The weather today. This sticky, muggy heat thing that’s going on. Thanks England. Yes, the British bang on about the weather just about ALL of the time, but with valid reason. Today is it that awkward, in-betweeny climate where it’s not sure what the hell it wants to do, creating not only a nightmare for outfit choices but a difficult environment for make-up too. This humidity makes staying fresh and flawless all day very, very hard. 

Now, unless you’re up for carting around a whopper stash of blotting paper to press onto your face at 12 minute intervals, it can be pretty hard to keep away shine. The oily, T-zone shine, that is. How on earth Gisele manages to look so fresh in that soaring Californian heat, a baby on each arm, is completely beyond me. But she’s a supermodel, lest we forget. The world’s greatest supermodel, which means she doesn’t falter. Ever.

So while it’s highly unlikely that you’ll wake up tomorrow with Gisele’s blessed, shine-free complexion, there’s help at hand with the barrage of high-tech, mattifying and shine reducing heroes that have flooded the beauty market in recent weeks. Stock up fast on the top picks in the gallery above and rest assured that your skin will look as immaculate as… Gisele’s. Pretty much.
