This is the complete antidote to last year’s trend for glass or mermaid skin. Taking its inspiration from the cute Japanese rice-cake puddings, the focus is on making your skin look plump, velvet-like and soft. Sold? Try using a primer to blur and minimise pores, such as Benefit The Porefessional Smoothing Face Primer, then smooth on a matte foundation with a velvet finish, such as Givenchy Matissime Velvet Radiant Mat Fluid Foundation SPF20.

Make-up and mask-wearing are not usually a match made in heaven, which is why we’re loving one of the big trends for this season: make-up meets face paint. We’re not talking about sporting a full cat or butterfly face (although if that makes you happy, why not?). Copy the look from the Anna Sui SS21 show and rock a small flower around your eyes – using long-wearing eyeliner so it won’t budge. Très chic and oh, so joyful while donning a mask.

Think gaming is just something your teens are obsessed with? Then think again! With many of us stuck at home because of the pandemic, all sorts of people are enjoying gaming for its wellbeing benefits, which include relaxation and everyday-stress relief. In fact, nearly a third of gamers even say it’s helped them deal with a mental-health issue. Don’t fancy Fortnite? Try Drest (see left), an interactive, luxury styling game (think Anna Wintour vibes), or Redecor, where you can vote for your fave interior designs and tap into a creative community. Yup, gaming got glam.
