5 minute lips and glamour tricks:

* Apply a slick of lip balm to hydrate dry lips Forever Living Aloe Vera Lip balm

 PM

* Apply sheer luminescent cream highlighter around upper cheek bone  Jemma Kidd Make up School Dewy Glow in Ice Gold/Rose Gold - shade to compliment skin tone

* Apply a flesh tinted beige kajal pencil to the inner eyes to diminish tired eyes and get a wide eyed look if eyes become tired Stila Topaz Eye Kajal

* Apply a sheer veil of bolder colour lip gloss for glamorous colour and shine Jemma Kidd Make up School Lip gloss

* Refreshen and re-work your under eye concealer and make up  Laura Mercier Secret Finish

Applying on top of makeup will not cause makeup to dissolve or come off - be sure not to rub the product in, simply pat in to revitalise your under eye make up and concealer. Works best around the eye area.

* Spritz a Facial Skincare Mist lightly to re-freshen tired skin Shu Uemura Deep Sea Water Mist
