Alice Hart-Davis says: it all rather depends on your skin but one I adore is Shiseido Dual Balancing Makeup, which is nice and runny and goes on very easily and is full of complicated technology for moisturising the dry bits of the face while absorbing oil in the oily bits.You can skim it over your face but if you need more coverage on particular bits it does that well, too. Expensive - £28 - but worth it, call 0207 313 4774 for stockists
