ést.lab Estetica Sunshield Aqua SPF50, $86 (50 ml), has a lightweight, watery formula that hydrates while protecting skin against harmful UV rays. Powerful antioxidants defend against free radical damage to delay visible signs of ageing.
Using a two-prong approach to whitening, Shiseido White Lucent All Day Brightener N SPF50+ PA++++, $85 (50 ml), increases the skin’s resistance against melanin production and diminishes existing pigmentation.
When you’re a city dweller, pollution plays a huge part in skin ageing. The Sisley Phyto-Blanc Brightening Daily Defense Fluid SPF 50 PA++++, $370 (50 ml), treats pigmentation and protects against environmental aggressors and sun damage.
Prime Suspects
Foundation primers are the unsung heroes of base makeup – often forgotten or skipped in lieu of long-lasting foundation. A good primer can make or break a foundation and you can even out the skin tone, smooth pores, add glow or hydrate skin depending on your skin’s needs.
RADIANCE
Formulated with red pearl pigments, the Kanebo Glow Primer, $58 (30 ml), creates a healthy, luminous glow and allows foundation to adhere seamlessly.
SMOOTHING
Larger pores are instantly filled with the BECCA EverMatte Poreless Priming Perfector, $56 (40 ml). Skin remains shinefree for much longer, even if you have an oily complexion.
HYDRATING
Containing argan and rosehip oil, the Urban Decay Optical Illusion Complexion Primer, $55 (28 ml), leaves a surprisingly matte finish, while keeping skin moisturised.
COLOUR CORRECTION
Nix signs of fatigue with the Hourglass Ambient Light Correcting Primer in Mood Light, $69 (30 ml). Its light pink tone corrects blue and green hues, brightening dark eye circles to help you look more awake.
