Chanel Pro Lumiere Foundation

£28.42

Unless you have oily skin, there's two things you should look for when searching out an effective new foundation: good coverage that simultaneously gives a healthy-looking glow. And Chanel's Pro Lumière does both – in spades. Its smooth, creamy texture is matte enough to cover up those tell-tale first signs of ageing (lines around the peepers, anyone?) and any unsightly blemishes, while reflecting pigments work to create a luminous lustre. The moisturising formula also ensures there's no risk of clumpy dry patches forming, which, let’s be honest, can sometimes rear their ugly head. Regularly recommended on shows like 10 Years Younger, this is one foundation, if you'll excuse the pun, that's got it totally spot-on.
