WHAT'S NOW & HOW TO DO IT: THE SUPER CONCEALERS
Elsa McAlonan revealed the best concealers for lasting coverage of blemishes
This month, a host of great new concealers that promise to cover blemishes for up to 24 hours have hit beauty counters.
I love Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer, which uses light-diffusing technology to add radiance, while disguising imperfections and signs of fatigue.

RACE YOU THERE
If you’re a beauty buff, you’d have heard of U.S. skincare brand Glossier when it launched in the UK last October.
The innovative formulas and minimalist packaging had beauty editors and fans desperate to get their hands on its products.
And this month, Glossier has introduced Solution liquid exfoliator. It uses a variety of skin-friendly acids to smooth skin, ease the appearance of redness and blemishes and minimise pores. Use it like a toner after cleansing. Sweep over the face with a cotton pad, then moisturise as normal.

EMMA STONE'S HOLLYWOOD GLOW
Emma Stone (pictured) reportedly uses Nars bronzer for a subtle, natural glow
At this time of year, a few well-placed swirls of bronzer are a must to liven up dull January skin that hasn’t seen much sun in months.
It’s a trick that celebrity make-up artist Rachel Goodwin used on actress Emma Stone (pictured) at a recent awards ceremony.
She applied Nars Sun Wash Diffusing Bronzer (£29, narscosmetics.co.uk) in the shade Laguna. Its matte finish gives a subtle, natural glow.
THIS WORKS
The new Clarins SOS collection contains six different-coloured primers to suit every skin care need, from blurring acne scars to concealing dark spots. My favourite is the green version, which neutralises redness and hydrates skin, so make-up doesn’t go patchy or sit in wrinkles.

DO FACIAL ROLLERS REALLY WORK?
Yu Ling Jade Facial Roller in Medium
If you find your skin care products need an extra boost, facial massage can help — and the easiest way to do it is with a facial roller.
Beauty expert and facialist Sophie Ace says: ‘Using a facial roller tones, strengthens and lifts the facial muscles, making skin appear more taut and wrinkles less pronounced. It increases blood flow to the face, which, in turn, increases the amount of oxygen and nutrients that reach the skin.’
Try the Yu Ling Jade Facial Roller in Medium. Work separately on sections of the face and always move upwards and outwards. Start with a few minutes a night and you will see a difference in a week.

3 OF THE BEST: LIP CRAYONS
SHAMELESS INDULGENCE
Lancome Absolue Precious Cells Rose Drop Night Peeling Concentrate
We all know a good night’s sleep is key to achieving glowing, healthy skin, so why not boost the process with a product designed to work while you rest?
The new Lancome Absolue Precious Cells Rose Drop Night Peeling Concentrate (on sale Thursday) combines the effects of an exfoliating skin peel with those of a moisturising oil.
The result is a nourishing, skin-smoothing cream enriched with fruit acids and rose extracts, which helps stimulate skin renewal and soften the appearance of fine lines. Overnight, it gently removes dead cells without drying out the skin, so you’ll wake up with a refreshed and glowing complexion.
You can apply two drops straight on to the skin, or mix it with your usual night cream. It can even be used on blemishes to accelerate the healing process.
