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.

Containing argan and rosehip oil, the Urban Decay Optical Illusion Complexion Primer, $55 (28 ml), leaves a surprisingly matte finish, while keeping skin moisturised.
