One of the consistent tips that we hear from make-up artists is to swerve heavy make-up foundations as you age because they simply ‘cake’ in creases and alert others to the fact you’re not in your first job anymore. ‘Good, natural-looking skin starts with a good skincare routine to cleanse, moisturise and hydrate,’ explains Sarah Cherry, make-up pro whose many credits include The Crown. ‘I love a sheer tinted moisturiser to even out the skin tone, add luminosity and radiance, used with concealer on the areas that need some extra coverage and to diminish dark circles and blemishes.’ For a fresh, glowing complexion three of our favourites are Laura Mercier’s Tinted Moisturiser, £34, cultbeauty.co.uk, Chantecaille Just Skin, £64, spacenk.com and NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser, £30, lookfantastic.com. Also worth investing in are some fabulous skin primers and CC creams. These are to be worn on their own or under make-up to smooth and even skin tone as well as to reduce redness. We love REN’s Perfect Canvas, £50, lookfantastic.com and Erborian Korean CC cream, £31.60 amazon.co.uk – this stuff works miracles!
