Just because it’s winter doesn’t mean you can’t have a tan. Give yourself a golden glow with L’Oréal Paris Sublime Bronze Luminous Bronzer, $24.99.

Sweep on Maybelline New York Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer, $19.99, to cover dark circles and even out your complexion.

Smashbox Photo Finish Luminizing Foundation Primer, $76, creates a warm glow under makeup for truly luminous-looking skin.

Dab Nude by Nature Soft Focus Illuminator, $28.95, along the top of the cheekbones, the bridge of your nose and along your Cupid’s bow.

The iridescent formula of Bobbi Brown Lip Gloss in Almost Nude, $50, creates the illusion of fuller lips, while also making teeth look whiter. What’s not to love?

Blend Benefit High Brow, $41, under the arch of your eyebrow for an instant eye lift. And if you really want your eyes to pop, line your waterline with this crayon too.

Brighten eyes with a sweep of a champagne-coloured shadow, like Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tint for Eyes in Bountiful Beige, $40.

If you’re worried about getting too heavy-handed with a liquid highlighter, try a buildable powder formula like Revlon Highlighting Palette in Peach Glow, $29.50.
