MAC Greasepaint stick, £13.
Lauren says: 'I love the bluish/purple colour and it can double up as eyeshadow, eyeliner or a base. It’s a cream formula, so best to use with a powder shadow on top to stop creasing.'

Givenchy Prisme Again! in Blue Happiness, £29.37.
Lauren says: 'Tiny compact with four lovely colours. Only downside is colours are tricky to blend. Apply on top of creamy base and stick to separate colours.'

Max Factor Maxfinity nail colour, £5.50.
Lauren says: 'Gorgeous-looking colour and really nice brush to apply it. You will definitely need two coats for maximum effect.'

Urban Decay Big Fatty Mascara, £8.50.
Lauren says: 'A brilliant thick brush and great texture. I love the colour, but if you want to tone it down, apply black mascara and use this on the tips of your lashes.'
