Lauren Luke's beauty buys: Green

Lauren Luke goes green: Giorgio Armani Maestro Eyeshadow
Giorgio Armani Maestro Eyeshadow Mono No13
£18, from Selfridges.
Lauren says: Looks cute and is handy for the handbag, but average for the price. A beautiful shade, but not that intense once applied. Best with a base underneath. ★★★

Lauren Luke goes green: Green make-up, Gosh nail lacquer
Gosh nail lacquer in metallic green
£4.89, from Superdrug.
Lauren says: I really like this brand – it’s such a brilliant colour range and ­affordable – but this is a let-down. A gorgeous colour, but it comes off too easily. You need clear polish on top to make this worthwhile. ★★

Lauren Luke goes green: Green make-up, Lancôme Hypnose Drama
Lancôme Hypnose Drama in pop ­petrol £19.50.
Lauren says: I love the design – a great brush with soft bristles. Once on, it stays put and wears well. ★★★★

Lauren Luke goes green: Green make-up, MAC eye kohl
MAC eye kohl in minted £12.
Lauren says: Easy-to-sharpen pencil – it’s so creamy, yet keeps its form. Gorgeous colour and the emerald shade with gold shimmer is bang on trend. You are never let down by Mac. ★★★★★

Lauren Luke goes green: Green make-up, Nars eyeshadow
Nars eyeshadow duo in wicked £23.
Lauren says: I love this – use the lighter shade to highlight. Pretty packaging and a useful mirror. Pricey, but worth it. ★★★★

Lauren Luke goes green: Green make-up, Ruby & Millie eye powder pen
Ruby & Millie eye powder pen in green
£11.50, from Boots.
Lauren says: Great idea – a pen-shaped applicator with two shades of green to blend and highlight – but in reality you need to put a lot on to build up a decent colour. ★★★
