DOUBLE DUTY
Revlon ColorStay 2-in-1 Compact Makeup + Concealer, $41.95.
A handy purse friendly compact, this cream foundation comes perfectly matched with a concealer too. Described as a demi matte finish and thicker coverage, the formula is sweat resistant and designed to last all day. Available in nine shades.

PERFECT MATCH
Max Factor Miracle Match Foundation, $30.99
If you struggle to match your skin tone perfectly, give this new foundation a go. The formula contains translucent micas for medium coverage, reduced powders to adapt to skin tone, light-reflecting particles to blur unevenness and glycerin, vitamin E and vitamin B to nourish skin. With six adaptable shades to choose from, it takes out the guessing.

NATURAL BEAUTY
NARS Velvet Matte Skin Tint, $70
As well as a natural, matte coverage for all skin types, this formula provides skincare benefits too. Vitamins C, E and SPF30 protect against free-radical damage, while transparent blurring powders help to blur imperfections, and smooth the look of pores and fine lines.

ULTIMATE RADIANCE
YSL Touche Éclat Le Teint, $89
Hailed as YSL’s best-selling foundation, it now offers even more coverage and staying power – 8 hours if you’re wondering – while feeling weightless on skin. The light-reflecting formula, a signature element, provides the ultimate radiance for your complexion and vitamin E protects the skin from free radicals.

OILY SKIN
Shiseido Synchro Skin Lasting Fluid Foundation, $69
If the 2pm shine is a problem for you, try a formula that’s oil free. This base eliminates shine and hides acne flare-ups, all without suffocating pores – or settling into them. With a high SPF 20 and satin matte finish, it can be a natural coverage or built to full.

SATIN FINISH
Dior Forever Teint Fluide, $86
Boasting a staying power of up to 16 hours, the light matte finish encourages use for any occasion, from a day in the office to a night on the town. Great for women on the go, with minimal touch-ups required. Best for medium to dry skin types.

SHEER COVERAGE
MAC Matchmaster Shade Intelligence Compact, $75
For a sheer coverage that reveals rather than conceals your skin’s undertone, look no further than this handy compact. Its innovative cushion compact and sheer liquid formula lends shade perfection and coverage, while letting your natural skin show through. The sheer coverage is buildable if more is needed.
