The best skin illuminators
A fresh-faced look to help you cope with the party season
Brighten up: allow your skin to shine |
Looking in the mirror when you get past the age of 30 often makes you
think about time. How it leaves its mark on your worried old face, and
how little of it you have before you bolt out the door. This is the
point when multitasking skin-illuminator and perfecting products come
into their own. Some, such as Per-fékt Skin Perfection Gel (£49.50, houseoffraser.co.uk),
act like foundation and primer, giving presentable skin in one panicked
application. Others give you a fresh-faced look, like you but five
years ago. For this effect, try Nars Optimum Brightening Concentrate (£48, narscosmetics.co.uk). No 7's Lift & Luminate Day & Night Serum (£24, boots.com)
makes you look glowy after several weeks of application. Yes, this
means delayed gratification, but it makes that first glance in the
mirror each morning less alarming. And that's worth taking the time
for.
