GOOD makeup starts with the perfect base – head into autumn with a fresh face.
New on counter is Bare Minerals Blemish Ready Foundation, £26. Use it to clear spot-prone skin while offering good coverage in a finish that doesn't look dry or powdery.
Ingredients reduce the appearance of facial redness as well as pores, while reducing oil and shine at the same time. A winner if you're looking for creamy lightweight coverage.
The award-winning CID Cosmetics i-Prime Foundation Primer, £28.50 from John Lewis, creates a light, feature-weight barrier between the skin and makeup, which means foundation glides on and looks super sleek. Skin looks glowing and radiant.
The professionals' favourite, use Mac Studio Finish Concealer SPF35, £15.50, for smooth, long-wearing coverage of blemishes and dark circles. Apply with a brush or dab on with a clean finger.
Amazing Concealer, £19.50 from Marks & Spencer, is a high performance product no makeup bag should be without.
Dot, blend and repeat to build up. It comes in a choice of 10 shades to match skintone.
Use it to cover dark circles, broken capillaries and spots or even rosacea and sun damage.
Diego Dalla Palma Universal Make-Up Base, £23 from Marks & Spencer, is a silky primer that evens out skintone and helps foundation stay in place for longer.
Handy for darker autumn and winter days, it contains a brightener so can be used as a highlighter.
