Beauty buffs get compliments on their skin thanks to 'subtle' tinted moisturiser
'Lovely subtle product for no make-up days leaves a healthy, natural-looking glow with buildable coverage' Whether for running errands or just giving skin a breather, the 'no makeup' look is a go-to for many. Tinted moisturiser is a great way to acheive natural-looking coverage - and now there's a new launch to help get the effortless vibe. Laura Mercier's Tinted Moisturiser Natural Dewy SPF 30 (£39, Space NK) is the latest addition to the brand's roster, with fans already singing its praises. One shopper said it leaves them with a 'healthy, natural-looking glow', while another claimed they'd already purchased a second tube. The moisturiser helps to even out skin tone and deliver long-lasting coverage, while minimising the look of pores for a smoother, more refined finish. It's available in 15 shades, carefully developed to suit a broad spectrum of skin tones. The formula itself has a wealth of skin-loving ingredients. Organic French rock samphire helps reduce sebum production, keeping shine at bay throughout the day. Meanwhile, a white rose wine complex works to balance oil levels why eijitsu rose (a Japanese botanical extract) visibly tightens and blurs the appearance of pores. It also contains SPF30, making it ideal for everyday wear. For those who prefer to shop around, another tinted SPF I rate highly is Trinny London's BFF. I raved about it non-stop last year for its hydrating feel and glow-boosting finish. Otherwise, Merit's The Uniform Tinted Mineral SPF is also a great option. When I tried it, it blended seamlessly into my skin and didn't have a cakey finish. Back to Laura Mercier; it has had plenty of great reviews via Space NK. One shopper said: "Lovely subtle product for no make-up days leaves a healthy, natural-looking glow with buildable coverage. "It blurs skin imperfections well and blends well with other primer or moisturiser products, longwearing, a little goes a long way, so good price point, a firm favourite for mature skin." Another pleased reviewer said: "I tried the 15ml version of the Laura Mercier Natural Dewy Tinted Moisturiser in shade '3N Sand' and became obsessed with the product - it provides me with the perfect light coverage I am looking for. I have already repurchased the larger size of the product and will continue to repurchase in the future." However, not everyone was as impressed. One buyer noted: "The packaging was underwhelming, and I found the lid a bit bothersome to use. I prefer a pump-style dispenser. "Despite my skin being exfoliated, the product just sat on top of my skin; it didn't sink in. I found it had very few moisturising benefits or coverage so that I won't be using it again." Saying that, someone else wrote: "It is a really lovely and light texture, but also has good coverage - I have imperfections and it helps cover that up. Since wearing it, I have received two compliments on my skin - and I've never had compliments on my complexion before. A great product."

Louise McSharry: Many sections of the beauty industry ignore people over 40 – here are three brands that love us
I used to feel like I belonged. That every product was for me and that the world was my cosmetic oyster. These days, it's a little different. While I don't subscribe to hard and fast rules about 'age appropriateness', much of the space feels targeted directly at women in their 20s and 30s, and not really interested in women like me. You may well be rolling your eyes if you're older than me. I'm obviously not the first person to raise this issue, and I know how frustrating it is to hear someone suddenly appreciating a reality you've been shouting about for ages because it's finally impacting them. Still, better late than never. I'm here, I see the problem and I have some suggestions for you. While many sections of the beauty industry would like to ignore people over 40, there are some brands which not only cater to us, but treasure us. Here are three beauty brands that embrace the beauty of women past their 30s. Jones Road ( — Make-up artist Bobbi Brown's second beauty brand was created out of her own need for products that delivered on her mature skin. She wasn't interested in looking younger, she simply wanted her existing face to look a little better. The result is products which focus on hydration, and pretty tones which elevate your natural beauty. I recommend (1) Miracle Balm, a tinted balm which can be tapped on the lips or cheeks to add glow and hydration. Sculpted by Aimee ( — Aimee Connolly may only be in her early 30s, but her brand has been accessible for people of all ages from the outset. This may come down to her close relationship with her mum, who regularly features in social media content, or it may simply be an astute recognition of the broadness of her customer base. One way or the other, she deserves credit for creating products and content which can be appreciated by a wide range of make-up lovers. I recommend (2) Second Skin Dewy Foundation, a beautifully hydrating complexion product which leaves skin looking healthy and gorgeous. Trinny London ( — It probably comes as no surprise that a brand founded by a woman over 50 caters brilliantly to mature skin and style, but it's still worth noting. Not only does the range of beauty and skincare work beautifully on older skin, it's also incredibly easy to use. You can do a full face of make-up with your fingers, and look healthy, fresh and gorgeous throughout. I recommend (3) BFF All Day Foundation, which beautifully evens the skin tone and covers what it needs to, without looking cakey or too much. (Full disclosure: I recently worked with Trinny London, but I simply couldn't write a list like this without including the brand.) (4) Sarah Creal ( — Unfortunately, this brand isn't available in this part of the world yet, but if you find yourself in the US, I highly recommend you check it out. This very cool brand is aimed at 'babes 40+' and I want the entire range. You'll find the products in Sephora. Buying Irish In my opinion, there is a fair amount of unnecessary panic projected on to people during pregnancy. If you listened to everyone about what you should and shouldn't do, you would end up incredibly confused and potentially having an anxiety attack. Having said that, it's understandable that many desire total confidence in the products they use when they're expecting. Skn to Skn (from €37 via is a brand created by Irish woman Sarah Stokes specifically with pregnancy in mind. Developed in consultation with consultant dermatologist Prof Catriona Ryan, the products are not only pregnancy-safe, but formulated especially for hormonal skin. Something old... Mason Pearson is a name which has been synonymous with high-end hair brushes since the early 20th century. Mason Pearson used the knowledge he gained working in the wool processing industry to develop an innovative rubber cushion hairbrush. The product is largely the same as it was in the 1920s, and has inspired many similar brushes to be developed by other brands. Available in a variety of sizes and tufts (types of bristle combinations), there is a Mason Pearson brush to suit every hair type and need. I like the Popular Bristle and Nylon Hairbrush, or BN1 (€197.77 via in blue. The combination of nylon and boar bristles works beautifully on long hair to bring out its gloss via effective oil distribution, and the powder blue colour will give your hair routine a hint of old school chicness. ... Something new I'm a big believer in buying once and buying well. It hasn't always been that way, once upon a time, my purchases were made impulsively and with minimal thought but these days, I think carefully. Researching a product and choosing one which will bring pleasure each time I use it is a better way to live. With that in mind, I'd like to highlight Oribe's beautiful new six-piece collection of hairbrushes. Made from Italian cellulose resin, each brush is handcrafted to deliver perfectly balanced weight, grip and control. The Italian Resin Flat Brush (€112 via is the one I think most of us would get the most use out of. It features a combination of boar bristles and nylon pins to ensure detangling and even distribution of the hair's natural oils, resulting in peak glossiness for your hair. Aside from that, it's absolutely beautiful, and would certainly add glamour to your daily routine.

Trinny Woodall: There was nothing I could have done about ex-husband's suicide
What Not To Wear star Trinny Woodall has said there was 'nothing I could have done' about her ex-husband Johnny Elichaoff's suicide. On Fearne Cotton's Happy Place podcast, the 61-year-old reflected on the former drummer and businessman's death in 2014, and praised the work of charities looking into mental health and suicide. Asked about her regrets by Cotton, Woodall said: 'I think going back to earlier, it's that would've, should've, could've – so do I regret that I didn't do more for my ex-husband to stop him killing himself? No, because it was nothing I could have done. 'So to ponder on the regret of somebody who kills himself, it can take you into the darkest hole, but you can also know when somebody who is in that situation switches off, and that is their path and nobody can get in. 'I had to learn.' Woodall said there are 'fabulous charities' working in the area of mental health and suicide – which she said is the biggest cause of death in men under 50. She went on to speak about how she guided daughter Lyla, who was 11 at the time, through Elichaoff's death. She explained: 'When I heard about Lyla's dad, Lyla was at school and my first challenge was how can I even tell her, how can I say the words to tell her. 'My sister was a friend of a woman called Julia Samuel, who wrote an amazing book, Grief Works, and she's fantastic. 'Julia came around to our house and I just said, 'I need some words', and so she said, 'you're going to tell her he had a heart attack in his head'. 'We told her (Lyla) and she screamed really loudly and it was like an animal scream, and then 20 minutes later she's downstairs getting a snack, so children's absorption of what has happened is that there's that gut, she really loved her dad. 'This thing is just, she can't quite understand it, but she knows that he's not coming back in some daily way and then we had a cremation so then there's a real awareness. 'There's a lot of people saying, 'I'm so sorry about your dad, Lyla', so she's manic a little, she was running around with her friends and then there was a memorial only 10 days after that, and there were 1,200 people in the church. 'Lyla got up and read If, but she didn't read it, she said it with nothing and didn't cry and it wasn't that she was being strong.' The beauty entrepreneur was also asked if she regrets taking drugs for a decade. She added: 'I actually don't, because it gave me such a depth of having to deal with life at an early age, some testing things that it rounded me up more as a person. 'When I got into my 30s, I had a lot of experience to draw on to be resilient, so thereby I don't regret that it happened and I should draw upon it.' Best known for hosting BBC fashion show What Not To Wear with Susannah Constantine, Woodall is also the founder of cosmetics brand Trinny London.
