FOUNDATION PASS NOTES
* Warm foundation in your palms before applying it.
* Don’t blob it in patches across your face – you’ll drag your skin when you try to blend it. Instead use the palms of your hand to spread it evenly all over.
* Use your hand as a palette for extra foundation that you can dab on in places that need more coverage.
* Don’t forget to check you’ve blended the foundation across your jaw so you don’t end up with a tell-tale tide line.

2. Barbara Daly Make-up For Tesco Oil-Free Foundation in Ivory, £5.95. A barely-there base for fair skins.
3. Famous By Sue Moxley Matte Foundation in Medium, £12. Avoid a heavy matte look by applying a bare minimum – you want just a sheer veil of coverage.
4. Clinique Stay-True Makeup in Stay Sunny, £18.50. A long-lasting base that won’t slip away before lunch.
5. No7 Intelligent Balance Mousse Foundation in Almond, £11. A light-as-air texture that’s easy to blend.

COMBINATION
1. Nicola Roberts Dainty Doll Foundation in White, £12. Soaks up shine and won’t clog your pores.
2. Clarins True Radiance Foundation in Shell, £22. Enriched with gold pigments to warm a cool complexion and balance out any blueness around the eyes.
3. Benefit Play Sticks in Jump Rope, £25. Foundation sticks are perfect for concealing trouble spots and they’re great for touch ups on the go, too.
4. Urban Retreat Smart Base & Blush in Medium, £19.95. This ‘bronzing’ base matches the warmth of your skin which can appear blotchy in sunless months.
5. Tesco All About Face Foundation in Shade 4, £1.88. Blend this foundation with your fingers – your skin’s natural oils will help create a smooth finish.
6. Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse in Cocoa, £6.99, gives great coverage to problem areas.

DRY
1. Revlon Colorstay Makeup in Ivory, £11.99. Pale skin types tend to suffer with dryness and sensitivity, so this base is perfect.
2. Darphin Hydrating Foundation in Reflet 2, £30. Age spots can appear in your late 20s if your skin is dry, so buy a foundation that evens skin tone.
3. RMK Creamy Foundation in 202, £29. Choose cream and oil-based foundations to quench dry areas.
4. Elite Liquid Foundation in Beige Cuivre, £10. Moisturising liquid bases are ideal for drier skins as they nourish thirsty patches and skin won’t look flaky by the end of the day.
5. Paul & Joe Protective Dual Powder Foundation SPF20 in Spice, £24. Powders can make skin look corpse-like, but this creamy palette gives a dewy effect.
6. Marks & Spencer Cosmetox Anti-Ageing Foundation in Cocoa, £12. A nourishing texture for ageing skin, which tends to have fewer natural oils.
