When you want your make-up to look sleek and perfect, there's sometimes a temptation to slap on loads of extra foundation and hope for the best. But beauty experts know that the key to flawless, long-lasting coverage is a good base.

By smoothing skin and minimising pores with a primer, you're creating uniform surface for your make-up, meaning it won't fade or slide off halfway through the day.

We tried out GOSH's Velvet Touch range and fell in love with its skin-enhancing properties.

First up is the GOSH Velvet Touch Foundation Primer Classic. This can be used under make-up as a base, or by itself as a daily moisturiser to give skin an all-over glow. The colourless formula fills in fine lines and deep pores in the skin, meaning your foundation will look better than ever!

For extra coverage, shine control and skin hydration, we are big fans of GOSH's Velvet Touch Prime n' Set Powder. This multi-functional product can be applied over make-up to keep everything in place, ensuring an airbrushed finish all day long. It can also be used alone or as a base for powder.

No flawless face is complete without a gorgeous glossy lip colour, and our go-to has to be GOSH's Lip Lacquer. The colour lasts for hours and the formula is enriched with Argan oil and Vitamin E to keep your lips from drying out. There are eight colours in the range – we love the girly pale pink Flirty Lips shade… perfect for daytime wear!
