Mix a bit of blush into gold pigment to build your perfect eyeshadow, and finish with a shimmering lip.

Natural deodorants take a while to get used to, so you’d better get started before summer kicks in. Try the new Ben & Anna solid deodorants (£9.95, benandanna.uk), which are certified natural, organic and vegan, and come in plastic-free packaging, too
