So, I’m going through the sample cards I ordered – they’re not my best swatches but will give you a good guideline across this particular spectrum of shades (there are more cards). I’m usually pretty good at judging my shade, but I was way off on several occasions. However, what I was really struck by is how light the foundation shades go.

This is a screen grab of the shade that I eventually settled on that’s right for me – I did a video on Instagram HERE if you want to see a ‘live’ try on.

How absolutely sensible! Lisa Eldridge Seamless Skin Foundation Swatches think I had a spooky psychic moment because I thought Lisa already had a foundation – in fact I even checked in with her team a couple of months ago with a request to review it and yet it hasn’t even fully launched still and there was no advance publicity! What Lisa has done with her new Seamless Skin Foundation is release sample cards that you can order in advance of the proper Seamless Skin Foundation so that when it does release, you know exactly what shade to get. Right now I also really like No.7 Sheer Temptation Lipstick in Attract, £10, which is warm apricot nude or the Chanel Rouge Coco Shine, £23. LE I’m not a big gloss fan on myself, but if I’m going for a more natural look then I like Clarins' Colour Quench Lip Balm, £15 (below) which is more of a treatment balm than a gloss.

GTG Which lip products do you love on yourself? Suqqu is available exclusively at Selfridges. I tend to use more natural shades on myself that make my eye colour pop.įor brows, I love all Suqqu products – I use the Balancing Eyebrow Powder on the high point of the brows to fill in and add a bit of length. I love eyeshadow – it’s amazing what a little bit can do in the right place. Ardell are some of my favourite ones as they have an invisible join. If I was going out I would use a few fake lashes at the corner of my eyes. I think they are as good as any of the expensive ones. If I did just one thing make-up wise, then this would be it. LE: I am obsessed with curling my eyelashes and applying mascara. GTG: What are your favourite eye products? I also love Chanel’s Les Tissages de Chanel Powder Blush in Tweed Rose, £32 which can look really magical. LE: If I’m going out I use a combination of Becca Shimmering skin Perfector in White Pearl, £33 and a cream blush like Fusion Beauty Sculpting Cream Blush which makes skin look a million dollars, and people always comment. GTG: How do you add radiance to your skin? I apply it in the centre of my forehead, nose and chin, but not my cheeks as that stops radiance.

I like Mac Blot Powder, £17.50,, and No.7 Perfect Light Pressed Powder, £11. In the summer I take out a little pressed powder with me to take away shine. I also always use Clinique’s Airbrush Concealer, £16 under my eyes as it’s light reflective and light. Both give good coverage and even out the skin yet are invisible too.įor hiding blemishes I love Laura Mercier’s Secret Camouflage Concealer, £26 which is light and dry and stays put. LE: I flit between two foundations – Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation, £9.99, which is great and Chanel’s Vitalumiere Acqua Ultra-Light Skin perfecting make-up, £31, both , which has a velvety matt finish and is very light. GTG: How do you create a flawless base on yourself? I often put them on when I’m putting my son to bed as there’s never any other time! GTG: You deal with models' and actresses' skin on a daily basis – what are the golden rules of skin care that you've learnt over the years? I like Dermalogica Gentle Cream Exfoliant, £26.70, which contains Salicylic Acid and natural fruit enzymes. My favourite exfoliating products are from Dr Brandt, Alpha H, Skinceuticals and Dermalogica. I need a lazy, non-abrasive exfoliating ingredient such as lactic acid. I use loads of face masks with exfoliating ingredients but never scrubs – if I scrub I get spotty. In the evening I might use a lotion cleanser that involves me massaging it into the skin like Liz Earle's Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser, £13.75.

In the morning I like a face wash to freshen up my skin such as the Nuxe Reve de Miel Cleanser, £12, or Dr. GTG: Which skincare products do you use daily?
