She advises that what you put under your make-up controls the wear of it. So if you’re layering multiple thick, hydrating products and go for a sheerer base, it’s not going to have much luck adhering to the skin with that much slip, especially if your skin is on the oilier side, so it’s important to understand what works best for you.

She then takes a flat brush and a pressed powder and gently blots the areas looking too shiny. When it comes to the eye area, she pats the powder in the opposite direction of her fine lines (ie anti-clockwise). “If you sweep power across the under-eye area, it could make fine lines more obvious. By going backwards, you’re sort of pushing the powder into the area as opposed to letting it sit on top,” she says.

The result? The coverage you need to counteract any darkness without having to swipe excess product all day long. Katie Jane Hughes, we thank you for this game-changing concealer hack.
