Makeup masterclass: Dear Santa…
Dreaming of a stocking filled with all things glam? Here are the beauties that we’ll be asking for
- Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow in Galaxy and Burnished, £16 each, bobbibrown.co.uk. These slightly shimmery eyeshadows are great for the evening. A deep silver teamed with a lovely warm copper brown looks especially good on paler skin.
- Smythson Large Make-Up Brush Roll, Malachite Collection, £325, smythson.com. This teal case is the smartest way to look after your make-up brushes, whether you’re at home or away – and the brushes and tweezers that come with it are great. It’s expensive, but it will last for years.
- Sleek Makeup I Divine in Graphite, £4.99, from Superdrug, tel: 0800 096 1055.
A great-value eyeshadow palette packed with a selection of 12 smoky shadows in pewter and grey tones along with silvery highlighters.

- Guerlain Eclat Impérial Sublime Radiant Powder, £47.50, tel: 01932 233887. A beautiful retro atomiser that dispenses shimmery powder instead of scent. A couple of puffs gives skin a subtle sheen, which is especially lovely on shoulders, arms and décolletage, and the bottle will add a touch of glamour to every dressing table.
- Nars The Multiple in Orgasm, £27, narscosmetics.co.uk. This peach-pink cream blush stick with a hint of gold is an old favourite. Blend on to cheeks and lips for a flattering glow.
- JK Jemma Kidd i-Conic Eyes Pencil Liner set, £13.50, from asos.com. A mini eyeliner pencil kit with black, brown, blue and green pencils, each with a super-useful built-in sharpener. Ideal for stashing in your party clutch for a quick retouch or a day-to-night transformation.
