Think of a primer as both the last step of your skincare regime (post-SPF) and first step of make-up. Colour correcting primers – such as Decorté’s – work like magic to unify skin texture and provide a hydrated, smooth base for make-up. You may even find you don’t need to follow with extra coverage.

Fed up of concealer formulas settling in fine lines or sliding off before sunset? Try a serum concealer. Not only are they formulated with good-for-skin ingredients, the high-coverage, creamy finish that’s glowy but not oily makes it a firm favourite for all skin types. Bobbi Brown’s is brilliant under eyes and around the nose with its handy wand.

Powders have come a long way in recent years. Take By Terry’s Hyaluronic Hydra Powder, which hydrates at the same time as it zaps oil, sets make-up and blurs – just like an Instagram filter (sounds counterintuitive, works like a dream). The hyaluronic microspheres absorb moisture from the air to blur any lines or creases.
