We’re all encouraged to wear masks in places where it is not possible to practise social distancing — which is going to change how we wear makeup.

In the coming weeks and months as we start to have more of a social life again, it is highly likely that you will need to pop on a mask at a moment’s notice.

You certainly won’t want to get caught out like Laura Whitmore, who regretted her decision to do a red lip when she was getting a taxi over to a friend’s house.

Might have to rethink the lipstick when wearing a face mask (got an Uber to a friends rooftop party so tried to make an effort with my appearance. Won’t bother next time) #redlipstickfail

Instead, let your eyes do the work. Aim for fuller lashes, eyecatching liner and play around with colour.
