We love getting to peek behind the curtain and into our favourite celebrities' makeup routines - and we love it even more when the products they use are affordable enough for us to invest in them.
So of course we were delighted when we spotted the below post from last summer where Kate Winslet's makeup artist Lisa Eldridge revealed that she uses her brand's Seamless Skin Enhancing Tint on the A-lister. It's just £37, making it more affordable than some of the other lightweight foundations we love. Its flawless, radiant finish has a 'your skin but better' feel, making it ideal for everyday wear this spring.

While there are plenty of serum foundations and a host of incredible tinted moisturisers on the market that all offer sheer, glowy coverage, woman&home's digital beauty writer Naomi Jamieson says that the Kate-approved tint has some benefits that its competitors don't.
"Tints like Lisa Eldridge's Seamless Skin formula boast nourishing ingredients, like prickly pear and glycerin, to hydrate and protect your skin during wear - making them preferable to heavy and sometimes drying matte foundations and the like," she explains.
This is the main draw to the skin tint, with it promising a 'fresh and natural' finish that looks like your skin but healthier, blurred, more even and super glowy. Plus, the moisturising, soothing and plumping ingredients Naomi loves help to rejuvenate the skin.
With hundreds of five-star reviews, it's clear that it's not only Kate who adores the stuff. "This is such a beautiful product," one satisfied beauty lover said in a review. "Somehow it looks invisible while still offering coverage and evening out my redness-prone skin! Very 'my skin but better!'"
Another added, "It leaves a flawless, natural complexion – it’s so lightweight, you’ll forget you’re wearing it."
Naomi also loves how perfect the product is for when spring and summer roll around.
She says, "When the weather (finally) gets warmer, many of us tend to lean away from heavier, full-coverage foundations in favour of skin tints, which still offer light coverage but with more of a sheer and glowy-looking finish.
"They're also a great option if you prefer more natural and low-maintenance makeup, as they're quick to apply and work to enhance rather than mask."

This liquid highlighter gives a gorgeous glow to the skin while also leaving it feeling soft and supple. Apply all over the face with your fingers or a brush for an instant smoothing and skin-firming effect that also delivers deep hydration and improves skin's elasticity.
A tinted lipbalm made with 87% natural ingredients, the Baume Embrace lip colour leaves a beautiful, sheer tint on the lips while also delivering a surge of hydration that helps to restore and protect dry, cracked lips.
For events when Kate wants a little extra coverage on the skin, this long-lasting, buildable foundation with a medium coverage and lightweight formula is her go-to. It has a similarly natural look to the skin tint but is just a little heavier.
