Skin enhancers are the hardest-working new category in the make-up market. In short, they work as a skincare make-up hybrid primer and complexion illuminator, which leaves skin perfectly prepared for make-up and glowing enough to not really need any.
A rising beauty category, think of skin enhancers as a make-up skincare hybrid, or make-up that puts skin first and improves it along the way – like Kash Beauty’s brilliant Miracle Tint, €28, a lightweight SPF skin tint that evens tone and leaves skin gleaming.
Any make-up artist will tell you that good make-up doesn’t happen without good skincare and a great canvas – consider your skin enhancer to do the heavy lifting of both. Designed to work as a perfect base for make-up or to enhance a fresh-faced glow, wear skin enhancers neat on the skin, mix them in with your foundation or moisturiser or tap a little on the apple of your cheeks, nose and forehead for instant, gleaming skin.
There are so many great skin enhancers at the moment – for a true serum, make-up mix, look to Victoria Beckham’s The Cell Rejuvenating Illuminator, €88, a collaboration with Augustinus Bader for radiant skin immediately and over time. POCO’s skin-powered bronze-tinted Universal Solar Glow, €55, is a team IMAGE favourite that gives a sunkissed sheen, and Trinny London’s Miracle Halo, €38, comes in four skin illuminating shades that lift, brighten, and leave skin looking post-facial fresh.
