A Make-Up Artist Chooses Her Favourite Pick-Me-Ups
The Glowy Primer
Skin Nova Radiant Makeup Primer, £31 | Vieve
This multi-tasking primer layers well both under and over make-up – it’s the perfect glowy base. Full of skin-loving ingredients, it hydrates, brightens and illuminates, and can be used in a few different ways. I love mixing a drop into my foundation or pressing it over the high points of my face. It's an amazing all-rounder and a staple in my beauty routine.

The Eye Enhancer
Glam Palette, £64 | Natasha Denona
Natasha Denona’s Glam Palette is a best-seller for a reason. Its beautiful mix of luminous shades, metallics and matte textures make for endless possibilities.. It’s a staple in my kit as well as in my personal make-up bag. Its shades are flattering and wearable – there’s a combination to suit every eye colour and skin tone.

The Sun-Kissed Veil
Les Beiges Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream, £50 | Chanel
Bronzer always makes me feel good, and brings my skin to life with a single swipe. This Chanel formula has been in my kit for years – I love how it creates a sun-kissed glow but with a velvety, soft-focus finish that lasts. The texture is unique, and the pot lasts a really long time.

The Hero Mascara
High Impact™ Mascara, £20.40 (was £25.50) | Clinique
Mascara is one of my favourite make-up products for enhancing and transforming a look in seconds. I always feel more put-together when I’m wearing it. I’ve used Clinique High Impact Mascara since my teens – my mum got me into this in the early 90s! The burgundy version is a great alternative if you’re after something a little softer.

The Versatile Lip
Posh Lipstick, £37 | Victoria Beckham Beauty
One lipstick shade I buy on repeat is ‘Pout’ by Victoria Beckham Beauty. It’s an amplified version of my natural lip colour, with a satin texture that glides on. I love how versatile it is for every kind of look, whether you’re wearing very minimal make-up or a full smokey eye. Plus, it’s lovely dabbed on the apples of the cheeks.

The Must-Try Tool
Eyelash Curler, £21.60 (was £27) | Shiseido
Lash curlers never fail to impress. The instant lift makes such a difference, especially first thing in the morning. It’s a step that’s often skipped, but it’s the secret to looking wide awake. Investing in a quality tool and ensuring the rubber pads are replaced regularly will guarantee the best results. Shiseido’s version is my favourite as the design works for every eye shape.

The Barely-There Skin
Seamless Skin Enhancing Tint, £37 | Lisa Eldridge Beauty
Every day feels like a good skin day when I use this skin tint. The effect is so natural looking and it offers just the right amount of coverage to reduce redness and even out your complexion. It also comes in a handy, compact size – ideal for your make-up bag.

The Multi-Tasking Palette
Ambient Lighting Palette, £68 | Hourglass
This is a mini make-up kit in one sleek compact. I can do a full skin and eye look with it. The powders are so finely milled, they bring skin to life without looking like make-up – just a soft, diffused glow. Perfect for on the go, and it lasts forever.

The Flattering Flush
Soft Pinch Liquid Blush, £24 | Rare Beauty
Blush instantly perks up and lifts the complexion, adding colour and glow. Rare Beauty’s Soft Pinch Liquid Blush blends like a dream for a fresh, healthy flush – ‘Happy’ and ‘Joy’ are my favourites. If you’re after a matte finish, the new Soft Pinch Matte Bouncy Blush is just as effortless, gliding on beautifully with brushes or fingertips.

The Statement Lip
MACximal Silky Matte Lipstick, £25 | M·A·C
A bold lip always lifts my mood, and M·A·C’s ‘Lady Danger’ is the ultimate feel-good shade. The vibrant orange-red is iconic, and I love wearing it with minimal make-up for an uplifting pop of colour.
