1. Work your make-up. Turn eye shadow into eyeliner by wetting the tip of an eyeliner brush and dipping it in dark eye shadow. Red-gold or peachy eye shadows can also work well as blushers and lip colours (with gloss on top)
2. Less is more - heavy foundation only accentuates wrinkles. Instead stick to using illuminators and tinted moisturisers only in places that need it - under eyes, around nose and work from the centre outwards.
3. Set eyelash curls by quickly heating the eyelash curler with a blowdryer first. If you've already put on mascara, let it dry and then go ahead with the curling - some say the curl holds better this way round.
4. Applying foundation under eye shadow makes it last longer. Put loose powder under eyes before applying, especially if your eye shadow contains glitter. Wiping powder away takes any spills with it.
5. Crushed glitter liquid liner used over black eyeliner is very striking. Use cream eye shadow under glitter instead of a powder.
6. Don't forget to neaten and define your brows, they shouldn't be left out as they frame your eye make-up. Slick in place with Vaseline or hairspray (sprayed on your fingers first).
7. Keep skin tones consistent. Use a bronzer brush to avoid a glowing face on top of pale cleavage and arms.
8. Avoid an overloaded crunchy effect when using hairspray by misting over a comb then working through your hair.
9. Give tired post-party eyes a treat by keeping some soothing eye cream on stand-by in the fridge.
10. Use classic skin softeners such as baby oil and Vaseline. E45 cream is one of the best all-purpose moisturisers around.
