5 ways to look your best on a bad day

4. Wear lippy

This is yet another time-saving solution to a glam look. Don’t underestimate the power of lipstick – a slash of this across the lips and you’ll immediately look brighter. When applied properly, it’s the product that usually stands out the most.

Julia says: ‘If you’re not blessed with full, plump lips try using the BeautyLab London Tripeptide Collagen Lip Plump (£15, beautylab.co.uk) for instant and longer-term plumping effects. When it comes to lippy or gloss, choosing a lighter shade with a shiny finish to reflect the light will give the illusion of fullness, too.’
