PRIME TIME

Make-up artists are always at pains to explain

to me the importance of using a primer. I know, you’re very busy and you could really do without the extra step, but with the six new Laura Mercier multi-tasking primers, €41.50 each (for protecting, perfecting, illuminating, hydrating, pore-blurring and smoothing), you save time, thanks to skincare benefits

and longer-lasting make-up.
