Know your skin type

Just as you tailor your skincare to your skin type, you need to do the same for the type of base you choose. Dry skin loves hydrating cream formulas such as Maybelline Dream Radiant Liquid Hydrating Foundation, £8.99, Boots, whereas oily skin needs the mattifying properties of powder. We love L’oréal Paris Infallible Foundation In A Powder, £12.99, Superdrug.
