GLOW GIRL

First up, revitalise your dull winter skin and give your complexion a healthier glow. Genius dermatologist Dr Nick Lowe has brought out his own range at Boots. I love his Illuminating Brightening Radiance Treatment, £16.95, which brightens the dullest skin and helps fade age spots and pigmentation.

BEST BUY - COVER UP

If you still feel your skin needs a little help, take cover with Barbara Daly make-up for Tesco. Souffle Foundation, £6.75, and Souffle Blush, £4.50, for a hint of colour. These ultra-light formulas are ideal for creating a sheer, un-cakey complexion, which is perfect to cope with harsh January light.

PERFECT PEEPERS

Try something lighter on your eyes, too - winter's vampy shades just don't seem right, so if you're fair try Miss Sporty Fabulous Colour Palette in Off Duty Beauty, £2.99, which includes a pretty pastel blue and lilac, or if you're brunette Marks & Spencer Autograph Embossed Eyeshadow Compact, £9.50, includes a divine damson and shades of gold.

SEXY LASHES

Top off with a new mascara - Rimmel's Volume Flash Mousse Mascara, £4.99, gives five times the volume but with an airy, light formula that won't make your lashes feel heavy.

PUCKER UP

Lighten up your lips, too, with 17 Limited Edition Lip Palette (free when you spend £5 on 17 Cosmetics at Boots). This gorgeous girly palette contains everything you need for revitalising winter lips including a lip scrub, balm, plumper and two glosses in pink or red.

NAIL IT

Finally, for chic nails to match, the No7 Spring Nails Pamper Kit, £15 at Boots, contains four flattering No7 Stay Perfect nail colours plus all the tools you need to give your digits a nail-brightening finish.
