Four new ways to fake perfect-looking skin …
If You Like: A compact, carry-around foundation.
Try: Lancôme Color Ideal Hydra-Compact, $72, from department stores, is one of the most gorgeous foundations to launch this year. The super-moisturising mix goes onto the skin easily and smoothly to provide either a light and dewy look, or a more medium-coverage creamy look.
If You Like: Your foundation to last as long as possible.
Try: Revlon Age Defying Instant Firming Face Primer, $29.95, from department stores, pharmacies and variety stores. It’s half the price of most primers on the market. And comes in two variants: for normal/combination skin and for dry skin.
If You Like: Mineral makeup.
Try: Almay Pure Blends Mineral Makeup, $29.95, from Priceline. This brush-on delivery means it’s a no-brainer to apply. It also doubles well as body makeup, giving such trouble spots as the décolletage and hands a more even, youthful look.
If You Like: A clean matt finish.
Try: the Chanel Mat Lumière range, from $60, from department stores and selected pharmacies. Just add smoky eyes and nude lips and you’ve got the sixties sex-kitten look down pat.
