Lauren Luke's acid brights

Lauren Luke: Acid brights: Lauren Luke: Acid brights Chanel
Chanel Brilliant Lip Shine in Pop, £19, 020-7493 3836 (until 13 August).
Lauren says: In the tube it looks scarily bright, but once on it’s a subdued shimmer. The slightly blue tint makes your teeth look whiter. ★★★★★

Lauren Luke: Acid brights: Lauren Luke: Acid brights Max Factor
Max Effect Trio eye shadow in Queen Bee, £6.49, widely available.
Lauren says: The colour was a bit of a letdown – as soon as you sweep it on your eyes, it starts to scatter. You would need a lot of eye primer to get this to apply with intensity. ★★

Lauren Luke: Acid brights: Lauren Luke: Acid brights Nailgirls
Nailgirls Colour in Orange #1, £10.
Lauren says: The colour is gorgeous, and you need only a coat or two for best effect. After a few days the ­colour chipped, but I just reapplied and it looked great again. ★★★★

Lauren Luke: Acid brights: Lauren Luke: Acid brights Nubar
Nubar Nail Lacquer in Hot Lime Green, £8, Beauty Shed.
Lauren says: Lovely bottle, but it did need two coats for a strong colour. Great if you want long-lasting nails – plus it dried in no time. ★★★

Lauren Luke: Acid brights: Lauren Luke: Acid brights Revlon
Revlon Matte lip colour in Strawberry Suede, £7.29, 0800 085 2716.
Lauren says: Impressive colour – everyone asked what I had on my lips – and two coffees later, it was still visible. Great summer shade. ★★★★

Lauren Luke: Acid brights: Lauren Luke: Acid brights Urban Decay
Urban Decay eyeshadow in Peace, £12, House of Fraser.
Lauren says: I love this compact – it has got a little mirror and a pop button for easy opening. You get a lot of eye shadow for your money, and the intensity is stunning. ★★★★★
