Radiance Reboot Choose the right troubleshooting foundation for your skin and you’ll be good to glow.

You don’t need a lot of sun to look great this summer. A clever foundation is the best way to get your glow on,

Once pigmentation and wrinkles start setting in, the last thing you should do is hide imperfections under a thick layer of make-up. But your skin may need more coverage than a tinted moisturiser or BB cream to alter the way light bounces off it and blurs the fine lines. Some foundations not only create the illusion of younger and more radiant skin, they also contain highperformance ingredients for longerlasting results. Here are some of the best:

1 Chanel Sublimage Le Teint Ultimate Radiance-Generating Cream Foundation ($180)

With party season approaching, this creamy foundation containing diamond powder is a luxurious way to add luminosity. Only a small dab is required to cover the whole face. Intense Vanilla planifolia water and other ingredients provide 12-hour hydration and lasting radiance. A treat from the packaging to the velvety finish. In eight shades.

2 Bourjois Healthy Mix AntiFatigue Foundation ($29)

The original Healthy Mix foundation built up a formidable reputation for its ability to revitalise tired, dull skin. But not content to rest on its laurels, Bourjois has reformulated its famed complexion booster to blur the signs of fatigue and tone down redness. Vitamins C, E and B5 in the mix help the skin to look healthier and more luminous. Choose your tone from six shades.

3 Giorgio Armani Power Fabric Longwear High Cover Foundation ($98)

It’s difficult to conceal imperfections or lines with a barely-there foundation, but full-coverage foundations shouldn’t resemble a mask. Inspired by Armani’s popular Maestro Fusion Makeup, this is a lightweight formula that delivers long-lasting glow and an SPF25 filter. The texture spreads evenly and ‘melts’ into the skin, giving it a second-skin finish. Available in 15 shades.

4 Estée Lauder Perfectionist Serum Compact Makeup ($80)

Packed with Estée Lauder’s best-selling Perfectionist Serum, this light yet lasting make-up with SPF15 adds another layer of anti-ageing ingredients. Opticalillusion technology and a nourishing moisture complex also help to instantly brighten and smooth. Use sparingly for a natural glow, or build to a medium coverage for a more polished look. Choose from eight shades.

5 Nude by Nature Flawless Liquid Foundation ($40)

Healthy and glamorous is the mantra of Australia’s number-one mineral make-up brand. Nude by Nature has long blazed a trail in combining natural ingredients with advanced product performance and this eco-friendly base ticks all the boxes. The oil- and fragrance-free formula contains natural ingredients for soft focus, skin softening and antioxidant benefits. Long-wearing and suitable for sensitive skin, in 10 shades.

6 Rimmel London Wake Me Up Anti-Fatigue Foundation ($20)

For days when urgent action is called for, this light, buildable foundation contains radiance pearls to instantly brighten. Vitamin C helps to improve skin tone for longer-term benefits, and the creamy texture smooths to a poreless finish. In six shades, each with SPF20. If you need some extra help in the eye area, there’s a complementary Wake Me Up Anti-Fatigue Concealer ($15).
