HURRAH, it's Friday! If like us you're planning a big night out tonight, here are some simple switch-ups to take you from work to WOW in seconds…

Add Glitter
Glow in an instant with a sweep of glitter across your lids and lashings of mascara for a super pretty look. A neutral shade like this is great as you can layer for different effects: keep it low key with a light wash of colour or load up the pigment for a style statement.

Easy Nail Art
Don't have time for a manicure? Don't worry - this easy-to-use tool is a great way to get professional styled nails in a hurry. Coat your nails in a base colour and use a contrasting shade to dip-and-dot cute shapes onto your nail.

Add Volume
This is my favourite deskside trick - I carry one of these little pots in my bag at all times. Add a small amount to your roots and gently rub it in with your fingertips for fuller hair, fuss-free!
Redken Powder Grip, £12.20, Lookfantastic.com
Go bright with your Lipstick
I generally avoid wearing a bright lip to work but love it at night – it’s the quickest way to switch up your look and make you feel ready for anything. You can't go wrong with a classic red but if you are feeling daring why not try a gorgeous pink? It’ll make your teeth look whiter, too, FYI!
Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick in Red Revolution, £6.99, Boots.com
Add a flick of liner
There are lots of tricks you can do with eyeliner. A simple line along your upper lashline and on your waterline will create a fierce smoky look - great for a girl's night out. Or for date-night try a more elegant style with a feline flick, pulling it out into a point just by the crease of your lid.
Benefit BadGal Waterproof Eyeliner, £15.50, Benefitcosmetics.co.uk
Turn on the lights
Give your skin an instant refresher with a light layer of creamy highlighter. Focus it on the cheekbones, cupids bow and your brow bone.

Contour like a pro
With lots of new products to choose from contouring has become much easier to DIY for the likes of you and me. This hero palette makes clumsy contouring a thing of the past!.
Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze & Glow, £49, Charlottetilbury.com
Do your beauty prep
To make your makeup last the whole day and into your evening, add a primer into your morning routine. This one is my favourite! TOP TIP: you can use it to soften any dry patches before going out rather than having to start all over again…
Laura Mercier Foundation Primer Oil Free, £29, Uk.spacenk.com
…and the quickest possible post-work pick-me-up
In a rush and want a pretty glow? If you have time for just one update, make it a gentle sweep of this new baked powder for rosy, flushed cheeks. Gorgeous!
Max Factor Creme Puff Blush in Lavish Mauve, £8.99, Boots.com
