Showstopping eyes

When you have limited time, focus on one area to play up rather than go for something complicated. Eyeshadow sticks are our favourite way of creating a

speedy, striking look. Kiko Long Lasting Eyeshadow Sticks, £8.99 each, kikocosmetics.com, are brilliant, and blend really well. Use the darker tones along the lash line, blending with lighter tones on the rest of the socket. False eyelashes can be a real faff, but there’s a new genius way to try them, and it’s quicker than putting on mascara! Eylure Luxe Magnetic Lashes Baroque Corner, £13.90, feelunique.com, works like magic. Two sets of lashes ‘click’ together using tiny magnets, and take just seconds to transform your look. They can be reused 15 times, making them extra cost effective.
