Looking lacklustre? Nudestix {Intense Matte Lip + Cheek Pencil} is the easiest, instant pick-me-up whenever you look washed our or fatigued. These multi-tasking pencils are handbag must-haves - simply scribble on the apples of your cheeks and daub on lips, then blend for instant 'oomph'.
Got a minute to look like you've made an attempt at effort? Immaculate eyebrows speak volumes, so spend the precious seconds enhancing your arches with Nudestix double-ended {Eyebrow Stylus}. With a soft angled pencil to 'fill in' sparse patches, and clear gel to define and 'set' hairs in place, it's ultra-quick (and über-easy).
Fake 'wide awake' with {BECCA}'s brilliant {Champagne Collection Slimlight} - a twist-up crème highlight that's ideal for enhancing cheekbones, brow bones and illuminating inner corners of each eye. The simplest way to disguise signs of a too-late night (or too many cocktails), this creates a 'halo effect' to leave you looking enviably luminous.
The ultimate foil for skin crises, HealGel's fast-acting {HealGel Intensive} was developed by a team of surgeons to accelerate 'down time' post-treatment. The soothing gel formula hydrates, alleviates redness and reduces irritation, so it's your go-to for battling blemishes, taking the sting out of sunburn and combatting extreme dryness (it's great for eczema and psoriasis).
Caught out by a sudden cloud-clearing? Peter Thomas Roth's {Instant Mineral SPF 45} is a quick and convenient powder sunscreen that provides high factor, broad spectrum protection from the harmful, skin-ageing effects of UV rays. Simply dust over make up to shield your complexion and keep shine at bay.
