While you may well be thinking summer has scarcely even begun, beauty has already moved on to autumn and launched a load of foundations to mark the new season. The reasoning is that women won’t stomach a full base in the heat and humidity (chance would be a fine thing), but by September are ready for something more substantial than tinted moisturiser or CC cream.
Guerlain – which in the last 18 months has quite unexpectedly become the luxury foundation maker to beat – continues its winning streak with new Lingerie de Peau Natural Perfection (£38.50), a light coverage liquid with a soft, semi-matte finish that looks just polished enough without making itself obvious. The thin, ungreasy texture means it’s suitable for all skin types, and it’s resolutely without that gloopy, silicone-heavy feel so often foisted on oily types. It blends like a dream and, for something so light, lasts very well.
