This much-talked-about staple by @CharlotteTilburyMBA is my skincare treasure in a bottle. To be used under or over make-up whenever you want to get your skin in perfect shape, all plump and glowy. Do your neckline and décolleté a favour and slather it on, you will get the softest, smoothest and most radiant skin ever.

Marc Jacobs Beauty Under(Cover) Blurring Coconut Face Primer
This feels like a very smooth primer who successfully extends the longevity of your make-up while keeping your skin hydrated thanks to the coconut, its star ingredient.
The universal shade is flattering on every skin tone without leaving any traces while blurring any imperfections and fine lines you might have.
Use it by itself to have your pores all blurred out or under your foundation to keep your make-up flawless all day long. The face primer is meant for normal to oily skin and the texture is pure bliss. Have you tried it yet?
I personally love the airbrushed skin I get every single time, pores be gone!

Delilah Take Cover Radiant Cream Concealer
Since I prefer my make-up to be as light as possible, I will always be on the lookout for the perfect lightweight yet heavy coverage concealer.

PhotodermMAX Aquafluide SPF 50+ BY Bioderma
Since I am obsessed with my skin remaining nice, spotless and as youthful as possible, I will not compromise on SPF. So for me, it’s all-day SPF 50 every day, baby! Ideally, we should reapply SPF every 2 hours but I’m sloppy and do it every 3 or so Did you know photoaging aka exposure to the sun is the no. 1 reason for ageing? Time will only tell how good you took care of your skin, if you protect it now, you will see the results of your continuous efforts later on in life.
One of my fave all-inclusive SPF creams is the Bioderma PhotodermMAX Aquafluide since it’s a wide spectrum, water-resistant, fragrance-free, light texture: all in all, a hero product for me.

It is amazing for setting eyebrows into shape and keeping them put all day (and night!) long. One of my fave products ever for eyebrows.
