Whatever your budget, there’s a new BB cream hitting the shelves for you. LUXE – Kiehl’s Actively Correcting & Beautifying BB Cream $62 (1) has an SPF50 and contains skin-brightening vitamin C. Gives a decent matte coverage and leaves complexion brighter and more even.

My pick for oily skin. LESS – Revlon PhotoReady BB Cream Skin Perfector $29.50 (2) is hydrating, with an almost foundation-like coverage. Has an SPF30 and gives a dewy finish. Ideal for more mature skin.

EVEN LESS – Designer Brands Tinted Moisturising BB Crème $18.99 (3) has an SPF15, evens out skin tone and delivers a semi-matte finish without sinking into lines and wrinkles. My pick for a good all-rounder at a great price.

LASH OUT

LUSH LASHES: The trend for bold, black lashes isn’t going away. MAC Extended Play Gigablack Lash $34 (1) provides plenty of extra length, separates lashes effortlessly and can be worn sheer or built up into a full-on eye look. Love it. CLEAN LASHES: Removing the intense black pigments of mascara at the end of the night is a big issue. Clarins Instant Eye Make-Up Remover (2) is especially for waterproof and heavy make-up, $46, that’s still gentle enough to use on sensitive eyes. Or try Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes $9.49 (3).
