Redness is one of the most common skin concerns women face in midlife – skin thins, collagen dips and the blood vessels beneath the surface become increasingly visible. Add years of sun exposure and the effects of ‘inflammageing’ – the low-grade inflammation associated with ageing – and it's little wonder so many of us are chasing a more even-looking complexion.
The textbook fix is a green colour corrector. Sitting opposite red on the colour wheel, green pigments cancel out rosiness before foundation goes on. But celebrity makeup artist Caroline Barnes (whose client roster includes Pixie Lott, Erin Doherty and Lisa Snowdon) skips the primer step entirely. Her product of choice? One of the best self-tans for the face.
