Should I switch to a summer base?

YES — when the temperature rises, the foundation you have worn all winter can start to feel too heavy.

Make-up artist Caroline Barnes says: ‘opt for a lighter foundation formula with a high SPF, then spot conceal where necessary. Match the shade to your skin tone (no darker) and warm up with bronzer.’ Caroline likes Trinny London BFF Cream SPF 30 (£35, trinnylondon.com), combined with Charlotte Tilbury Magic Away Liquid Concealer (£24, John Lewis) for areas that need more coverage. or try Max Factor’s Miracle Touch Foundation (right, £13.99, Boots), now reformulated to include SPF 30 and hyaluronic acid.
