Artists (especially the make-up kind) tend to favour a clean canvas for their work. The following 10 brands are responsible for making products to master the perfect make-up base with their complexion perfectors.
Burberry
Focused on radiant and healthy skin, Burberry’s Luminous Fluid is a lightweight formula designed to plump skin with a subtle shimmer. The hydrating liquid can be used on its own or layered under foundation for added glow.
Revlon
Targeting a seamless complexion and the signs of ageing all at once is Revlon’s Firming + Lifting Makeup. Full coverage is provided by the foundation, which is formulated with a Triple Lift Complex to diminish wrinkles and fine lines.
Laura Mercier
This two-toned concealer from Laura Mercier has amassed somewhat of a cult following. Covering dark circles, imperfections and discolourations, the shades can be custom-blended to create the ideal tone.
Jane iredale
One of mineral make-up’s pioneers is the jane iredale brand. This foundation is a loose powder that works as a concealer, foundation and sunscreen thanks to a concentrated pigment formula that contains SPF 20.
Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation
Another cult make-up product is Armani’s Luminous Silk. The foundation is formulated with Micro-Fil technology to make the foundation feel weightless, and able to be built upon for the coverage required.
Shu Uemura
This Shu Uemura liquid foundation offers consumers a full-coverage glow finish. Readily buildable, the formula is enriched with a bounty of natural ingredients including macadamia seed oil to hydrate as well as boost luminosity.
Chi Chi 3
A powerhouse for under the eyes, Chi Chi’s Concealer hides dark circles, shadows and signs of fatigue. The product contains an active natural complex that also helps to reduce the appearance of bags, puffiness and circles with regular use.
Nude by Nature Soft Focus Illuminator
Endowing a luminous sheen to those without a natural glow is Nude by Nature’s liquid illuminator. Use under foundation for a boosted complexion, or on top to subtly highlight the face.
glō.minerals
A foundation with a semi-dewy finish, this complexion tweaker contains light-diffusing diamond powder and ultra-fine minerals to protect the skin it covers. Vitamins A, C, E and SPF 15 are also incorporated into the formula.
Models Prefer All-In-One Healthy Glow BB Cream
This BB Cream from Models Prefer is an easy way to achieve the ‘no make-up’ make-up look. The lightweight balm blends evenly, and avoids oils, parabens, fragrance and D5 from its ingredients list.
