Ready to put a full face back on? We may have the perfect foundation for you

A tinted moisturiser is the buy least likely to cause a tragic shade mismatch but we have some great foundation recommendations here too

How do you feel about wearing foundation these days? After almost two years of SPF, mascara, and my mask, I was happy to check out this spring’s full-face makeup. Charlotte Tilbury, Ireland’s favourite premium makeup brand of 2021, was first out of the gate with her Charlotte’s Beautiful Skin Foundation, €40 at brownthomas.com, in January. The Instagram response alone suggests she’ll keep her lead at a canter for some time, but there’s plenty of choice hitting makeup counters and e-comm stores this season. Do you dare make a change when you still can’t do a proper on-skin shade match in the shops?
