The stick
Revlon Colorstay Life-proof Foundation Stick, $32.
Perfect for the time-poor, just swipe on, blend with fingers and go. Solid wind-up formulations mean you can easily use eye or cheek products for smoky eye and a cheeky flush, while foundation sticks are useful for adding a little coverage where you need it. Clinique Chubby Stick Cheek Colour Balm, $57.
Max Factor Velvet Mattes Lipstick in Matte Marilyn Nude, $25.99.

Woman’s Day
Margot Robbie’s look for the Screen Actors Guild Awards featured on-trend dark roots in her blonde locks, as well as a velvety nude lip. With a soft but shine-free finish, velvet-finish products offer clever micro-doses of hydration, so they last well, feel weightless and comfortable, and don’t dry out like traditional matte formulations. Plus, the depth of colour is incredible. Benefit Hello Happy Velvet Powder Foundation, $56.
