Party season face makeup
Makeup Revolution Glow Beam Light Strobe Cream
We can't get enough of this balmy highlighter. Pop it on before you apply foundation for a natural-looking lit-from-within glow.
Available in three shades - Champagne, Peach and Bronze - it makes light work of transforming tired-looking, dull skin into pure radiance.
Priced between £4 and £6, it is excellent value too.
This product is only available from Makeup Revolution. Visit the brand's website for full product details.
W7 Lift and Sculpt
With fantastic concealers, bronzer and contouring creams, the W7 Lift and Sculpt palette will help you define your features and give your face some warmth.
It is super easy to use and is priced at around £5. The palette includes six large pans of makeup and a mirror. What's not to love?

Blusher
One of the hottest makeup products this winter, a blusher is an absolute must for the party season. As well as boosting the complexion, this product will ensure you are bang on trend.
Our recommended palette is by Langmanni and features four powdered blushers and four cream ones. So, you get eight products in a single purchase - all for under £7.
Cream and liquid blush are currently popular and are especially suited to mature skin.
Finishing powder
There are lots of finishing products on the market at the moment, but only one gets 100 per cent of our thumbs up. It's Jerome Alexander's Magic Minerals.
It really is magic, concealing imperfections and leaving the skin looking flawless. It's our go-to product for those special occasions when you simply have to look your best.
Magic Minerals, which can be used as a foundation as well as a finishing powder, is available to buy on its own or in a travel set which includes a blusher, highlighter and eyeshadow as well as makeup brushes.
The price of this product ranges from £9.99 to £15.99.
Party season eye Makeup
LaRoc Pro - The Bakery Box
This eyeshadow palette is jam-packed with pigments that are guaranteed to make you the belle of the ball this party season.
With 26 shades, including two pigments for your cheeks, it has all the right ingredients for the WOW factor.
We love this palette because it doesn't just include the all-important shimmers and glitters, it has plenty of mattes too - something a lot of palettes lack.
The Bakery Box ranges in price from £9.99 to £19.99.
Clinique High Impact Mascara Set
You can't beat this mascara for an effortless false lash effect. It is the blackest black and requires fewer coats than many of its competitors.
It is sold with eyeliner and makeup remover, making it doubly delightful.
The Clinique High Impact Mascara Set is currently priced at around £30.
Lips
Max Factor Colour Elixir Lipstick in English Rose
Pink is hot, hot, hot right now and this lipstick is not only on-trend it's gorgeous. Suitable for practically every skin tone, it is pretty and bright but not too bold.
Made with a moisturising formula that includes vitamin E, this product also contains antioxidants.
Want this lipstick but can't quite stretch to a blusher? Use it on your cheeks too for a co-ordinated look.
Current price: £12.
Makeup Revolution Hot Shot Lip Flame Plumping Gloss Pink Heat
We are addicted to this plumping lip gloss. It has a subtle pink hue, that all-important initial tingle and plumps up any pout.
The more we've tried it, the better the results.
This product is only available from Makeup Revolution.
