Whether you've had a fight with your other half, had a run-in with a colleague or just watched that bit in Love Actually when Emma Thompson finds out her husband is cheating on her, there are times when you're likely to cry. But, particularly if you're at work, you probably don't want people to know you've been sobbing in the bathroom for half an hour during your lunchbreak.

Product: make-up wipes (for when you're on the go and can't get to a sink to wash your face), cold spoons, a decent concealer for getting rid of dark circles - Amazing Cosmetics Concealer is brilliant for coverage (Sali Hughes even recommends it for touch-ups), facial spray to cool down any redness such as Avene's Eau Thermale,

Method: First get rid of any excess make-up smudges, then take your cold spoons and place them over your eyes. If your face is still red, spray with Avene's Eau Thermale. Once patted dry, dot a tiny bit of your concealer below your eyes to cover any redness or remaining puffiness and then set with the facial spray.
