Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation Packed with vitamins this is like a fruit smoothie for your skin. The gel-like texture makes a nice change from the usual foundation formulas as it feels fresher and not as heavy as some bases. Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation gives good coverage, which lasts for 16 hours and removes any sign of tiredness, so goodbye dull, crumpled, sleep-deprived skin!

Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus All-Smooth Makeup SPF15 Clinique's Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle & UV Damage Corrector was one of last year's major skin care innovations. In tests it showed a 63 percent reduction of lines, wrinkles and sun damage compared to 12 weeks of laser treatment. In other words your skin is improved as much as a course of laser treatments but without the redness, downtime or cost. Clinique have now combined the formula behind those results and created Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus All-Smooth Makeup foundation, which not only treats the skin but also boosts natural collagen production, evens out your complexion and leaves your skin looking flawless. Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus All-Smooth Makeup SPF15, £27 |

Max Factor Ageless Elixir 2-in-1 Foundation and Serum Serums are big news in beauty because they hold skin-loving ingredients, such as antioxidents, and are more easily absorbed by the skin. So combining a rich, anti-ageing serum with a flawless foundation makes perfect sense, and what Max Factor has done with its latest foundation. We’re impressed – and we love the way the light-reflecting spheres hide every fine line and wrinkle. Max Factor Ageless Elixir 2-in-1 Foundation and Serum, £13 |

To combat this Revlon has combined a host of known anti-ageing and skin-protective ingredients, such as a UV filter (SPF 20), vitamin E and B3, with a high-tech foundation formula for expert coverage and skin health. Revlon Age Defying DNA Advantage Cream Makeup, £13.99 |
