Soft Definition

Master the art of effortless contouring with Burberry’s Face Contour. A favourite of Wendy Rowe, it has a lightweight texture that blends easily to add definition to your face. Suitable for just under the cheekbones, down the jawline and at the eye sockets, “it creates shadows and softly sculpts the face,” says Rowe. Available in a Medium shade for light to medium skin tones, and a Dark shade that flatters medium to deep complexions. Face Contour, $54

Prep and prime

Another of Wendy Rowe’s favourites, she recommends massaging the Fresh Glow Luminous Fluid Base into skin like you would a moisturiser to illuminate the skin. Infused with 55 percent water, this featherlight primer is the perfect base to smooth skin and boost moisture instantly. It also boasts light-reflecting pearls that help diffuse the appearance of imperfections for a lit-from-within glow. Available in two shades, Nude Radiance and Golden Radiance, to flatter every skin tone. Fresh Glow Luminous Fluid Base, $70
