Our favourite foundation

Marguerite Kiely

While we love foundation must-haves like Estee Lauder's Double Wear and Armani Silk foundation, those in the know have been heaping praise on Shiseido's latest offering, Revitalessence Skin Glow Foundation SPF 30.

Priced at €55 and accessible in 30 shades on cultbeauty.co.uk, this foundation has a serum-like feel, giving your skin a smooth and buttery appearance without excessive shine. However a word of warning, it is glowly, so if you are a matt finish kind of girl, it might be best to steer clear. It's enriched with high-quality skincare ingredients. Not only does it provide great overage, but it also stays in place throughout the day. It's being hailed by beauty editors as a strong contender for the best foundation of the year, so it's well worth giving it a try.
