Fresh face forward: Ditch dated make-up for these three radiance boosters

After you hit your thirties, thick foundation and bold eyeshadow stop looking ice cool and can very quickly veer into hot mess territory. The key to looking fresh without employing a live-in make-up artist lies in choosing an arsenal of clever products that enhance your skin tone and features rather than masking them. Pop these three beauties in your make-up bag in place of your regular products and you'll see an instant improvement. Bobbi Brown CC Cream SPF 35 A colour-correcting beauty balm and treatment in one, this tube of genius contains brightening botanicals to help even out skin tone and lashings of SPF to prevent further sun damage. It’s available in five skin-specific shades, including new additions Blush Nude and Rich Nude. €37, Arnotts. Charlotte Tilbury Beach Lip Stick Part of her excellent Easy Make-up in a Minute range, Charlotte Tilbury’s Beach Lip Stick in ‘Moonbeach’ can be dabbed onto lips and slicked onto cheeks for a dewy, natural and youthful look. These sticks contain Ceramidone, which plumps the skin and prevents the colour from sitting in pores, lines or scars. It really is idiot-proof so if you’re new to cream blush, this one’s for you. €40, Brown Thomas. Payot Eclat Du Regard If you’ve been burning the candle at both ends, dark circles under the eyes are a dead giveaway. Blend them away with Payot’s handy Eclat Du Regard pen, a powerful formula containing antioxidant Vitamin E and moisturising Glycol. Its built-in soft-focus pigmented powder reflects light and illuminates shadows. €24, from these stockists. Stow your new stash in this gorgeous geo-print make-up bag, €17, River Island.
