SCENARIO:
Gorgeous boy, who you’ve been obsessing about for weeks, sends SMS asking you out for a hot date after school – ONLY AN HOUR AWAY! Your hair has not been washed in two days! There’s no time to style, let alone wash, your hair. HELP!!!

BB FIX:
Sprinkle some baby powder into the roots of your hair and then blow dry it away. It adds volume to your hair, making it look instantly gorg and also works to mop up any grease from second- or third-day hair.

SCENARIO:
This is the biggest day of your life! Yeees, your school formal, where you envisioned channelling Jessica Alba but instead have awoken to a huge zit, in the middle of your forehead! The formal is tomorrow night and you would rather miss the entire once-in-a-lifetime event than front with this beacon of a zit.

BB FIX:
Try dabbing toothpaste on the zit and leaving overnight. It’s a beauty tip that Jennifer Love Hewitt swears by.

SCENARIO:
You want to use foundation for a nice, even coverage but definitely don’t want that caked-on look.

BB FIX:
Easy. Just mix a little foundation with your moisturiser to get the look you want. The more moisturiser you use, the more sheer coverage you get. **Try Designer Brands Oil-Free Foundation (pictured) – awesome, matte coverage and just $9.99!
