Whether you’re 22 or 62, here are some of our best tips on foundations and concealers to keep your complexion satin-smooth
20s – keep it simple Let your youthful glow shine through. Use tinted moisturiser and then dot concealer over any blemishes – but go easy. Lancôme Vinéfit Teinté is perfect for achieving the gorgeous, glowing look and their Palette Mix Compact gives you different shades of concealer to cover blemishes or dark circles.
30s – control your coverage Use a satin-finish foundation on areas of redness or dark spots. Then blend in a few drops of moisturiser for a lighter coverage everywhere else. I love L’oréal Cashmere Perfect Soft Powder Cream Makeup while Touché oagique Illuminating Concealer will hide any darkness under your eyes.
40s – boost your skin’s moisture Choose foundation that is light, airy and won’t dry your skin out. Apply foundation five minutes after moisturising to stop it looking dry and use a light-reflecting liquid concealer to soften the skin under your eyes. Elizabeth Arden Flawless Finish Radiant ooisture Makeup SPF8 and Flawless Finish Concealer are great.
50s – softly, softly Keep your skin hydrated with Clarins True Radiance Foundation. Clarins Instant Light Perfecting Touch is brilliant for covering up dark areas like the inner and outer corners of your eyes. Spot-treat areas needing extra coverage by dabbing a little extra foundation on those places.
60s – recapture your glow Estée Lauder Futurist Age-Resisting Makeup has a silky, luminous finish that seems to make fine lines and wrinkles invisible while their Disappear Smoothing Creme Concealer works wonders on age spots. Finally, skip the powder as it can settle into fine lines and wrinkles, drawing attention to them.
