Makeup

 

Your GP wouldn’t take kindly to being asked for makeup tips. But don’t despair - there are doctors on call to give you a prescription for looking fabulous.

Prime your complexion with the hot new product from Dr Nicholas Perricone MD. Perfect for a light base now the weather is getting warmer, his No Foundation Foundation, £41 (www.perriconemd.co.uk) is already viewed as a cult product by the beauty industry. Not only does it have an SPF30, but it’s also a multi-purpose base that provides natural translucent coverage, corrects skin undertones, instantly smoothes fine lines and boosts skin's natural moisture throughout the day. You’ll never look back.

Dr. Hauschka‘s makeup isn’t as well known as his skincare, but it’s getting great reviews from the beauty press. It aims to keep skin nourished and protected, and its rich colours are derived from natural mineral pigments and petal waxes that blend effortlessly. Emphasise eyes with Pearl Anthracite Volume Mascara, £18.37 (www.drhauschka.co.uk) – a dark stone-coloured mascara that gives lashes a dramatic, generous curve without clumping.

Don’t forget a prescription for your lips. Stuart Kaplan MD is a top dermatologist in Beverly Hills and has created a colour lip treatment with a difference. LIP 20 by KaplanMD, £22.50 (www.cultbeauty.co.uk) is designed to moisturise, contour and protect pouts with a built-in SPF20. Enriched with anti-ageing marine collagen, peptides and antioxidants, this tinted balm is available in five shades and is designed to fill out lines and plump – but unlike most plumper’s, it won’t irritate and sting.
