You little beauty

LETTER of the week! BEST BUY! 46 YOU LITTLE BEAUTY LOOK GREAT TODAY Q Shampoo bars seem to be all the rage, but how do I use them? Michelle Briant, 53 A Highly concentrated, shampoo bars not only help you cut down on packaging (and are brilliant for travelling light!) but will last longer than your average shampoo, as well. The way you apply them is slightly diff erent to using a normal, liquid shampoo –either rub the bar between your hands or smooth it over your hair to create a lather, before massaging this into your hair and scalp. Bars can take longer to wash out than normal shampoo and won’t lather as much so, for that squeaky-clean feeling, you might want to lather and wash twice. Try Ethique Mintasy Solid Shampoo for Normal to Dry Hair, with real peppermint oil, £12.99, Holland & Barrett. Or Rescue My Hair Smooth Shampoo Bar, with its blend of five oils to help revitalise hair and scalp, £13.95, beautybay.com –and, if you want to swap conditioner, too, Jungle Solid Conditioner, £7, Lush, has nourishing oils that help to tame your mane. Neutrogena Clear & Soothe Clay Mask, £5.99, Boots Working like a magnet, this clay-based mask draws dirt and grime out of your pores for a clearer complexion. But, thanks to the addition of calming turmeric, it won’t dry out your skin, but leave it soft and comfortable. Barry M Grape Nail Shot Nail & Cuticle Oil, £3.99, Superdrug Cold weather can wreak havoc on your nails, with thirsty cuticles leading to splitting and breaking. This oil is best applied once a day –shake to mix the oil layers, before massaging in. L’Oreal Elvive Dream Lengths Frizz Killer Serum, £8, Boots Banish frizz and flyaways around the hairline. Heat resistant up to 230C, apply this serum to damp hair before blowdrying or use sparingly on dry hair for touch-ups between washes. Revlon Ultra HD Vinyl Lip Polish in Act Natural, £8.99, Superdrug Combining the longlasting colour of a liquid lipstick with the ultra-shiny finish of a gloss, this is a dream to apply –giving full colour coverage in just one slick. Team this nude shade with a bold look for your eyes. TRIED AND TESTED No7 Custom Blend Highlighting Drops in White Gold, £13.50, Boots Not strictly a primer, but brilliant for giving winter skin a much-needed glow. Apply after your moisturiser and just before your foundation. Rimmel London Matte Primer, £7.99, Superdrug Surprisingly light, this leaves skin velvety soft, while keeping excess oil at bay. Great for helping your foundation stay put for longer.

NYX Bare With Me Radiant Perfecting Primer, £12, Asos Super soothing, thanks to hempderived cannabis sativa seed oil, this creates a smooth, soft-focus base for make-up. Acting Beauty Editor Jess Beech shares her favourites 3 OF THE BEST PRIMERS TOP TIP Don’t forget to use your SPF during the winter months –UV rays can penetrate through cloud. Got a beauty question?
