Foundation, from £35 by Chantecaille at Space NK
Haven’t heard of Chantecaille yet? Shame on you! For the perfect coverage, the perfect shade and the perfect texture, give this wonder foundation a try. It’s not cheap but is well worth the spend - you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.

Fluid Sheer, £28 by Giorgio Armani
For stockists call 020 7318 2486
It was top make-up artist Alex Babsky (Naomi Campbell and Jamelia’s make- up artist) who got us absolutely hooked on Sheer Fluid. This product acts as a primer and can be used to highlight and create contours for a super professional look. The easiest way to wear it is under your foundation to create a radiant finish.

The Multiple in orgasm, £27 by Nars at Space NK
You could take just this one perfect multi-purpose product on holiday in place of your entire make-up bag (if you can get your hands on it – this gem sells out as soon as it’s in stock). Blend it into cheeks, brow bones, lips and décolletage for an instant summer glow.
