Glowing For Gold
Dull skin in need of a lightbulb moment" Sali Hughes gives you the skinny on three new light-reflecting foundation launches
Laura Mercier Candleglow Soft Luminous Foundation, £35, out February, Space NK
WHAT: The new, light reflecting base from foundation specialist Mercier. Designed to add flattering, soft glow to the skin.
PROS: Characteristically good, inclusive, colour range (24 shades), high SPF, noticeable glow minus glitter (this is much less shimmery than her Illuminating Tinted Moisturiser which, though I personally love it, can highlight uneven skin texture in acne and rosacea sufferers), natural-looking medium coverage for those who don?t like to feel too ?made up?, pump dispenser, flattering finish, inclusion of antioxidants, good blendability, feels lightweight on the skin, unlikely to aggravate sensitive types. CONS: Glass bottle may prove impractical for frequent travellers and gym goers, product needs layering for what I?d class as a medium coverage, dry skins may feel they need more moisture.
TIP: Apply with a brush. I loved how it looked when I took care over its application, but this is not a ?slap on and go? formula. I found it too easily absorbed by sponges (a common problem).
SUITABLE FOR: All skin types, all ethnicities – though the very dry may crave a little more moisture. Especially good on dull skins and those who want more coverage than a tinted moisturiser, but less than a full base. Would also work well as a first foundatio...
