  • Laura Mercier Smooth Finish Foundation Powder €48

This dual-use powder foundation is perfect for anyone who can't decide whether they like liquid or powder formulas. Why? Because it can be applied either wet or dry depending on how much coverage you need. Simply dampen the sponge and apply for a smooth, liquid-like finish, or apply dry for a more matte finish.

  • Clarins Everlasting Compact Powder Foundation €38

The newbie of the group, this latest launch from Clarins hits counters this week. The formula is smooth, silky and easy to blend from a natural to fuller coverage finish. It delivers a comfortable matte finish that lets skin breathe and looks fresh rather than mask-like. When buffed in, it also helps to conceal and blur pores and reduce redness too.
