MAC IRIDESCENT POWDER, £17 (www.maccosmetics.co.uk)

What they say: This iridescent powder is a finely-milled mixture of mica and pigments which gives the skin a beautiful sheen. It can be used on its own or mixed into other products like foundations or moisturisers to enhance their iridescent qualities.

The Results: This is the perfect tool for creating a fun party look. It gives a really glittery effect, which looks great on the cheekbones. I even brushed some on my legs and arms to give them a sparkle for my night out. It’s not ideal for the day-time as there’s nothing natural about this product - but it’s great for adding glamour to nights out. The highlighter goes on quite heavily, so you only need to apply a tiny amount to get a stunning effect. I found that it applied easily with a blusher brush as I could tap off the excess product and gradually build my look. When applied with my finger it was quite difficult to control the product.

Best for: Parties
