Best makeup

Fabulous formulations and covetable colours make these our absolute must-haves for effortless beauty 

This legendary skin-brightening, concealing miracle pen still deserves a place in every make-up bag. Use it to minimize nose-to-mouth lines, blur fine lines around the eyes and on the forehead and to disguise shadows.

No make-up bag should be without a primer, and Laura Mercier\'s is the best. Applied before foundation, it helps protect skin with vitamins A, C and E and creates a layer that smooths and evens skin tone. If kept in the fridge, the cooling effect helps reduce puffiness.
