When it comes to makeup, aceing your base is key. It provides the perfect, ahem, foundation for the rest of your look, creating a glowing canvas that allows the rest of your features to shine (perhaps literally, if that’s your thing). But it can also be a difficult thing to get right, which is why many of us stick to the same products we know and trust day in and day out.
While knowing your skin is a positive thing, there are also a whole lot of amazing new base products launching every month for you to discover. So if you’re interested in updating your routine with a few new launches without the risk, here are some of GRAZIA‘s recent favourites – glowing results guaranteed.
Hourglass Ambient Soft Glow Foundation, $87 SHOP NOW
Hourglass’ highly anticipated new foundation doesn’t disappoint. Taking inspiration from the brand’s iconic Ambient Lighting collection, the formula provides a soft-focus glow to the skin, while still offering enough coverage to blur blemishes and imperfections.
Fenty Beauty Eaze Drop’Lit All-Over Glow Illuminator, $52 SHOP NOW
This multi-purpose glow enhancer is the perfect companion for your makeup. Wear the lightweight formula alone for sheer radiance, or add a few drops to your foundation of choice for added hydration and a brightening boost of shimmer. It also works as a primer to help your makeup stay in place on all day.
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Brightening Flawless Finish Powder Refillable, $69 SHOP NOW
Give the delicate skin under your eyes a boost of brightness with this micro-powder that reflects the light for a smoother, more lifted look – the ultimate face-saver after a few too many champagnes and too few hours of beauty sleep.
YSL Beauty all hours liquid foundation, $95 SHOP NOW
This much-loved foundation has had an upgrade, with a whole lot of skin-loving ingredients infused into the long-wearing formula. It’s full coverage but feels weightless and works to hydrate the skin as it wears, so you’ll never have to worry about your base looking cake-y.
Mecca max Life Proof Camo Colour Corrector, $22 SHOP NOW
Nix redness, dullness and any number of skin woes with this smoothing corrector, designed to counteract uneven tones in the skin. Apply it under your foundation or concealer and watch your dark circles and blemishes all but disappear.
Summer Fridays Sheer Skin Tint, $63 SHOP NOW
This much-hyped ultra-light skin tint has finally landed on our shores, just in time for summer. The sheer-light coverage provides the perfect subdued radiance for everyday wear, but can also be built up on days your skin needs a little more support.
Too Faced Born This Way Ethereal Setting Powder Reform, $57 SHOP NOW
Lock in your makeup to last all night with this silky setting powder. The translucent formula helps to reduce excess oil (very important during the summer!) while also working to blend and blur for a softly filtered effect.
