Make-up that you can stick on

1/4
Emma McCarthy10 April 2012

Ever dreamed of being able to peel the make-up off the pouting faces on the beauty pages and sticking them straight on to your own? The thing is, of course, that the catwalk models and red carpet celebrities have a cavalry of professionals on hand at any given moment.

But now their tricks can be purchased all ready to apply. Get perfect feline flicks without the need for a steady hand, and smoky eyes without layering and blending, with these ingenious transferable skills.

With most of the products out there offering designs that were previously unattainable with just a palette and brush, fiddly make-up looks have met their match. Peel off, press on and go.

INSTANT FLICKS
Go Sixties siren in a second with Dior's Limited Edition Velvet Eyes Eyeliner patches. Never one for subtlety, Dior's high-impact flicks offer a quick dab of theatrics, with a far from slapdash result - ideal for a straight-from-the-office transformation, without the morning-after panda eyes. (£47 for a set of four, selfridges.com)

NO-DRY NAILS
There's no escaping nail art, and its urban popularity has guaranteed at-home alternatives. Topshop has a great selection from Nail Rock, including cute blue gingham check, monochrome barcode stripe and metallic half-moons, as well as a Dalmatian spot print offering from in-house designer label Topshop Unique. (From £6.50, topshop.com)

PRESS-ON-POUTS
LA innovation Violent Lips behaves like a temporary tattoo and makes lipstick redundant. Available in prints and patterns ranging from glitter to polka dots and rainbow stripes, the fledgling concept counts celebrities such as Jessie J and The Saturdays as fans. (From £12, asos.com)

SIMPLE SMOULDER
The key to a perfect smokey eye is time and patience. If you have neither, grab a ColourOn Professional Eye Envy eyeshadow kit for a press-on solution. It also comes in prints including zebra, feather and leopard. (£25, theshampooshop.com)
