Get your fundamentals right by prepping your skin with luminising lotions and pore-perfecting potions – they’ll make a hell of a difference. Try buffing in a brightening base, preferably in fluid form for maximum dewiness.

Now reach for your colour corrector, which in this case does double duty as a highlighter. What colour to choose? The current crop of colour correctors come stuffed with thirst-quenching moisture magnets and are available in an array of precision-engineered pigments to perfect patchy complexion. I love a lilac or beguiling blue hue for fair folks and a pale buttercup for bronzed babes, so let’s run with that.

Now trace an imaginary inverted triangle on your face, with the base being your forehead and nose and pointy end being your chin. Warm up a fifty-cent dollop of your colour corrector of choice on the back of your hand, then grab a fluffy synthetic brush and begin stippling little dots onto your forehead, fanning outwards from the centre of your facial “triangle”.

Finish with a judicious dab of an illuminating highlighter: Simply click, twist, then trace a C-shaped loop starting from the inner corner and ending at the outer corner of your eyes. Feel free to wield your pen on any other areas of the face where the light hits: Cupid’s bow, nose bridge and just a smidgen between your brows. Or sweep it around the shadowy corners of the mouth to camouflage imperfections.
Incredibly important caveat: If you have paper-dry skin, avoid applying your pen to the crepey outer corners of your eyelids – highlighting formulas will quite literally highlight creases and crinkles.
And you’re done! With any luck, you’ll be looking like a sexy starlet caught in a gentle garden drizzle: Dewy and divine, fresh and fabulous – just like Angelababy.
