkier state. Just pat it on as a final step over make-up – but don’t rub it in or it’ll pill.

HANDY HINT

as chief cocktail holders, your hands are often centre stage in party photos and yet, nails aside, we don’t give them much love. thirty minutes pre-party, grab a handful of Beauty Kitchen Seahorse Plankton 60 Second Manicure, £14.99. Rub for a minute, then rinse. note your nourished hands. Cheers! w&h
