As we age, our skin gets drier and it can be hard to keep foundation in place all day. One of the main reasons our make-up goes patchy is a bad skincare routine. Lisa Potter-Dixon, head make-up artist for Benefit Cosmetics, says the three vital steps to better foundation are to prepare, prime and perfect the skin before applying. For particularly dry skin, like Jane's, Lisa suggests mixing a facial oil such as Nude ProGenius Omega Treatment Oil (£58, nudeskincare.com) with your usual moisturiser. 'This will add a healthy glow and keep your skin hydrated for longer.' Celebrity facialist Sarah Chapman says that exfoliation is also vital for an even make-up finish.As we age our skin gets drier, making it hard to keep foundation in placeA bad skincare routine is usually the main reason behind this problemPriming the skin is a key step in ensuring that foundation stays on all day
