The Best Moisturisers to Use Under Makeup, For Every Budget
The Best Moisturisers to Use Under Makeup, Per Top Makeup Artists

While the original 8 Hour Cream is beloved by the pros, the ointment is way too thick to put all over the face (it's regularly used as a lip balm or targeted treatment for severely dry patches of skin). The Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Great 8 Daily Defense Moisturizer (£36), on the other hand, is a favourite of makeup artist Grace Ahn, who, in addition to shooting for some of the world's best fashion magazines, also works with celebs like Lizzo, Katy Perry, Mj Rodriguez, and Indya Moore. "This moisturiser has the perfect texture for under makeup," Ahn explained. "It is a lightweight liquid that is extremely hydrating, leaving the skin with a dewy finish and giving the best slip for under any makeup. It also has an SPF 35, which is a bonus."
