Charlotte Tilbury Look of Love Matte Revolution Lipstick, €36 FOR a show-stopping ‘ooh-la-la’ lip, look no further than the latest from Charlotte Tilbury, which is not only phenomenally long-wearing but also remarkably hydrating. Enriched with the aptly named ‘lipstick tree’ extract with powerful protective and reparative properties, alongside 3D pigments to create the illusion of fuller lips, choose between four rosy shades with cute names like Mrs Kisses and First Dance, designed to complement every skin tone.

NARS Orgasm X Mini Blush, €18 I FIND that my blush is the first thing to fade after I hit the dance floor, so to put some flush back into my cheeks I always reach for this portable cult classic that has been shrunk into this teeny, tiny, handy compact. It goes without saying that you should handle with care, nobody wants to come back from the toilet looking like Ronald McDonald — but this little wonder is soft and effortlessly blendable and gives off a natural, healthy-looking colour.

This moisturising mist sets and refreshes makeup in a flash. Spritz throughout the day to revive your look and quench thirsty skin. It hydrates with hyaluronic acid and trehalose, whilst keeping oily skin at bay with lemon extract and betaine.
