Lauren Luke's beauty buys: Flawless skin

Prescriptives Custom Blend f­oundation, £44.
Lauren says: 'I like my foundations more creamy, but this goes on well – e­specially if applied with a dampened foundation brush or sponge.' ★ ★ Photograph: Sara Morris

Lancôme Teint Idole compact, £31.50.
Lauren says: 'A lovely, pretty compact and impressive powder; smooth, silky and creamy enough to use without foundation. Leaves a lovely shine.' ★ ★ ★ ★ Photograph: Sara Morris

L’Oréal roll on true match, £12.99.
Lauren says: 'Roll-on foundation is a great idea in theory but I found it wasn’t that even; I had to go back over patches. But it is easy to use and has a pleasant smell, too.' ★ ★ ★ Photograph: Sara Morris

Clinique superbalanced powder make-up SPF15, £27.
Lauren says: 'I’m not a fan of p­owders you tap through a filtered lid; it can get messy. But this is great for touching up on the go.' ★ ★ ★ Photograph: Sara Morris

Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation SPF15, £27.50.
Lauren says: 'Often foundations that offer coverage this good can leave skin looking waxy – this one doesn’t. Apply with sponge, brush or even fingers. It is quite runny, so be careful when applying.' ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Photograph: Sara Morris
