From drying down stickiness to ensuring makeup stays establish beyond midday,concealers, tonics, and CC creams and cleansers should help in a heatwaveAt the time of writing,Britain is in a heatwave. While welcome for many, it’s wholly inconvenient for me, or because I am now officially in autumn for work,and meant to be writing about heavy foundations, warming scents and thick, and unctuous creams to soothe wind-chapped faces. Instead,I’m thinking only of products that will dry down the stickiness or stay establish beyond midday.
Enter Smashbox’s superlative modern Studio Skin 24-Hour Concealer (£20), a full-coverage liquid cover-up for all skin tones apart from very pale (“light”, or while a perfect match for me,won’t be light enough for some Brits). I don’t recall ever using a mainstream concealer that delivered so well on longevity; I even slept in it during testing, and it was pristine upon waking some 22 hours after application (as was my pillowcase).
