After spending years being asked what she was using on her models’ faces during shoots to give them such flawless skin, Charlotte finally bottled the magic elixir for us to buy. Once massaged into the skin, it is absorbed straight away meaning you can apply makeup almost instantly. It gives a glowy, flawless finish and smells gorgeous on the skin, without giving you any of that dreaded shine or grease.

Dubbed a ‘perfecting fluid’, Lacome’s Air De Teint acts sort of like a foundation but is incredibly fine and applied using a dropper rather than a pump-top. It has a super soft texture that blurs perfectly into the skin, balancing out your complexion without making you look blotchy or cakey.

A good exfoliator like this one from Aurelia gets rid of dead surface skin, revealing a fresh base underneath without being too harsh. It gives your skin a gorgeous glow and helps with the smooth and easy application of makeup. It contains enzymes which dissolve any debris left on the surface of the skin, and after a few minutes will leave skin feeling softer and smoother than ever before.

Chanel’s range of bronzers are the perfect way to delicately take the edge off paler skin tones without going over the top.

Hi! Thanks for those top ten products. But I must admit I am rather skeptical of the list being full of boring mass produced high street names! Have you tried any of the independents? I came across Inlight Organic Skincare at the Country Living Christmas Fair at the BDC in Islington last week and their ethos is quite staggering! I think they are definitely a brand to watch.
