Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Ultra-Longwear Foundation, €48

“This has full coverage, but it’s not cakey and lasts all day. It has more of a matte finish, so those with oilier skin will love it. I am obsessed with it.“
– Chloe Boucher

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Breathable Foundation, €11.50

 “The first light layer is as fabulous as the second. It’s semi-matte and more versatile for different skin types.”
– Chloe Boucher

Vichy Dermablend Corrective Fluid Foundation, €21.50

“This has an SPF, which is great. I’m not a coverage girl, but my clients can be, and this makes the skin super-perfected.”
– Judy Wong

Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Foundation Stick, €30

“This is amazing for contouring and for full coverage.”
– Christine Lucignano

Yves Saint Laurent All Hours Foundation, €42

“This is my favourite. Some people don’t like it, as it’s kind of matte, but I like to add a highlight, and I’m oily skinned. This is great for brides because it has amazing staying power.”
– Tara Anderson

Giorgio Armani To Go Cushion Foundation, €69

“As far as cushion foundations go, it’s the most luxe one so far.”
– Christine Lucignano

Bobbi Brown Skin Long-Wear Weightless Foundation, €38

“I thought this would be very natural, but it’s full coverage. It gives a gorgeous dewy nish that isn’t drying. It has amazing skincare bene ts, goes great with my tan, and you can build it really nicely.”
– Chloe Boucher
