Make up products hitting the shelves this month

Volumizer Mascara by Bourjois

Volumizer Mascara by Bourjois is a transformable mascara that can give lashes up to 11 times more volume, without clumps. The two-step brush adjusts the amount of make up deposited on the lashes to give two great looks to choose from; step one separates and defines lashes while adding natural volume, then by adding step two, the fully loaded brush coats lashes and boosts their impact, increasing volume by up to 11 times. The ultra-volumising formula, enriched with encapsulated ceramide, boosts lash volume immediately and over time. Rsp £10.99, Bourjois, www.bourjois.co.uk.

Benefit The POREfessional

Benefit The POREfessional is a silky smooth primer that minimises the appearance of pores. The lightweight, oil-free balm can be used both under and over make up, and for best results, should be applied before applying make up in the morning, then dabbed over the top wherever and whenever pores start to re-appear. It offers translucent coverage to suit all skin tones. Rsp £23.50, Benefit Cosmetics, www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk.
