Not everyone has that pocket of time in the day to devote to a perfect beauty routine, despite our best efforts.

Time is a precious commodity – it's easier to grab ten minutes in the morning and slick on a coat of your favourite lipstick when you're getting ready. 

After all, there's nothing like leaving the house feeling the best versions of ourselves.

And that's the thing about lipstick. It has the power to transform, even if you only have time to apply it and nothing else.

The right shade on the right day elevates everything, your outfit, your mood; you feel like you can take on the world.

Who else opts for a bold matte when they know they have that big presentation or meeting on the cards?

It's perfect – the matte that's bright in colour and doesn't budge. But most matte formulas have a downside, and that's the dryness factor.   

Enter Joli Rouge: Clarins’s cult, iconic moisturising lipstick which has evolved for 2018 into a matte – but one minus the dry, flaky lip effect.

And it's the new, Joli Rouge Velvet edition that has everyone talking.

What makes this one different?

Well, it leaves a supple matte finish without drying out your lips – dream combination.

This is down to it's an innovative formula; equally hydrating, lightweight and comfortable to wear yet delivers a true, matte, saturated colour, thanks to its Velvet Booster complex and the fact that it's formulated with organic watermelon extract (super hydrating, in case you didn't know).

It's this that keeps your lips fresh and moisturised – as well the apricot oil – all for no less than six hours yet, crucially, the matte-effect won't get lost.

The lipstick comes in ten shades so you'll have one for day or night and whenever you need a beauty pick-me-up. 

We'll take the lot.

Joli Rouge Velvet costs €24.00 with a matching Crayon Levres lipliner at €18. Both are available at Clarins stockists nationwide.

We cannot WAIT for the release of these babies!

About 1 million selfies are taken daily, and more than a third of these are retouched with any one of 20 Instagram filters (or with the help of a photo-editing app).

Yahoo Labs reviewed 7.6 million social media photos and found that doctored snaps were more likely to be viewed and draw in more likes.

So, with 4K (major high def) tech on it's way next year that will capture every pore and line, we want to know what foundations will give us an airbrush finish:

Make Up Forever Ultra HD Stick Foundation

This is best for women with normal to dry skin, who prefer a medium coverage. 

It cradles small pigment particles in amino acids for a blurring effect, reflects light with connected minerals, and plumps skin with dewy acid spheres. Sound good enough? We think so.

 

Stila Perfectly Poreless Putty Perfector

This foundation is suitable for normal to combinatin skin, and for women who want to erase pores or acne scars.

A clever new mashup of cream foundation and pressed powder, it's the closest thing we've seen to cover up your pores. Tap it on your skin and blend to get a matte finish that also moisturises. 

 

Clinique Beyond Perfecting Powder Foundation + Concealer

This is perfect for normal to oily skin, or if you have a bit of redness.

This powder is super-fine and will gently even out your skin. The formula feels creamy going on and absorbs shine without parching your skin.

Primers do for your skin what lingerie does for your body – they flatter, conceal, smooth out and hold things in place. Everything you put on top of them looks immediately better. 

So, whether you want to hide your pores, smooth out fine-lines or mattify your skin, these primers will create the perfect base for whatever else you wish to wear:

Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer

This primer has a very large and loyal fan base as it's great for giving skin a soft photo-finish and silky texture. 

 

Benefit The Porefessional

Porefessional is devoted to minimising your pores and uses an oil-free formula for longer-lasting results. 

 

Clinique Superprimer Colour Corrects

Clinique has a range of trouble-shooting primers that target different skin types. This colour-correcting formula one has a subtle bronze tint that will brighten up even the dullest face. 

 

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion

Now, we know this is only for your eye area but it's a brilliant formula that will help keep you eye make-up in place all day.

 

MAC Prep + Prime Natural Radiance

This beauty creates an even skin tone and the ideal base for make-up. It noticeably reduces any oiliness on your skin and you can choose the base colour to suit your skin tone.
