Lisa Eldridge, one of the best-loved and in-demand makeup artists – her celebrity clients include Oscar, Grammy and Emmy winners – is the inspiration for this week’s page. Or at least, her new mist is. Like any decent makeup artist, she understands the connection between great skincare and long-lasting makeup (healthy, hydrated skin provides a better canvas). Hence she has just launched an impressive skincare line, and the mist deserves a special mention. It includes niacinamide to tighten pores, and it also brightens, improves uneven tone and smooths. Mists with skincare benefits are the only ones worth spending money on. Caudalie’s is a longtime fave: it balances oily skins and leaves an amazing glow. As does Glow Recipe’s, which includes AHAs ( exfoliating) and hyaluronic acid (hydrating). Fancy a skin barrier-strengthening moisturiser in mist form? Dr Jart’s Ceramidin Cream Mist is excellent. For stressed skins, make a beeline for Aromatherapy Associates and SkinCeuticals’ calming options. 456 Skin’s new mist – an extension of a line developed specifically for darker skin tones – helps dissolve dead skin cells and prevent breakouts. QMS’s mist increases skin’s elasticity and absorption of Vitamin D, which boosts immunity and bone health. And both Coola and Ultra Violette mists, two of the best SPF brands, will help you top up your sun protection without ruining your makeup. Genius.
