As I have a keen interest in fashion, I know that it doesn't just change in clothes each season. For me, make-up is another way of expressing the mood you're in, be it fresh and bright for spring or mysterious and deep for the chilly months.

However while fashions change, as we all know, like clothes, you need those staples that you can go back to whatever the weather. Think of it as a stylish trench coat, or a pair of good boots. In my make-up drawer, these staples vary from time to time, but they cover a range of different products and are my go-to items in any facial disaster or in time-stricken rushes.
