Laura Mercier Pure Canvas Primer Protecting Broad Spectrum, €41.50, brownthomas.com

Laura Mercier recently added to the brand’s primer offering, with everything from a universal base to ones that offer extra radiance, hydration or, in this case, broad-spectrum sun protection. Silicone-free, it has a gel-cream texture and a slight dewiness, with no white-mask effect, either. “I love that this has full-whack sunscreen, so I don’t have to apply another layer over make-up,” said a panellist. “And it gives a very smooth surface for any make-up.”
