1 If you use a panstick... swap to a serum foundation
When it comes to creating a flattering base, the more your skin shines through the better, so avoid heavy, flat-looking foundations. A full-coverage panstick can sit in lines and accentuate dry patches, whereas something with a little sheen gives a smoother finish.
Maybelline Super Stay 24H Skin Tint Foundation, £12.99, has buildable coverage, with the added benefit of built-in vitamin C to brighten your skin. If you rate the twist-up format of the panstick, Flex Foundation Stick, £32, sephora.co.uk, gives great coverage with skin-soothing, glow-giving ingredients.
2 If you use matt lipstick... swap to a satin
Matt lipsticks tend to be on the dry side, and their lack of shine means they'll make lips look thinner. Creamy lipsticks combine beautiful gloss with staying power. Colour is irrelevant; have fun and wear whatever shade you like. Use your foundation as a primer by applying a light layer across lips, then line your mouth with a pencil close to the colour of your natural lip tone before applying colour. L'Oréal Color Riche Lipsticks, £8.99, feel comfortable and moisturising.
3 If you use black mascara... swap to brown mascara
