The best new foundations for spring

As spring threatens, with its hideous white sunlight and long relentless days, our regular foundations can feel a bit... masky. So it’s time for something new. Something that camouflages without reminding you that it’s holding the whole show together, that feels light and sheer in the sun but also covers that red bit round your nose. BB creams are great for a gentle tint, but for a bit more coverage I like the new Diorskin Nude Air Serum (£33), which feels weightless but looks velvety, and has this nifty little pipette to stop you slathering on too much.
