Race you there!

This is the perfect time of year to invest in a lighter foundation — and a new version of the classic Lancome Teint idole Ultra Wear, which goes on sale tomorrow, could be the one you are looking for. Teint idole Ultra Wear Nude (£33.50, lancome.co.uk) has a secondskin finish and is designed to accentuate the good points of your skin while disguising any blemishes, fine lines or dark areas. This foundation has a matte look, keeping shine to a minimum, so it never looks — or feels — caked on.
