At the spring/summer shows, the biggest make-up trend on the catwalks was “no make-up.” As in – none! Don’t wear it. As in (if you are me) – look like you’ve just woken up. Look shocking. Thanks, guys. The models at Marc Jacobs walked bare-faced (just a bit of moisturiser) – I won’t be. But I will be wearing some of this season’s new almost-there bases. There are a few worth mentioning – Maybelline’s Dream Flawless Nude (£8.99, maybelline.com) is excellent value, for instance – but the one that I love is BareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream (£26, bareminerals.co.uk), launching in April (the finish is so light and radiant it’s worth the wait). There are also some great nude colour collections: see Bobbi Brown, NARS and Topshop, whose Nude Eyes (£7, topshop.com) makes wearing “no make-up” quite lovely.
