airbase foundation
Product: Airbase make-up. Airbrush and Mini Compressor, £134.95, airbasemakeup.com
Why: Designed by an Oscar nominated film make-up artist, airbase is so popular with Holly Willoughby and many other celebrities because it stands up to the heat of the spotlight and has a silicone base which allows the skin to breathe. The airbrush sprays in tiny particles, much smaller than conventional make-up, so when it is applied it is less visible. This is especially good for magazines and film as the camera picks up every imperfection.
Try this if...You want a flawless long-lasting look that ensures you are always camera-ready.
