Matte flawless complexions are big beauty news this season and if you have combination skin one of the best ways to achieve this look is with mineral make- up. Mineral foundations are designed to work with the skin to target where it needs coverage most. They also adapt to the skin’s need throughout the day which means you’ll find that touching up the t-zone midday becomes a thing of the past. Try a powder foundation that also has hydrating qualities to maintain a dewy natural feel. ELLE recommends Clinique’s new Superbalanced Powder Make-up which has a naturally flawless look and is easy to apply.
