Best Light Lift

Max Factor Radiant Lift Foundation SPF 30, €19.99, available nationwide

This is a foundation that aims itself at slightly older skin, offering long wear without sacrificing hydration. The finish is glowy, thanks to light-diffusing particles, and there is hyaluronic acid to physically, but temporarily, plump out the skin. And not forgetting some SPF, to hold back the hyper-pigmentation. The overall result is a really comfortable, medium-coverage base. “This foundation is long-lasting,” said a panellist. “But it is more velvety than the usual chalky effect.”
