Conceal like a pro! Instant fixes for mottled, blemished skin

Use a CC cream

Patchy skin looks dull. Fact. So begin with a layer of No7 Youthful CC Cream, £14.50, Boots. CC stands for colour correcting and, here, the warm tones even out the skin and illuminate the face simultaneously.

Colour correct

Mask brown spots with a clever coloured crayon. The pink version of Max Factor Colour Corrector Stick, £9.99, Boots, neutralises dark spots on fair complexions, while the peach one works best on darker skin tones.

Glow up

It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better Foundation + Skincare, £32, itcosmetics.com, has a naturally radiant finish to blur imperfections, like your favourite Instagram filter. Plus, it exfoliates so that, over time, skin appears smoother.
