bareMinerals by Bare Escentuals, from £16 at Selfridges
It's the US's no 1 selling foundation and a Selfridges bestseller. Over to Tina: 'The process sounds really fiddly at first but it's actually quite fun. You apply the foundation (available in 15 shades so there's one with your name on it) using a "swirl, tap, buff" technique with a Kabuki bristle brush. There are other powders in the range like multi-tasking concealers and all-over glows but I used the Mineral Veil to 'set' the foundation. The finish is exceptional – really natural coverage which lasts all day. And it's good for my skin too! Fantastic!'Available from: Selfridges

There are no perfumes, talc, alcohol, parabens or preservatives so they get the thumbs-up from dermatologists - result! Because they allow the skin to breathe they give a natural finish that looks less 'mask-like' than traditional waxy foundations, what's more, the mineral zinc oxide offers UV protection. Sounds too good to be true? Read on for the verdict...This feature was published in September 2008.
