Powders make your skin look dry and your base patchy, crinkly and cakey. On the other hand, cream and liquid products ensure smooth application and seamless finish and prevent your base makeup from cracking and creasing. Bonus points to cream blushers for lending that youthful glow.

Your under-eye area is the first to show signs of ageing. Think fine lines, wrinkles and crow’s feet. A concealer does a great job of covering those under-eye wrinkles. Make sure you use a lightweight formula that doesn’t look heavy and settle in the fine lines, making them more prominent. To use: Moisturise and prime the under-eye area, apply a lightweight concealer and blend it with your fingers. Set it all in with a buff of loose powder.
