FIVE INSTANT LOOK-LIFTERS
1. Layer skincare formulas (a wet, hydrating cream under a rich, dense balm) to give skin a plumped-up, cushiony look, and use the warmth of your fingers to help blend the creams.
Skin can look smoother with the right foundation - Bobbi recommends whipped foundations, which work well on textured skin to fill in uneven spots. Try Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation, £6.99, No7 Intelligent Balance Mousse Foundation, £10 at Boots, or Rimmel Cool Matte Mousse 16 Hr Foundation, £6.99.
2. Brighten and lighten the under-eye area and draw attention upwards with a pink or peach-toned corrective concealer paired with a yellow-toned concealer. Be sure to apply concealer close to the lashes and to the inner corner of the eye.
For problem dark circles, keep the focus on the upper part of your eyes. Don't be tempted to line the lower lash line or apply mascara to the lower lashes.

3. Dust blush high on the apples of your cheeks so it gives the impression of higher cheekbones and no sagging in that area. A pop of pastel pink or peach blush will steer the eye away from any dark circles.

4. "I was in my 40s when I really began to notice changes around my eyes. Up to that point, I had always kept my eye make-up minimal," Bobbi reveals. "I realised that I now had to use liner daily to give my eyes back the definition they no longer had."
When lining eyes, extend the liner ever so slightly at the outer corner of the eye. Make sure the liner is thick enough and visible when your eyes are open. Her Eye Brightener, £21 or 33 Euros, is a tinted moisturiser made specially for peepers, and is available in four shades.

5. Finish by layering a light shade of light-reflecting, high-shine lipgloss like Bobbi's Brightening Lipgloss, £13 or 21.50 Euros, on top, after you've applied lipstick and lip pencil.
"Avoid dark shades, which have a minimising effect and make thin lips look even thinner. Shiny glosses and creamy lipstick formulas impart a sheen that helps create the illusion of fullness," she advises.
"Don't waste your money on balms, lip glosses, or lipsticks that claim to plump up lips - they don't work," Bobbi adds.
