The much anticipated launch of Victoria Beckham’s make up line with Estée Lauder has been dominated by rave reviews of her brand-new Morning Aura, a primer and moisturiser editors are saying really does work wonders. Primers are often overlooked, but when you use a good one, with their smoothing, evening and plumping properties, you’ll certainly appreciate the results. Here’s our edit of those consistently on international beauty editors’ wish lists.
