As a beauty editor, I've tried and tested countless foundations, from CC creams that claim to hide redness to bases that promise A-list standard smooth skin. However, they often fall short of their claims. But one foundation that never fails to impress me is the Sculpted by Aimee's Satin Silk Longwear Foundation, £28.

I'm currently on my third bottle and can't imagine anything else taking its place in my makeup bag. This ultra-light, non-comedogenic formula provides full coverage while nourishing my skin. Its sweat-resistant pigments ensure I look fresh all day long – no touch-ups required, just a bit of powder if my T-zone gets shiny.

It's my go-to for busy days when I'm out early, working in the office, and then heading out in the evening. It truly doesn't budge, even when I'm hopping on and off sweaty tubes.

    I also suffer from frequent rosacea flare-ups, so finding a foundation that feels light but offers full coverage has been a struggle. The Satin Silk foundation from Sculpted by Aimee is the best of both worlds. The before and after photos I'm sharing here are from just a light layer of the foundation.

    Moreover, thanks to the skincare ingredients in the formula, my skin looks more even and much calmer when I wash off my makeup at the end of the day. I'm a firm believer that the £28 price tag is worth it, as a bottle lasts me quite a while due to the small amount needed for effective results.

    However, if you're after a more budget-friendly option, I'd recommend elf's Flawless Finish Foundation, priced at £9. It offers buildable, blendable colour and a flattering semi-matte finish, enhancing uneven skin tone and texture whilst on.
